What is Lifestyle Photography?

The goal of lifestyle photography is to naturally capture portraits of people or families, depicting situations, real-life events, or milestones in an artistic manner. The primary goal is to tell a story or capture a feeling or moment in one's life.

Capturing the essence of the moment

In every session, I aim to capture my subjects' essence naturally and comfortably. I want to create portraits that capture the sparkle in a child's eye, the love and connection of a family, and a teenager's moody nature. I want your images to tell your story through emotion and connection.

A Slice of Life

Lifestyle sessions are about telling a family's story and capturing unique connections in their own environment. Lifestyle portrait sessions usually take place in the comfort of the home or a meaningful location. Every session is built around the client. The style of the clothing to the site is determined by the personality and favorite activities.  

Directing not posing

Even though lifestyle photography is about telling a story and documenting the family in a natural environment, lighting and posing still play a huge factor. Lifestyle photography is "posed" in an informal way. I will give some prompts and then document the natural responses and candid moments that follow. The sessions typically feel more like a playdate than a traditional portrait session. This provides an opportunity to capture the real expressions full of joy and laughter.

I enjoy creating a wonderful experience for my clients, capturing "heart smile" moments where everyone feels relaxed. Let's capture beautiful memories together.
