There is something extra special about photographing a family in their own space, especially when that space is a new place to call home!
This sweet family had recently moved to Oconee County, GA, from California when we got together for their fall family portraits. The boys were already loving their new school, and the entire family was settling into life in Georgia, exploring the area and discovering all the wonderful things their new community has to offer.


Their beautiful property was the perfect setting for their portraits. The tree-lined gravel driveway, soft evening light and touches of fall color created such a peaceful backdrop. We captured a wonderful mix of traditional family portraits, individual images of the boys, sweet moments between Mom and Dad, and plenty of playful interactions. Even their beloved dog joined in!

The Beauty of At-Home Family Portraits
One of my favorite things about at-home family photography is the personal connection to the surroundings. You don’t have to travel to a park or popular photography location to have beautiful portraits. Sometimes the perfect setting is right outside your front door!
Whether you have a wooded driveway, an open field or a favorite spot in your own backyard, your property can provide a beautiful and meaningful setting for your family’s photographs.



For this family, their Oconee County home was the perfect place to document a new beginning. Years from now, these portraits will not only remind them of what everyone looked like at this stage of life, but also of those early days settling into their new home and making memories together.
Welcome to Georgia! I hope these images always bring back fond memories of the beginning of this wonderful new chapter.
