2020 At Home | The Lynches

Over the past ten years, I’ve developed a passion and skill for shooting families at home. Stemming from my love of photographing my daughters daily in our own homes, I have carried over my talents into my clients homes for years.

It is currently May 2020, months deep into the global COVID-19 pandemic, and Texas has started to ease restrictions on quarantine efforts that we hoped would slow the spread of this virus. The Lynches were kind enough to take advantage of this time to hire me to photograph their current “new normal.”

With their four children learning at home, and new weeknight traditions taking root to curb the boredom, their home is full with a kind of patience and joy that is inspiring to me. That’s not to say that aren’t meltdowns, and tantrums, and rotten attitudes, but Charissa carries an appreciation for this time that seems to keep the entire house in line.

Spring Favorites

Y’all. I miss my clients.
I’m so grateful that my March, and April clients have been sweet enough to postpone their sessions, but, MAN, I miss them!

This spring I helped welcome a few babies, worked with some of my favorite brands, and got to show off my sweet little hometown with some vacationing families. Since we’re all at home, I thought I’d share some of my favorite images from the start of this year.

I will be so thrilled to get back to booking sessions, as I’m sure we’ll all be so excited to get back to certain parts of our normal life. I’ll be sharing a very sweet engagement session and maternity session very soon, and will let all of you know as soon as I’m able to start planning sessions again.

Welcome Baby Bear

A few months ago I had the pleasure of photographing one of my very favorite humans

Watching my childhood friends become spouses and parents has been such a fulfilling part of “growing up” and being hired to photograph their journeys has been a huge blessing.

And just in case you were wondering, yes, Bear was absolutely the sweetest, chillest, angel baby there ever was.

Gabby’s love of nature sprouts from her bones through generations of green thumbs in her family. It was only fitting that we celebrated the new life in her family by meeting up at her childhood home when she came to visit for Spring Break.
