Lifestyle Photography and Why you’ll Love it

​

​

Essentially, lifestyle photography lands in the space between classic portraiture and full documentary photography. Truly, the definition will vary a little with each photographer. My portrait work has always dipped into lifestyle photography as I am a big fan of raw, candid, honest expressions that evoke emotion and reflect personality. Over time, I have developed a real passion for capturing authentic, real life moments. This, in its essence, is Lifestyle Photography.  Real moments, ordinary made extraordinary, most often candid, without the subject knowing the photo is being taken. There is no posing, no smiling on cue. No rules. These sessions can take place at a place that your family loves to spend time together or simply in your home. You wear something you love out of your closet. You are relaxed.You are you.

​

It’s your story. It’s the recording of little details, precious, moments that pass us by every day.  It’s very often these ordinary activities and seemingly insignificant moments that we look back on years later and say “Oh, do you remember when…?” But as time passes, children grow and the amusing nuances of their blossoming personalities fade from memory. It’s about capturing interactions, expressions, the way we live, spend our time together, laugh, love. It’s something to look back on and tell your story to future generations. A story is always better with pictures…

​

I began this journey hoping to document the simple, beautiful, ordinary moments in my own life, in addition the milestones. There are “moments” hanging on every wall in my home. I smile at them every day.

Lifestyle Photography is personal, authentic, unscripted. You write your story, it’s uniquely yours… I’ll provide the pictures.
