Locations can have a big impact on your family photo session. Photographers guard little known locations like the treasure they are. I’m always on the look out while driving, keeping my eyes peeled for beautiful light and safe spots for families. They are not as easy to come by as you may think…especially here in The Woodlands!

I’m going to let you in on a little secret though. You know where my my very favorite location is? I’m not even afraid to share it….because it’s exclusive to only YOU! Your home, your sacred family space is my very favorite location to shoot at.

Some people panic when they first think about this. But what if my home isn’t “photo worthy”? It’s not as decorated….it’s not as beautiful…it’s not as new… You see what you’re doing there? When you let those thoughts or concerns take over, you’re comparing your sacred space to someone else’s. The reason I absolutely love shooting in clients homes is because they are such a true reflection and happy place for that family. This is where your memories are made!

This is especially true for little ones. That nursery isn’t going to be a nursery forever! By scheduling a photo session in your home, you are essentially creating a time capsule that you will look back on and it will bring it all back like it was just yesterday. Trust me on this….these days may feel long but the years go oh so fast.

My all time favorite session of my own family was taken in our home in California right before we moved. I’m so grateful. Also…it made it easier to enjoy a glass of wine with my husband right before our afternoon session! Everybody was happy. It was a win-win, and the photos showed that.

This sweet family invited me in to capture their little guy, who was around 7 months at the time of the session. He was just sitting up but not quite crawling…lots of firsts going on. We photographed about half the session in the nursery and then worked in other rooms where they enjoyed hanging out as a family. I loved everything about it!
