In Home Family Session in Portsmouth, Virginia

The other day, I had the absolute pleasure to document a morning in the life of this family in their Portsmouth, Virginia home. 
Charming doesn't even begin to describe their morning. 
I arrived and entered into the most soul warming scents of home, kielbasa frying on the stove, pancakes cooking in cast iron skillets. Windows were open and letting in the cool, fresh morning air. Music was softly playing. Dappled light fell beautifully on the kitchen table adorned with fresh cut hydrangeas. And the cutest little toddler "helping" around in the kitchen. 

They showed me their favorite things about their little home and showed me snippets of their life which they thoughtfully documented with a vintage instant camera. We made our way out into the garden and the warm sunshine to pick some fresh tomatoes and to swing on his favorite swing. 
It was an easy morning, relishing in the slow pace of life they enjoy so much. 
I tried to document what it felt like to be in their home, because this season of life will soon be over and they will be moving on to their next adventure. I hope that one day this little buddy (and his parents) will look back on these pictures with so much fondness.
