3 reasons i recommend an in-home session
In-home lifestyle sessions are one of my favorite ways to photograph people in an authentic and genuine way. Whether you’re a family, a couple, or even an individual, in-home photo sessions are a great way to help you feel relaxed, laid-back, and most like yourself. The photos incorporate pieces of your home to remember forever and, while you don’t have to have pets to do an in-home session, it’s a great way to allow your pets to be in your photos while remaining in the comfort of home. Also, kids love it, because it allows them to just relax and be themselves during the photo session, instead of feeling forced to sit still or smile at the camera.
Here’s why I recommend an in-home, lifestyle session for your photos.
When you take photos in your home, you get to feel most like yourself.
You can just relax and enjoy the coziness of your space. We’ll pick a couple of activities for you (and your family/pets/partner if applicable!) to do while we’re taking photos that are a part of your typical routine and allow you to focus on the activity you are doing and not having your photo taken. This helps you to feel more at ease and more like yourself.
If you have pets or kids, you know that they can struggle sometimes with having photos taken. It can be hard to stay in one place, smile at the camera, and force a pose. I love being able to use your daily routines and hobbies to make having your photos taken fun and a way to bond as a family. You can cuddle your pets on the couch or play with them! You and your kiddos can bake together, read a book, have a tickle fight, run in the backyard, or whatever it is you like to do together as a family!
2. In-home photos allow you to remember this season of life.
They are a great way to document this season of your life and all the things you love right now. Whether it’s your blankets and decorations, the home you live in right now, your typical hobbies or routines, or your pets, these things aren’t always permanent, and one day, you’ll want to remember this season. In-home sessions are a perfect way to document what life looks like for you right now.
I recommend including in your session some things that stand out to you about this season. It could be the games you play with your kids, the walk you take every day with your dog, or the blanket you cuddle up with for every movie night.
3. In-home photos are unique to who you are.
If you get tired of the same old, same old, these could be a great option for you. Your photos will change up every time you have them done as you change up your surroundings. Each session is unique to you and your space, ensuring that your photos are distinctive and personal. If you’re tired of generic settings and crave something that truly reflects your personality and lifestyle, an in-home session might just be perfect for you.
