what makes a great lifestyle session?
As a lifestyle photographer, I am here to capture life's many stages + milestones for you! If you've decided to book a lifestyle session with me, you may be wondering, "What makes a great lifestyle session?"
3 tips for a great lifestyle session
Tip # 1 - Don't sweat it
I don't know about you, but I have a tendencey to be an over-analyzer + over-preparer, especially when it comes to having my photos taken. I like to think through every aspect of it - what it will feel like, what poses we should do, + what to wear. The good news is that you don't have to sweat it when working with me! The best lifestyle sessions are the ones that happen with a natural + organic feel. When it comes to poses + the process, I have got your back. We will begin with loose poses to get you + your loved ones comfortable in front of the camera + flow into enjoying moments together, forgetting the camera is even there. I am a firm believer that natural, genuine emotive photos are the most meaningful. When it comes to outfits, I have got you covered with my pre-session guide + photo inspiration that I am happy to share with you.
Tip #2 - Be You
One of the most common mistakes when it comes to lifestyle session preparation is the belief that the best session is one that is carefully curated, but fails to capture you + your family being themselves. While wearing a beautiful outfit + gettting your hair + makeup done can feel great, make sure that you are choosing options that convey who you are. Photos are timeless treasures meant to tell our story, not the story of someone else. Make sure that your choices set you up for success in making your family feel the most comfortable + portrays them as they are!
Tip #3 - Embrace Connection
As I mentioned earlier, I will help you begin with loose poses with the intention of working towards emotive photography moments captured. In order to seamlessly blossom into this, it is important that you + your family value the time that you have with one another + enjoy being together in this time. Let's be honest, we don't always enter into a session stress free + in the best mood with everyone, however, in our time, the goal is to take a deep breathe, slow down, + focus on the love + genuine enjoyment that you have for the people you are capturing moments with. At the end of the day, love is one of the most powerful emotions to capture.
