Why Lifestyle Photography?

Lifestyle photography allows us to capture the moments we ACTUALLY want to remember. The tiny toes, the fishing excursions, our Saturday morning breakfast traditions. It allows kids to feel like they can be themselves and allows adults to have fun doing the things they love as well! Lifestyle captures not just our faces getting older, but the unique season of life we’re each in.

I remember when my son Miles was a little guy and my husband and I would cart him from photoshoot to photoshoot, hoping and praying he wouldn’t spill applesauce on his brand new outfit or have a full on meltdown during our session. We would often show up so stressed out, it was hard to enjoy our shoot.

One year after having my second son Dylan, I decided that I was over the idea that our family pictures needed to be what the internet would deem perfect. I wanted to be barefoot, I told my husband he could wear whatever he wanted and I allowed my kids to play with bubbles, run around in our backyard and get DIRTY. I wanted our pictures to simply be- US.

So, I hired my fellow photographer friend Emily Poole to come into our home and document this beautiful season of our lives. I chose not to micromanage my toddler’s smile, my husband wrestled the kids in the grass, and it didn’t feel at all like a forced photoshoot.

The best part? Not one meltdown, the most genuine smiles came out of my kids and I can say truly the essence of our family was captured.

After this experience, I decided to take my years of photography experience and channel it solely into allowing my clients to have the same experience I did- whether that be a couples shoot, family shoot etc. I’m HOOKED.

How much does a session cost?

Sessions start at $650 with an option to add a table book with your images. (Please inquire for more info!) Half of the session price is due upon a contract signing and the remainder is due the day of the shoot.

How long will our session last?

Most sessions last an hour to an hour and a half.

Will you help us with location?

Absolutely! If you’ve never done an in home session, I highly recommend starting with one. From there, I love asking my clients what fun things they enjoy doing as a family, places they frequent, etc. I love brainstorming with you to choose a location that not only your family is familiar and comfortable with, but a place that holds a special place in your hearts.

Why “In Home”?

Simply put, in home sessions are easy on you and fun for your kids. Most children (and adults too) are nervous for their first shoot. In home session bring a sense of comfort and familiarity and hold a lot of sentimental value to not only you, but your children.
