Lifestyle photography sessions are incredibly popular right now, especially with so many people staying at home. If you like documentary style family photography, or are reluctant to visit a studio, lifestyle sessions could be the perfect option for you.

What Is Lifestyle Photography?

Lifestyle photography sessions involve me coming to you, and capturing precious memories of your family against the backdrop of your home. These are very relaxed sessions and are suitable for newborn, baby, family or maternity photos – in fact, lifestyle sessions can be completely tailored to you!

Generally, lifestyle photography is very natural, so I’ll take photos of your family as you move around your home and interact with each other. These “documentary style” photos give a true snapshot of your lives as there are no posed pictures or awkward smiles, just natural photography that reflects your family members’ personalities.

What To Expect From A Photoshoot At Home

On the day of your lifestyle photography session, my assistant and I will arrive at your home and get to know your family. We start the sessions in a very relaxed way to put everyone at ease – after all, it’s not every day you have a photographer in your house! Together, we’ll identify areas to take photos in, whether this is a nursery, living room or even your garden. Lighting plays a key role in any photography shoot, so where possible, I try to get lots of light and airy images with plenty of natural sunlight.

I encourage younger members of the family to be involved in the process, whether that’s deciding which toys they’d like to include in a photo, or choosing a room to be photographed in. These will be precious memories of a moment in time, particularly if you move house at some point in the future.

Although lifestyle sessions don’t usually involve any posing, if you have a newborn, I will bring along a beanbag and some props, so you get the best of both worlds – lifestyle photos as a family, and precious closeups of your newborn too.
