What is lifestyle photography?
Picture a perfectly posed family, all looking at the camera and saying "cheeeese". Now scrap that image because that is exactly what lifestyle photography is not. For me, lifestyle photography is capturing those perfectly imperfect moments, those natural moments of connection, embracing the chaos and overall creating a gallery of images that give you all the feels. I will give some direction (don't panic), I use prompts and games to draw out those natural emotions whilst placing you in the best lighting of a gorgeous location. All my sessions take place at golden hour, I know this can be late for little ones but it's so worth it and how I achieve the look you'll see in my portfolio. If you find that time of day tricky then I would suggest going for a spring or autumn session when the sunset is earlier on in the day.
Because each family is different, so is each session. Communication is super important so upon booking in I send over a family questionnaire for you to fill in. This helps me learn more about your family and get prepared for your shoot. I also send over a style guide to help you plan your outfits as one of the most common questions I get is "what should we wear?".
As a mother myself I totally understand the big emotions our little ones can have and the patience we need to offer them so please don't worry; I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve to keep them happy during a photoshoot. Let me help tell your story and bottle up those precious family moments forever.
