There is something special about slowing down and documenting life right where it happens. For this in-home maternity session in Redondo Beach, I spent the afternoon with Janelle and Cam, capturing the familiar comforts of home, the excitement of a growing family, and the little moments that make this season their own.
Some seasons of life deserve to be remembered exactly as they are. The familiar corners of home, the excitement of what's to come, and the little details that make this chapter uniquely yours.
I spent an afternoon with Janelle and Cam at their home in Redondo Beach, documenting this sweet season as they prepare to welcome their little one. Of course, Finley and Swoop were part of the fun, too. Because what's a family session without the family pets making an appearance?
There is something especially meaningful about photographing families in their own spaces. Nothing needs to be perfectly arranged or overly planned. Just the two of you, the home you've made together, and all the love that's about to grow.
I photograph every session using a combination of digital and film, and this afternoon was no exception. Digital allows me to capture all the little in-between moments as they unfold, while film brings a softness, nostalgia, and timeless quality that I especially love for seasons like this. Together, they tell a fuller story, preserving both the big moments and the little details that make this chapter so special.
Janelle and Cam, thank you for welcoming me into your home and trusting me to preserve a little piece of this chapter for you. I hope these photographs bring you right back to this time for many years to come.
