AT HOME

Should you have your family photography at home? What sort of images should you expect? Are you considering doing this, and wondering if it’s the right option for you?

Let me tell you a bit about why a photography session at home is the perfect way to create a relaxed set of images that capture your family just as you are.

When you book a family photography session, one of the main decisions is where to have your shoot. Many people like to go out on location. If you are considering this, then I have a useful blog post with some location ideas that you can read here.

But a lot of families choose to stay at home, and I wanted to explain why this can be a really great idea. Having your family photo session at your home can be a wonderful plan for all sorts of reasons.

If you have very small children or babies, then they are always going to feel more comfortable at home.

It’s always really amazing to photograph babies and toddlers in their own space, exploring their toys, in their own rooms. There is no extra stress for you as parents. No need to pack up an enormous bag ready for the photography session outing! You have everything you need within arms reach already.

Plus it really doesn’t matter what the weather is doing on the day. If we can use your garden as well then this is always a bonus, but the main focus will be the indoor spaces.

It really doesn’t matter what your home looks like inside, so please don’t worry about this. There is absolutely no need to have a picture perfect house. If you have windows, then you have amazing light, it’s that simple. I will find the best light and use it to create some beautiful images of you all.

Most importantly, you get images of your family in familiar spaces, doing the things that you all normally do. All those every day moments that you usually hardly notice. The little cuddles on the sofa, the tickles in the playroom, bouncing around the garden with each other. These times in our lives are so fleeting. The images of my own family that are most precious to me, are the ones that evoke those everyday times at home. So make the most of this and photograph it all while it is still taking place.
