Nothing is sweeter than being home for the holidays

Everyone wants the perfect family photo for their Christmas card Instagram post. But for many of us with young children, a mini session, at a new location, in fancy clothes, does not provide us with the happiest of toddlers. Often times you are forced to choose whichever 10 minute time slot is still available, regardless of how that time works into your child’s daily schedule. While these types of sessions can be great for much older children who know how to stand and smile, it’s hardly ideal for children 5 and under!

This is why my work as a lifestyle photographer is so meaningful to me. I thrive on providing stunning photos in a client’s home, showcasing true, loving moments on the family couch, at the breakfast table, playing on Mom & Dad’s bed, etc. I ask myself, ‘what types of photos will be cherished by this toddler when he’s in his 40s?’ What images and locations can I capture that will bring a feeling of nostalgia to this child and make him think ‘this’ represents my childhood. What a honor to create that 😍

My in-home lifestyle sessions take place between the hours of 10 am - 2 pm. This ensures adequate lighting in your home, but more importantly, mid-mornings or right after nap time work best for my young clients. Lifestyle sessions are focused on showing your true, loving selves, in the home that built your family. Clients sometimes stress about their home not being Pinterest-perfect, but in order to obtain stunning images, all we need is a window and a blank wall! Incorporating real moments such as cuddling on the couch or running in the backyard will create the lasting images that your children will cherish decades from now. What better time to have a in-home session than when your home is festively decorated for the holidays ♥️
