Lifestyle Family Portraiture; What is it?


Hi Guys,

            By now you have probably seen me advertise Lifestyle Family Portrait Sessions. Now, what exactly do I mean by a Lifestyle Family Portrait Session? Lifestyle Family Portraiture is not a posed photo session where you put on a favorite Christmas sweater or turtleneck, slap on a Santa hat, and pose next to the fireplace for a group shot. Wikipedia defines lifestyle photography as “A style of portrait/people photography which aims to capture and document real-life events, situations, or milestones, in an artistic manner or art of the everyday.” This is not your traditional posed shot.
            Lifestyle Portraits are something that you normally do on a regular basis that is captured through the lens. Mom, do you like to bake cookies with your children? I can photograph that in a photojournalism type style. Dad, do you like throwing the football outside in the backyard with your sons or shoot baskets with your daughters? Do you like to go to a particular restaurant with your family? A bookstore? A coffee shop? How about a nice relaxing day at home with your family? These are activities that you normally do, or as the definition says “...art of the everyday.”
           This is something completely different than a posed photograph. In a posed photograph, you get the smiles of your family. I'm sure your kids have beautiful smiles, but those smiles are not as genuine when your little ones are playing with their favorite toy or playing with their parents. It is not just the smile on your kids faces, but the enjoyment that comes across your spouses, or even yours. I can do this for you. I am offering 20% off of every Lifestyle Portrait Session. Get in touch with me today.
