What is different about a lifestyle session?
If you look at my social media, if you look through my website you will see that there are no "traditional" images of everyone looking at the camera and smiling. This is intentional, because I want to build an experience where you can focus on creating and capturing memories with your loved ones. While I do capture at least a few of those traditional images during our session, most of what we will focus on is emotional storytelling.
What is emotional storytelling?
It's about showing your family as you are right here in this point in time. It's taking time to document those flowers your child loves to pick, their favorite song to have dance breaks to, or the games that involve the entire family. I will get to know your family through my questionnaire and our pre-session consultation to capture images that provoke joy, love, and connection.
How to make the most of your lifestyle session
One of the best pieces of advice I can give to help you create stunning and emotional images is to come in to the session with no expectations (especially with little ones). Lean in to the chaos and go with the flow. I follow the children's leads throughout our session and allow them to be themselves. As tempting as it may be try not to tell your children to "look at the camera and smile". The most genuine smiles I capture are when they are having fun and enjoying quality time together.
