Home.  

An environment offering security and happiness.

A valued place regarded as a refuge or place of origin.

The place where something is discovered, founded, developed, or promoted; a source.  

To the center or heart of something; deeply

Aren't these beautiful definitions of home?  This is why I LOVE to photograph in homes.  It is a place where so many memories are made and are being made on a daily basis.  It never fails, every time I enter a home the children are always so eager to greet me and show me around their place of refuge.  Home is special, and I love that kids are always wanting me to experience their home in the same way that they experience it.  

So as I entered the H family's home, I instantly felt welcomed and at home myself.  Maybe because this is a family I have known for more than a decade, but mostly because Mom was folding laundry as I entered the home.  I love her.  This is exactly what I want all my at home sessions to feel like: real, stress free, and FUN!  Oh and we had fun!  As I was photographing the H family it became clear that love abounds here, laughter is contagious, and memories are made daily in this home.
