For The Love Of In-Home Sessions
I love, love, love in-home sessions. From spending a couple of hours with your family to newborn sessions in the comfort of your home. They-are-just-the-best. Here is why:
The location has a meaning- Yes, of-course you can have an outdoor location that is meaningful, but most people just choose a park because they assume their home is not photogenic enough or just simply think being in an outdoor location is prettier. But, home is where you spend your time, that’s where you raise your kids. That space is special.
Your decor doesn’t matter - Most clients think that their house is not good for indoor photos. Your decor doesn’t matter. Your house is YOUR house. You live there, and your kids love it and they love their rooms, and that couch that they jump on and that special toy they play with and you need to document that. If you’re worried that the light is bad, fear not as I have a flash for that ;)
It is the comfort zone for your kids- You can never predict how your kids will behave outside whether the location is familiar or new to them. They want to explore, run around, play or they can get cold or hungry or simply just don’t want to sit and pose. In your home they are comfortable. They are surrounded by their stuff, by comfort of their toys, books, food and warmth. If they get tired there is an option to take a break and have a snack.
This was not the first time I photographed this family. Here is the fist session that I did for this family, while the younger sister was still in the belly of her beautiful mom. For this session we decided on an in-home family session as it was a cold and windy day outside. It was perfect for them. It showed their home, and highlighted the fun personalities of everyone involved. The girls played, jumped around and had fun with each other and their parents while I captured their story -this special time in their life right now.
