Every family has their own story. Some are loud and messy, filled with belly laughs and crayon drawings on the walls. Others are quiet and steady, marked by knowing glances and well-worn routines.

If I were to ever specialize in one thing, in-home family photo sessions might be it. I recently photographed this beautiful family in their Baltimore home and their session reminded me just how obsessed I am with in-home family photos.

The H Family is just the sweetest! They’re about to welcome baby #2, so we met for a gorgeous Lake Kittamaqundi maternity photos together to celebrate this big life change.
