One of my favorite locations for an outdoor session is Pleasant Hill Preserve in Scarborough. Pleasant Hill Preserve on Pleasant Hill Road is a rare open space in one of Scarborough’s largest neighborhoods.

It’s no secret that I LOVE in-home sessions and am a huge advocate that they are actually easier and more relaxing than an outdoor session. I know I know, you may think I am bat sh*t crazy, but I promise I’m not! They are fun, simple and everything you could possibly need is right there. Here are 7 tips to making your in-home session that much more amazing!  

This laughter-filled Portland family portrait session was full of snuggles and smiles! This is one of my favorites from last year.  The Bravo family was so easy to work with and made it so easy to capture the real and raw moments. I've done a few more sessions with this sweet family (stay tuned!) and there is equally as much snuggled and smiles every time!
