Morning Routine on Film

This cuddly in-home family photography session in Indianapolis turned an ordinary morning into timeless film memories.

One of my absolute favorite things about family photography is how the everyday can show up as the pure magic it truly is when you slow down enough to notice it. This sweet trio invited me into their Indianapolis home early one morning, and I had the joy of documenting their real-life morning routine — breakfast together, a little toothbrushing realness, and cozy story time piled in bed.

This family are dear repeat clients, and each time they choose an all-film family session. This round I brought along both 35mm and my Holga medium format camera, which gave us that dreamy, nostalgic texture that digital just can’t touch. The kind of images that feel like memories already, even the second you hold them in your hands.

Sessions like this are why I love being an Indianapolis lifestyle family photographer so much — your ordinary start to the day, your matching striped pajamas, your laughter over a messy breakfast. The little things that end up being the big things. It all felt playful, effortless, and so perfectly them.

If you’ve been curious about in-home family photography or want to explore the timeless beauty of film family photos, let’s create something beautiful together. These are the moments worth remembering — your story, just as it is.
