The weather is getting colder and it's the perfect time for lifestyle sessions! What is a lifestyle session? It can be tailored to just about anything, but in a general sense, it is having a photographer come into your home and photographing you doing life. Some lifestyle photographers come to your home for hours and just play fly on the wall all day. They photograph you and your kids going about your normal routine. Others come in and do a bit more posed of a session, but still capture your family doing the things you love to do together.
The idea of lifestyle sessions are to get those more relaxed, intimate moments. No worrying about a formal session, just your family enjoying time together. Sure, it might be a little strange at first to have this person with a camera in your house, but soon you'd forget about them as you did your activities. I used to be a mother's helper one summer for a family and when I started, school was not quite over for them. So some examples of what I might have photographed if I was doing a lifestyle session would be:
I'll be honest and say that I've never shot a lifestyle session before, but they are quickly growing in appeal to me. Most of my favorite photographs that I've taken are action shots. Images of the person doing something. Running, spinning, laughing, hugging, etc. Formal portraits are beautiful and we need them for our walls, but there is something special about the more candid photos and especially ones with interaction between people. Have you ever had a lifestyle session done? What was your experience? If you've never done one, but maybe you're hearing about it, what do you think? Is it cool or is it weird? I hope to start doing them this winter!
