Sometimes I wish I had chosen to have a studio.  I think of the consistency, having a place to hang all my things, all the ease that would come with it.  Then I travel to a family's home, just days after they've brought a piece of their heart home in the shape of a new baby.  They don't have to try and get out the door, they can feed baby where they feel most comfortable, they can get dressed when they're ready, and their siblings don't have to "behave" while we do posed portraits. I think there is a gift in both options, but I am glad I come to the people I photograph.

I love how organic our time is.  I tell families "please don't clean for me- I have 5 kids- just rest"- and I mean it.  I want them to feel as relaxed as possible, and that is why I love shooting in your home when you have a newborn.
