what does lifestyle photography mean?
It’s not about taking photos, it’s about building memories
Lifestyle photography features real life moments and focuses on the essence of your family, so your unique family dynamic can be captured in an artistic manner.
Not to be confused with portrait or documentary style photography, lifestyle photography allows for capturing life as it happens, so we can photograph your family's genuine moments as they unfold.
There won't be posing, but guiding with gentle prompts to bring out connections and feelings between your family members. You can have fun, be yourselves and interact in authentic ways, so whenever you look back at your photographs, you're reminded of the true magic and beauty in the life you have created.
Bring on the love and the chaos, the mess, the tears; I'm here to show you the beauty in it all!
Neurodivergent + Autism Friendly Photography:
I offer photography services that are sensory and neurodivergent friendly.
If you or your family members have specific sensory sensitivities or autism, please let me know so I can try and make the experience amazing for everyone!
FAQ
How many photos will we receive?
This depends on how much you love your photos after you receive them! :)
Within 2 weeks of your session, you’ll receive an online gallery with your fully retouched images (50+), from which you’ll need to choose the amount set in your Collection.
How should we dress for our family session?
Dress like yourselves and be comfy, please.
Here are some bonus tips:
Incorporate movement by picking fabrics that move and flow with you.
Natural fibers and earthy tones look amazing in most settings, as well as deep & rich colors such as emerald green, rust red, mustard yellow, burnt orange etc.
Compliment each other, don't match each other.
Avoid neons, logos and bold patterns (unless it helps tell your story).
We don’t feel very confident in front of the camera, is that ok?
Absolutely! Most people (me included) feel a bit awkward around a camera... This is especially true in the first 10 minutes and it's completely normal.
We'll let the kids lead the session, match their mood and I'm sure in no time, we'll all be having fun and capturing some lovely family time!
What’s the best time to have a session with a newborn?
If you're looking for the sleepy newborn type of photos, the session should happen before 2 weeks.
Otherwise, we can shoot a newborn session until around 5 months.
