Based in the suburbs of Chicago, we are a husband and wife photography team specializing in fine art wedding photography.
Just because it is the middle of winter in Chicago, doesn’t mean its not a great time of year to take professional photos of your family. Lifestyle photography is a style of photography which aims to capture and document real-life events, situations, or milestones in an artistic manner. Below are 5 reasons to consider capturing your everyday family life in such this artistic manner.
5. It’s all about those simple things. It’s those everyday moments that make you smile, the things you want to remember. A messy face at the table eating a cupcake, older siblings reading stories with their little bother or sisters, a toddler sitting in a pile of their favorite stuffed animals. Those are the everyday memories that should be cherished.
4. Location. Location. Location. Why stress about which local park or location to have your next session? Your home can be a perfect location for your next family photography session. Home is where so many childhood milestones and memories are made, why not let the dining room, kitchen, or playroom provide the perfect backdrop to showcase your family.
3. Pets! As much as they may shed or love to jump on the couch, don’t forget those four-legged furballs deserve to be part of the picture too. After all they are part of the family! Right?
2. Capture what they love. Is it a favorite princess dress that has been worn every day this week? Buzz Lightyear who needs to sit at the table at meal time? Or in the case of my oldest daughter a 3 foot tall stuffed Shrek she carried EVERYWHERE when she was 3, every child has their favorites. Capture them just being kids, and seeing the happiness receieved from their favorite toys.
1. Relaxed & Silly! It is easy for children to be comfortable, relaxed, and sometimes a little more free to be SILLY in thier own home.
