Connection Over Perfection

---

What Is Lifestyle Photography Anyway?

If I could sum it up simply, I would say that it is connection over perfection, because where there is perfection, there is no story to tell.

But if that isn't enough words, keep reading. 

Lifestyle photography to me, is photography that breaks a lot of the "traditional" photography rules. Some of us are hardwired to stare straight at the camera and smile when someone is pointing a camera in our face. 

For most of your session with me, I'm going to tell you not to look at me. I want you to look at each other, touch each other, laugh with each other & play. I will guide you & occasionally position you the way I want you and ask you to look at me for a few photos, but for the most part I'm giving you moving prompts or telling you to whisper silly stuff in each other's ear. 

We're playing games with the kids to keep them involved & we're working hard to create photos that tell a story. 

You do not need to worry about how your kids are behaving. I'm a mother of 4- I understand how kids work and I don't have unrealistic expectations of them during your session. Their attention spans are short, so my sessions move quickly from one activity to another, and they are allowed to break free and run around while we focus on other things.

My approach to your session is based on the following goals.

1. create & capture genuine connections

2. facilitate an experience that is memorable

3. deliver photos that your family will cherish for a lifetime

4. exceed all of your expectations
