Lifestyle sessions are my jam.  It's what I live for, love to do, and what family photography is all about for me.  Maybe that is because lifestyle sessions aim to capture what is real and in the moment.  Maybe it's because I see beauty in the everyday chaos of life and understand that these are the things we will all want to remember.  Maybe it's because I get really sappy and sentimental the moment I realize my own kids are growing up way too quickly and they probably just did something for the very last time.  Whatever the reason may be, I am obsessed with family lifestyle sessions!  So obsessed, in fact, that I came up with 4 reasons why you should have one in your home. I also know that having someone in your home and in your personal space to capture these moments can seem a bit intimidating or overwhelming, so it may take a little convincing. But I promise you it will be fun, relaxed, and you will have beautiful and artistic photos that will help you to remember this season of your family's life. 

1. In home lifestyle sessions allow us to capture all the little details.  The bouncy curls on the head of your toddler, the freckles on your son's nose, all the little toes on their growing feet, or the quilt grandma made.  All these little details help tell a story.  Your story. 

2. When we photograph in your home we get a glimpse into your environment; the place where you live, thrive and get to be a family.  Your home is where it all happens and where you make memories on a daily basis. You know that nursery you spent months decorating, or the awesome little reading nook where your family likes to hang out? Now you can have documentation of you and your family spending time in the places you all love the most. And your children will have something to remember these spaces and the memories you all made together in them for years to come.  

3. My favorite part of lifestyle may be the expressions and natural emotions that are captured as everyone is interacting together in your home.  True personalities shine through when you are in the space that you are most comfortable in with the people you love the most.  

4. I also love that we can capture your family doing the things they love to do together at home.  Whether it is making breakfast together, playing board games, making Lego creations, or just reading or cuddling in your favorite spot. You rarely get to capture your family doing these things together with you in them!

Lifestyle photography is more than just candid action shots for me.  It's about capturing your personality, telling stories through pictures, evoking feelings, and creating art from your everyday moments!  Connect with me to find out more or to schedule your family's lifestyle in home session!
