Family Session at Home in Durham

This at-home family session in Durham was full of energy, laughter, and the best kind of chaos — exactly what life with four kids should be. Their beautiful, wooded backyard was glowing with fall color, the perfect backdrop for playing in the leaves and capturing genuine connection right where they spend most of their time. The light filtering through the trees, the pops of autumn color, and the way each child’s personality came through made this Durham family photography session one of my favorites this season.

I love photographing families at home because it instantly puts everyone at ease. Kids can run, play, and be themselves, and parents get to relax without the stress of going somewhere new. These sessions capture your family’s rhythm in the place that matters most — the home you’ve built together.

Here are a few favorites from our afternoon together:
