Lately I've talked a lot about how "In Home" sessions are dear to my heart. I thought I would talk a little bit today about what In Home sessions or Lifestyle sessions are and why I feel they are so important.
In Home sessions are pretty self explanatory. They are photography sessions held in your home. Simple. The root of why they are so vital is a little deeper though. For me there are so many moments in our daily life that are beacons of light. Small and tender moments that make us think to ourselves, "I can't forget this." It could be making pancakes as a family on Saturday morning, it could be a the way the morning light in your bedroom falls on your partners hair, it could be the moment your kid comes running down the hall naked after a bath--so many small moments that we want to hold on to. To me this is where an In Home session comes in. I want to come and capture your life just the way it is. I want to preserve your best moments. It doesn't matter if it's family, couples, or maybe you and your cats (that would be awesome!) But I want it to be real. Genuine. And You.
You may ask then what is the difference between an In Home Session and a Lifestyle Session? To me the root is essentially the same. The only difference is in a Lifestyle Session we're out an about! I love In Home Sessions but I also love the outdoors! Lifestyle Sessions, to me, are still genuine and authentic. They may be you and your partner going to your favorite coffee spot, they may be the kids doing something special, they may be your favorite walk. Still personal and still something meaningful but just out of the home.
We all want to look at our photos for years to come. You are hiring a photographer to be an artist. So do something different. Do something personal. Go somewhere special and unique. And let me capture those moments in the most perfect way.
