Front porch sessions are very popular right now. I'm sure you've seen examples pop up in your feed of cute families gathered for a candid picture in front of their home. Not only is it great for maintaining good social distance, but nothing quite captures a moment in time, this moment in time, like an image documenting you and your loved ones in front of the place you call home.
Front porch sessions have been a staple of my photographic practice long before Covid-19. I have always encouraged these kinds of sessions not only because they're extremely convenient for when your two year old just doesn't feel like being strapped into their carseat that day, but also because being at home, in your natural environment, is the best way of capturing the true essence of you and your family. What better way of capturing that perfect, natural smile of your child than while they excitedly show off all their cool toys? Against the backdrop of your home the photos are instantly made that much more personal to you. Anyone can go to a park but your home is a part of you
Sessions at home, or in the back yard, or the front yard speak to what is at the heart of M.Photo: turning everyday moments into lifelong memories. It's important to document where you live and how you live as you're living it. Preserve it with photos. Hold it close.
