My favorite kind of session ever! A “Day in the Life” session allows me to capture your family in the way that I capture my own. These sessions are different than a typical lifestyle photo shoot because I truly just hang out with your family and capture the day as it unfolds. There is no need to dress up or change your routine like a traditional photo session. I come right to your home where your usual jeans and bare feet are perfect. The photos created end up telling the story of your family during your current season of life through raw, authentic, documentary images.
Due to the longer nature of these sessions, even the shyest children have a chance open up and we see those real smiles come out as they forget about my camera. There are sure to be some meltdowns too because kids are kids, and I love to get those teary eyed, red faced photos for your memory books as well.
Before your session, we will chat about what your typical day looks like and decide on some “activities” that you want to capture on film forever- it might be reading books together in a big comfy chair, snacks in the highchair that is quickly being outgrown, biking on the sidewalk out front, superhero dress up time, or just swinging on the set in the backyard. This is your chance to get beautiful images of your true daily life!
The sweet family pictured below enjoyed watching the local public bus go by, bubbles in the front yard, toys and snack time in the great room, a walk to the park, and before nap stories while I was with them. Here is just a few from their gallery.
