What is Lifestyle Photography and Why Will I love it?

When the Big Boys Come to Visit

Lifestyle photography is a very organic form of image capturing.  Its aim is to show real people in real places.  Whether that be in your home, the hospital in the case of fresh 48 or birth shoots or on location.  If you are a fan of my work, than there is a good chance you will like lifestyle!  I follow many of the same concepts, but usually on location.

I'm sure you are thinking, why on earth would I want photographs of things that happen everyday, in our home even.  Its pretty boring right?  Thats where you are wrong! Our everydays are more amazing than you think!  Especially when it comes to the likes of newborns and children.

Bubbles

We are usually so caught up in the rush of living (or making a living) everyday, that we often miss the small stuff.  

When we have a newborn at home, everything can become a blur of sleeplessness, nappies and a beautiful (but sometimes loud) bundle of joy.  In our haze, sometimes we glance over the little things, which is more than understandable!  But when we have those little moments, when it is quiet and you are wrapped in your little, beautiful bubble, and the world feels like it a million miles away, wouldn't you like to look back on that?  Those times when you are over the moon that you finally got that swaddle to hold, or you got that burp that was keeping your little one from resting, or those teeny tiny nappies that don't stay tiny long enough.  Those tiny things that we forget.  Even those little things that don't seem all that fun at the time make amazing memories!  The little face he pulls when he is about to burp, or the squirmy eyes she gets when she is about the throw a tantrum.  All of these moments are important, and amazing.

And then they are no longer babies, they are toddlers, or even kids.  Kids are funny.  Kids smile whenever they feel, or frown as the case may be.  Kids don't hold back, they run, jump, swing, climb and most importantly, they don't know there is 'someone they are supposed to be', they are who they are.  Wouldn't you love to capture that and cherish it for years to come?

In the rush of the school drop off, Doctors appointments, dance classes, sports training, homework wheel, take some time to celebrate that your family and what they love!

Our little worlds are just that, our own.  No one knows them like you, and you should cherish and celebrate the little things that make them!
