Lifestyle Sessions

Maternity, newborn, and high school senior sessions are all important milestones that deserve a record of that time but what often gets overlooked is documenting the beauty in our everyday lives as families. That is why I strongly recommend family lifestyle sessions...   

What is a “lifestyle” session?

It is not a perfectly posed child with an artificial smile.

I don’t believe in forcing kids to fit a mold. I want to capture them as they are in their everyday lives. I love photographing kids in their homes as they play and giggle. Wrapped in a towel snuggled in dad’s arms after a dip in the lake. Brothers roughhousing with their parents. Messy feedings. Cuddles as a new mom soothes her baby’s cries.

This is real life.

I believe it is very important to capture the ordinary events in childhood since those moments are so fleeting. As you might imagine I can not capture the characteristics of your lives in an hour, lifestyle family sessions are an event. I usually shoot between 3-6 hours so that I have the opportunity to fully document the nature of your lives. If desired, a small portion of the session can be set aside for portraits. These sessions take place in and around your home and are best with children ages eleven and under (they can be adjusted for any ages and families). This type of session is ideal for family vacations, reunions, and holiday gatherings.

Lifestyle sessions begin at $650.00
