Vicky Akin | McKinney Family Photographer

November was full (in every sense of the word), and I've been quieter here than usual, but I didn’t want to miss the chance to share that one of my images was featured in the Feels Like Family Fall Journal.

This community celebrates storytelling rooted in real life. Messy, tender, fleeting moments held together by connection rather than perfection. It’s the kind of work I’ve felt myself pulled toward more and more this year, and the direction I’m leaning into wholeheartedly as I head into the next.

Incredibly grateful to be included alongside so many thoughtful, documentary-minded family photographers whose work honors the beauty of the everyday
