At Home - Williams Family

In-Home Session, Family Session, Film

This session deserves a big 'ol post, so here we go...


Earlier this year I participated in Morgan Williams' 6-month mentorship program called "Flourish"; to say that my work has developed through that experience hardly begins to explain it. Morgan helped me clarify the purpose of my photography and gave me the encouragement I needed to step into a more genuine vision for my work. She also encouraged me to try film photography again, which led me to purchase (and now primarily shoot with) 2 film cameras. What a season of growth 2024 has been for Barrier Photography and I have Morgan, largely, to thank for it.


So you can imagine my feelings when Morgan reached out to me this fall and asked if I would photograph her family in their home. I felt honored and terrified and proud, thankfully I said "yes" before I could change my mind. Morgan and her family were kind and fun and flexible, and I am proud of the images we created together.


This session felt like a significant stepping stone towards greater confidence in myself and my photography work. I am truly honored that Morgan trusted me with this responsibility. Enjoy some highlights from our In-Home Session...
