Photos of your family within your home are so special. You really get the whole picture and a timestamp of the phase of your life you are in.
From a photographer standpoint, in-home photography using natural light can be tricky. Every home is unique and lighting can be challenging.
To be honest, I used to be afraid of these types of sessions..... now I embrace it. I thrive with these types of sessions, and below are some of the reasons why.
-We book the session during a time of day where the light is the brightest in your home. For example, we did this session at 4pm because mornings tend to be darker in their home.
-We reschedule if it's rainy and dark, which we actually did with this session.
-The start of the session is me simply walking around and seeing all of the spots within the home. I decided to take most of the photos within the bedroom and living room.
-I move clutter, and sometimes rearrange furniture if needed.
- I am mindful of distracting objects and simply hid things in backgrounds.
- We use the backyard or front yard as an option.
- We go with the flow, I never force older siblings to do something, instead we play and make it feel like a normal day at home.
- We open doors if we need to in order to get more light, which we did in this session.
Lifestyle newborn sessions are at the core of my business and my favorite. Message me if you are looking at booking a photoshoot within your home.
