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.

Carly Waiting for Baby Webb

Photographing Carly in her beautiful Tallahassee low-country inspired home, nestled in Rockport was just an absolute joy. Waiting for a baby in these uncertain times can be anxiety-inducing at the least

Carly has been staying home much longer than required, and invited me to join her making her Nana’s banana nut bread. The recipe was almost instinctual to her, using eggs from her neighbor, bananas that were just perfectly imperfect, in her glorious kitchen

Luke & Emily | Engaged

These two have become really fun friends of mine over the last few years

Watching them make each other laugh, support each other through all life has thrown at our little community, and fall in love with each other for who they really are has been an absolute joy.
