When the weather cools in the Midwest and the leaves have already fallen, having an in-home lifestyle photo session is a great idea. I have been photographing this wonderful North Oaks family since mom was pregnant with the youngest. I was going to say baby but she's not a baby anymore! Where does the time go? It's been such a pleasure watching these kiddos grow. We always have the most fun and lately we've kept most of their photo sessions right at their home, whether we were jumping through sprinklers or having a snow fight we have done it all. This time we really just focused on hanging out at home. Sometimes these can be the best kind of sessions because it's so casual and doesn't feel like a photo session at all; which a lot of kids can dread. My biggest suggestion when scheduling your own in-home lifestyle session is to plan for at least 3 activities, it could be simple like playing a game or reading a book or it can be a full out making pancakes or cookies at your photo session. Here are a few of my favorites from this North Oaks, Minnesota in-home lifestyle photo session. As you will see we didn't just take pictures inside the house. We also put on our coats and had some fun playing outside. This is a great time to document what your children are into. It could be throwing a football around or kicking a soccer ball. We also took turns jumping off the swing. These are always super fun with older kids but the images don't always turn out because you never know how much air you're going to get! In any event let's get to the good stuff and show you some of my favorite images taken from this day.
Today at the end of this post I'm sharing with you a photographer in Australia who is sharing photos from her property that she uses as a photo location. I wish I could do that!
As mentioned earlier in this post I wanted to share with you a Melbourne family photographer who is sharing photos of her property which she uses as a photo location for her clients. I might just be a little envious, especially since I've been dying to move to Australia for like EVER!
