How to prepare for your in home lifestyle session

In home photos are so special and really freeze a moment in time of what this period looked like in your house and for your family.  These stages of our life seem to go so quickly when we look back on them, especially during the newborn phase.  We may miss all of those ordinary but beautiful pieces that make up our life during these stages. The in home session aims to capture those pieces as they are so you can hold on to this precious period of your life.  That being said, there are a few things you can do to prepare for our time together that will ensure we make the best photographs possible.  

• Keeping the house a little warmer for the new babes will ensure that they are comfortable and are in good spirits for their session.

• Making sure babes are fed and changed prior to the session will help the session go smoother.

• If you have a toddler or other older kiddos, see if you can coordinate their nap time and snack time before the session. Keep non messy snacks and favorite toys close by as they will be very useful during the session.

• Tidying up any non permanent or distracting items in the areas of the house we will be in will save time during the session.

• Wearing clothing that makes you and your family feel comfortable, as this will reflect in the photos.

• Being a mom of two, I know things do not go exactly to plan and the list above may not be possible. It is okay, we have 2-3 hours together and the session will be baby led, so please don’t worry if things do not go smoothly. We will take our time and get the pictures!

I look forward to working with you and your family to preserve these precious memories!
