Lifestyle Family Sessions

Why do I call them "lifestyle" family sessions? You've likely heard of the term "lifestyle newborn" sessions, this in the same concept across all of my family sessions. Lifestyle sessions to me are guided moments and prompts for movement instead of posed.

Let's define it....

Lifestyle means I want to capture you in the moment with gentle prompts such as where to stand or sit, where to place your hands, looking at each other or looking towards the camera. The goal is to keep the session flowing but with a relaxed and natural feel. We will go through plenty of cues for kids to interact in the session and ensure we capture all of the family combinations too (mom with kids, dad with kids, kids only, parents only, individuals, duos and more.)

What should we wear?

Color and texture combinations are very important for family sessions. Not only to ensure you wont blend into the scenery wearing similar colors as your background but also to separate the subjects within images. You'll hear me talk about complimentary colors and textures to consider for your session. Earthy tones are always a 10/10 recommendation, olive greens, mustards, tans, cream colors, rust, deep blues. I am not afraid of color in photos, however we want to be sure we aren't overbearing with bright tones. I do recommend avoiding neon colors, attire with large logos, large florals or print on them. Always be sure you are comfortable and confident in your outfit selection, we want you feeling fantastic on the day of your session. Sending me photos of outfit combinations is HIGHLY preferred, it helps me not only build a vision for your session but also make any recommendations should something blend too closely or need a swap.
