LRP Featured in Heartful Magazine's Spring 2026 Issue!

I'm so proud to announce that I have an image featured in the spring issue of Heartful Magazine! Heartful is a truly iconic publication celebrating family photographers from all over the world. It feels surreal to have one of my images chosen from over 10,000 submitted!

It's amazing and encouraging to see a collection of imagery that highlights family photos that are so much more than pretty smiles or perfectly coordinated outfits. I believe we have fully entered a new era of family photography — one with greater meaning, breadth, and soul — and I'm so honored to be part of it.

The image chosen is from an at-home newborn session last fall. However, this moment is all about the indelible, tender bond between a mom and her firstborn. I decided to step outside their house for this image, which gave me a more interesting, more intimate-feeling view. I created it using Portra 400 35mm film.

This is my third time being featured in Heartful Magazine.
