Lifestyle Family Photography that Reflects Your Vision

Capturing a Family’s Story

One of the first things I ask my clients is “what is your vision for your session?” Whether for family portraits or newborn photos, every mom seems to have a dream of what she would like them to be! I want to bring that dream into reality. Simultaneously, I seek to write your family’s story! It is my goal to turn the little details of who you are into art through a combination of beautiful light, connection, and photographic artistry.

A few weeks ago I had a mom schedule her family photo session with a very clear vision in mind. She loves trees and rivers - she didn’t want a field or a pretty pathway, but something rustic. She wanted to capture her three kiddos barefoot with little feet covered with mud. She wanted them to play and to simply be immersed in a setting that reflected who they are as a family.

Why is Location Important for Your Lifestyle Family Photo Session?

Through some research and exploration, we found the perfect spot. The light was shining through the trees and a little stream was nearby. While her daughters picked flowers, her son cuddle in her arms. Many giggles and monster tickles from dad were had. Singing favorite songs brought about amazing smiles. Then the culmination of their session was spent in the middle of the stream as our toes were in the squishy mud! This family’s vision came to life and it was beautiful.

So, what is your vision for your perfect photography sessions? Is it running through a field? Jumping in a lake? Or is it simpler like making pancakes together on a lazy morning? Whatever it may be, with a combination of beautiful light, connection, and a bit of artistry, we can make your dream a reality! In the end, you will receive a story of images printed in photographs, on a canvas or a gorgeous photo book. For this is “memory art”.
