A light-filled at-home family session, Part 2: Digital! | Charlottesville Family Photographer1/29/2024 Welcome to part two of my Model Call for an at-home family session: the digital portion! If you missed Part 1 — the film images — catch up later here! This marks the first time I made FEWER digital images than film during a session, which feels like such a giant step in my artistry. Nevertheless, I'm still in love with these images! As you can see, this session was filled with lots of giggles, playfulness, and gorgeous winter morning light streaming into their Charlottesville farm house. (At-home sessions are particularly wonderful in the winter months, because the lack of leaves on the tress allows more light to pour through.) I hope you enjoy these images, but picture them with your own family, too! At-home sessions aren't about perfect homes — they're about documenting the love you share in them.

A light-filled at-home family session, Part 1: Film! | Charlottesville Family Photographer1/27/2024 Welcome to part one of my recent Model Call for an at-home family session! I shot a ton of 35 film during this session (Portra 400 for color stock and 400TX for black-and-white), so this blog post is just the film portion! What a dream they turned out to be! In fact, this entire session felt like a dream. A mix of tender and playful, but all light-soaked and joyful — a stark contrast to the below-freezing temperature and snow outside. Why did I want to do an at-home session? Simply put, home is where my work feels most authentic. Toward the end of last year, I started feeling an enormous tug to shift my work from mostly outdoor to mostly at-home. It's where you and your kids are most comfortable — a place where you're surrounded by the warmth you know so well. The family I chose for the session lives in an old farm house in Charlottesville, full of its own quirks and imperfections. It's not the family's forever home, but their memories there will live with them forever; I wanted to capture the essence of those memories. The warmth, the light, and the joy of living in the moment as a young family. I can't wait to weave more at-home sessions into my work this year, and I hope you'll come along for the fun! Stay tuned for the digital portion! Laura Richards is a family and newborn photographer and filmmaker in Charlottesville, Virginia.
