What do you think of when you hear the word, "home?" It's a word that can stir up a lot of memories. Some may have moved a lot during our childhood and can't think of a place of permanence; others may have stayed in the same house their whole childhood! Regardless how often a person moves, the word "home" not only symbolizes a place, but often relates to family. Who did you live with? Who took care of you? Who did you fight, laugh, and play with? I believe the people you live with really helps define a home to be a home.

This lifestyle family session in Raleigh was so special because the Phillips will be moving soon, and they wanted to capture memories of their family in their beloved home. For those who aren't familiar with lifestyle sessions, lifestyle photography is simply about capturing people doing life. It's about photographing your everyday moments in a genuine and authentic way. During the shoot I had a chance to document the girls reading to their little brother, the family having a fun tickle session, and some family portraits (yes, funny faces are allowed!). Enjoy scrolling through some of my favorites below!

Do you know a friend, neighbor, or even family member who is in the military? It so happened that one of my friends from college, Gabriel, was here last week for training and wanted to get some portraits done before deployment. It was truly an honor to take his photos, and I am so grateful for the freedom we have. Even though we celebrate a few holidays each year to thank our servicemen and women, take a moment to say thank you to someone you know who is serving our country today!

Back to the session, we had a great time taking portraits around the American Tobacco Campus in Durham, NC. Despite the crowds (there was a wedding session, family session, and an engagement session happening!), we were able to snag a couple of good spots. The light was perfect as we took portrait photos during the "golden hour" - the time right before the sun is about to set. The soft light and warm hues really made this portrait session a success, giving the images a vibrant and timeless look.

As we get ready to "spring forward" in a few days, this Durham family will be changing more than just their clocks! Our dear friends, Eric and Nancy, are soon to be expecting their first child! :) We had a wonderful lifestyle maternity session, and took time capturing moments of them simply relaxing at home. One of my favorite things about a lifestyle maternity session is that it preserves the memories of what your life looks like before the baby arrives, and can be a beautiful keepsake to share with your children. As the saying goes, your life changes completely once you have kids!

We also had a fun time with their cats, Roxy and Charlie. They were getting accustomed to the idea of having a baby around this house with the cabbage patch doll! It's so sweet and entertaining to see how pets become a part of the family journey as they grow up with children.
