Hello Friends & Fans! There are times when it is better for my clients to have their session taken in the privacy and comfort of their own home. I've provided this service for a while now and it seems to be a great option for my clients. Here are a few images from In-Home sessions and a few reviews from the clients themselves. Enjoy!

Leila was still in her mommy's belly during her first In-Home Session. Her mommy was beautiful during her pregnancy. We held the first part of the session indoors and the second part of her session outdoors.

Here is Leila at 3 months! The floor and background are both mine. 

Sometimes I like to use my own props like the flower clip. My clients are awesome and usually have a great selection of their own to use :)

On a rainy day we took an extended family portrait.

We had a change of plans and decided to have Leila's One Year pictures at Linda's home. There was still some daylight to use so we made it work just out the front door!

Here is a review from Leila's Great Aunt, Linda. Thanks Linda for taking the time to provide your opinion and feedback!

"I think there are definitely more pros than cons when having an in home session. I have had a few in-home sessions and they have turned out great! 

When you have an in-home session you don’t have to worry about inclement, especially if you have children involved in the session. You have personal products (i.e. brush, hairspray, make up for touch ups) readily available, in case you need them between shots. ;O) Your photos are much personal because you are utilizing your own home and furnishing which no studio can do. Yours photos will always be a one of kind because they are taken in your home. Last but not least you and your family don’t have to be as nervous because you will be in your home with familiar surroundings. Again, this is especially helpful when taking photos of toddlers or young children. 

I think the only con about having an in-home session is that you will be limited. Meaning you would not want to take family photos in your home every single year. Photos with the same or similar backgrounds would become boring very quickly. 

... Thank you for giving me the chance to give you my opinion. " -Linda

Linda did decide to take advantage of an outdoor location for her family. She gave me the opportunity to explore a new location. Thank You!

I work with an awesome and beautiful young lady and it's been wonderful seeing her when I walk into work during the week. Elizabeth hired me to come over for Christmas pictures with her husband and babies.

Here is her review.

"The Pros for having an In Home session were several!

With having dogs for babies it’s not an easy task to take your animals to have their picture taken at a studio.

I have 2 large dogs and having Michelle come to our house saved my sanity and theirs.  Both dogs were much more relaxed in our living room for pictures then I could ever get them to be at a studio.  They were not shaking or nervous and our pictures turned out great, I think they were even smiling.  It was a lot less stressful for the animals and their parents and the convenience was outstanding. 

We also had several outfit changes and to be able to go to your bedroom to change, was much easier then having to bring all of the outfits to the studio, change in a cramp dressing room and then look great for the pictures.  This way, I also did not have to worry about losing any accessory or outfit. 

I cannot think of any cons Michelle, why don’t they all do this?  " -Elizabeth

Thank you Elizabeth! We took these pictures near Halloween and just need to share this super cute picture!

Thank you to both Linda and Elizabeth for taking time out of your busy schedules to review your experience. I hope this provides a little more insight to my clients. Here are a few more images from other In-Home sessions that I've taken.
