I'm Michelle
Because you shouldn’t have to choose just one moment to remember, this is your way to hold on to the whole story.
Because some moments are meant to be seen as they unfold, movement, emotion, and the beauty of this season, just as it was.
We decided to do this family’s Encinitas Lifestyle Family Photography session in their home. And their new place couldn’t be dreamier! In-home family sessions are unique in that the space is totally yours. I love when my clients open their home for an in-home lifestyle session. We always capture the sweetest, intimate portraits because you can truly be yourself in the comfort of your own home.
I have been working with this family since their oldest was in his mama’s tummy, and I just adore them. For these photos we wanted to keep everything neutral and light. I really wanted to highlight them as a family, because they have such beautiful chemistry! You can definitely feel the love pouring out of these images. Especially between mama and daddy! Their new home is one that will bring laughter, love, and family memories throughout the seasons.
Shooting a lifestyle session in your home is such a special gift to give yourself. Within these walls you are raising babies, growing as a family, and building a life together. Whether it is your first home or your forever home, these images will be cherished beyond measure. Encinitas lifestyle family photography allows for such vibrant and dimensional imagery. The surrounding neighborhood is so beautiful, and truly makes for gorgeous imagery of your local lifestyle.
I love that this sweet family had these swings installed before they moved in! What a fun way to create playful memories of their babies’ childhood home. Big brother had so much fun swinging next to dad while he held baby sister! It’s hard to believe I’ve known them so long, and have had the honor of capturing their family journey. I truly adore capturing memories through the years for my repeat clients! It’s so incredible to experience the joy in images of how far you’ve come as a family.

If this season feels tender, beautiful, or just a little fleeting, it may be His way of inviting you to pause and hold it close. I’d be honored to walk with you.
