I’m not sure where to begin in talking about this session, so I’ll start at the beginning. I met Rachel a couple years ago, another photographer, at Yeah Field Trip, a creative workshop. While there, I took her photo and we began a friendship…one of those mostly online and screen-based long-distance friendships, but still, she has turned out to be one of my favorite people, all the while remaining an enigma of a human to me (she home schools her 5 children while running her own bad ass photography business. How? Is she Super Woman? Is she Amazing? Yes and Yes!).
So fast forward a couple years, and I visited Rachel at her home in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland to photograph her family (with my kids in tow). And because we both love film, I exclusively shot both medium-format and 35mm film for this session. I hope you can see the love and the beautiful mess of life that comes with a family of 5 kids (and maybe because I’m the oldest of 5 myself I have a special place in my heart for this magical family).
And P.S. Normalize breastfeeding already!
