Family Photography Melbourne - Lifestyle session
Have you thought about booking in for a family photography session, but put it off because you were worried it was going to be too uncomfortable or too awkward?
I can completely understand that the idea of having a stranger come into your home and point a camera at you for an hour is a pretty daunting thought! I think for 99.9% of us, it's fairly standard to feel uncomfortable in front of the camera or to worry about looking or feeling awkward.
But that is why I LOVE lifestyle family photography so much - because it's not about me and my camera, it's about YOU. Your family. Your relationship with your children. The things that are the most meaningful to YOU at this stage of life right now.
All you guys need to do is be with each other, love each other, look at each other and play with one another and as much as possible, ignore the fact that I'm even there (ok.. so that might be asking a bit much - but I do promise to try and make sessions as PAIN FREE as possible!!). Certainly you don’t need to worry about trying to get your kids to look at me and smile (actually, I really do discourage that, because then we end up with fake/cheesy smiles!!). I might guide you guys occasionally into the best light or try and create situations where I can capture some really beautiful connection between you and your family - but for the most part, I just try to encourage things to happen naturally and authentically.
If you’re considering booking your own in home family photography session, I would really encourage you to have a think about what parts of your families lives right now you never want to forget. What do your kids love to do the most when they are with you ? What are your kids personality traits that you treasure the most ? Or even, what are their traits that drive you crazy 99.9% of the time, but you know you still kind of want to remember !? I'm not here to capture picture perfect - I’m here to capture your real life!
