I might be biased but in-home lifestyle sessions are my absolute favorite (and obviously I'm thrilled when a squishy newborn is involved).

There are a million reasons to love lifestyle sessions, but I don't have time to write the dissertation running through my head.

So instead, let's talk about a few of the most important reasons that lifestyle photography is the best way to capture your family through the years.

Growing Babies

Whether or not we like it, those babies are going to grow up, and unfortunately it's going to go faster than any of us want.

Lifestyle photography has the benefit of showing children naturally: playing, running, laughing, crying, and everything else.

As you take regular lifestyle photos, you'll have a visual record of these moments. You'll be able to see the progression of their changing personalities through time.

In other words, you'll be able to look back and watch your children grow up.

Surrounded by Memories

When we photograph your family in your home, we capture the items that surround you: the toys, the decor, the photos, and even the clutter.

As you look back on these keepsake photos, the items in them can help remind you of what you were doing in these moments.

A Sense of Place

There is so much nostalgia in the bones of your home. From the way the sun comes through the windows in the morning to the way the floor creaks when you sit on the couch. When you look back at these photos, the surrounding home lets you step back into those moments.

Personality and Purpose

When I take in-home lifestyle photos, I encourage your family to be yourselves. If your kiddos want to play, they absolutely should! One of the joys of lifestyle is that it captures personalities so well. No one is stiffly posed or uncomfortably dressed. You can relax in your home and enjoy each other - that will make the best photos!
