I might be a little biased, because my life is basically one giant lifestyle session. 😂 I love being able to pull out my camera any time to take a quality picture of these cute, messy moments.
As candid as these seem to be, don't be fooled- lifestyle sessions can be planned to a T!
I have so many clients who tell me they don't want posed, fake-smile photos- if that describes you, then these are the perfect sessions for you!
Usually I have plenty of people wanting lifestyle sessions, but they don't know that's what they want! Here are some ideas for unique sessions that qualify as "lifestyle"... The options are endless but hopefully this gets the gears turning for you!
•At the Park During a session, when kids just won't smile, I always hear, "they would smile if we were at the park!" So, take them to the park! Don't underestimate how cute a picture on the slide, swings, or monkey bars can be.
•Baking A cute at-home session is the family baking together! Pull out the cute bowls, put on some aprons, and don't be afraid to get messy.
•Camping Fishing, playing in the mud, and roasting smores. Perfect way to remember your family traditions, just a little more dolled up.
•Gardening Bright colored flowers and hand made pots make perfect props for pictures! (Say that ten times fast!)
•Arts & Crafts Like the painting picture above, capturing your kids creating something is even more fun than seeing the finished product.
•Story Time One of my personal favorites! Such a sweet moment to capture parents reading to their kids, and a perfect photo to hang on the wall in their room.
•First Foods It sounds silly, but when I first started giving our little boy food, I was constantly snapping pictures of his cute, messy face.
•Favorite Toys Is there a toy your child just won't give up? Something they really love to do? Capture it! (That way, when the toy inevitably falls apart in the washer someday, you still have pictures to look back on.)
Like I said, the possibilities are endless, but the main point of a lifestyle session is to capture your family in the most natural way possible. Get creative, think of something uniquely for your family, and give me a call! You won't regret it. :)
