Lifestyle photography is all about capturing real-life moments in a natural and artistic way. It's about portraying people in everyday situations, events, or milestones, showcasing the authenticity and beauty of their lives. I'll come to your home and capture precious images, whether it's you cradling your baby, feeding them, or singing to your little one.


HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO STAND?

Lifestyle images capture the essence of naturally occurring events, and many of your photos will reflect that spontaneity. While I aim for genuine moments, I may guide you to locations with flattering lighting and backgrounds. I might also offer prompts like "look down at your sweet baby" or "let your little one wrap their fingers around your thumb." The aim is to ensure you feel comfortable and confident, never awkward or unsure of what to do next.

YOU DON'T BRING PROPS OR LIGHTING?

No, I don't use props or lighting. I utilize the natural light in your home. I'll position you to capture soft, flattering natural light.

Your baby will wear clothes you already have, I suggest a neutral onesie. You can swaddle your baby or wrap them in a special blanket. However, in a posed newborn session, photographers typically supply outfits for babies and may swaddle, wrap, and pose them. Posed newborn sessions involve more directed posing and styling to create carefully composed images.
