At-Home Outdoor Photography with the Evans Family of Five
When I first photographed the Evans family, their son was a toddler and they had just welcomed their first daughter, Olive. Now, I had the privilege of capturing them as a family of five during a beautiful at-home outdoor session in Howard County, celebrating their newest addition, baby Lucille.
Mary Ellen and Paul have created such a warm, loving environment at their Howard County home. Their son has stepped confidently into his role as big brother to not one, but two adorable little sisters. The family’s front yard became a perfect playground as the children took turns racing across the grass, their laughter filling the spring air. These candid moments in their own familiar space created authentic portraits full of personality and joy.
Baby Lucille, the newest Evans family member, was absolutely captivating during her time in the spotlight. We spread a cozy blanket in their backyard where the natural light and spring greenery created the perfect setting for family portraits. At-home outdoor sessions like this combine the comfort of a familiar environment with the beauty of nature, allowing families to relax while creating stunning images.
While we captured some traditional family photos on the blanket that will be treasured for generations, some of my favorite moments came from letting the children play freely throughout their yard. There’s something so genuine about documenting kids in their element – running, exploring, and simply being themselves. And yet, we did manage that photographer’s unicorn moment – all three children looking at the camera simultaneously!
Whether you’re welcoming a new addition, celebrating a milestone, or simply wanting to document your family’s everyday moments, an at-home outdoor session in Howard County offers the perfect opportunity to create meaningful family portraits in your most comfortable setting. The convenience of your own yard combined with professional photography allows for those candid interactions that showcase your family’s unique personality and connections.
