Home is where the story begins — and for this sweet South Bend family, that story starts inside their brand-new home. Between book reading, wagons, and tiny fingerprints on the windows, this in-home documentary session captures real life just as it is: warm, messy, and full of love.

Grandma’s recipes, flour on little noses, and laughter around the kitchen island—this Plymouth, Indiana Holiday Family Film + Photo session bottled up a family’s favorite Christmas traditions so the memories (and the methods!) last for generations.

This family film takes you to a special harvest time at Grandma and Papa’s home, where memories are made through baking, crafting, and playful moments. Watch as Papa creates new experiences for his grandkids, and see the joy in everyday moments that turn into timeless treasures.

I’ve been participating in FilmingLife Academy’s Art House project series every other month, and this round brought an extra-special surprise—my film was featured! For the Transitions theme, I used our Puerto Rico trip as the perfect backdrop to experiment with in-camera transitions and a rented GoPro. My boys even helped film the water clips, making the final piece feel wonderfully personal. Creating this film was pure joy, and being featured was such an honor.

This Cincinnati family film session is a celebration of the simple, beautiful moments that make up everyday life — laughter, love, and connection. See how Lindsey DeCicco Photography turns an ordinary Saturday into a heartfelt time capsule.

Every family session tells its own story, and this one felt like a quiet, beautiful film unfolding in real time. With long, heartfelt moments and real laughter, Sarah and Roe’s Moving Portrait reminded me why I love what I do — slowing down, soaking in the voices and connection, and creating art that feels like home.
