Many articles have already been written about what lifestyle photography is, but I noticed that despite talking about it quite often on my pages, I still get questions like: "Do you have baskets, clothes, and backgrounds for newborn sessions?" or "Do you have a studio?"
I see that the topic of lifestyle photos remains new to many people.
Lifestyle sessions are unposed sessions
These are fleeting moments that I try to capture
So, what is this photography - lifestyle photography? ;) The main elements and characteristics are NATURALNESS, EMOTIONS, and EVERYDAY LIFE.
That's why we do this type of session at home or outdoors.
There's no place for a studio in them.
Why?
Because, although studio photos are beautiful, and there are certainly many supporters of them, they are posed photos based on the use of artificial lights and decorations.
And that's okay, you can definitely use such an offer.
However, I deal with something completely different.
Lifestyle sessions are about naturalness, play, movement, spontaneity
Personally, I love natural photos, for example from everyday play with a child.
Lifestyle photography focuses on natural light - zero flash glare, this helps capture truly realistic situations from your life, without distracting children's attention with a flash.
These are not photos where everyone MUST look at the camera
On the contrary - there's a lot of spontaneity
I care that children feel good and have nice memories of this time
I often come up with games so children don't get bored
Good fun best brings out a smile
If you're interested in how to prepare children for a photo session, you'll find the answer-->> here
Family photos will be time spent together, where I won't constantly ask you to stay still and smile at the camera on command.
Newborn photos won't last several hours, and we won't dress them in all those hats or wrap them in blankets.
Instead, we'll show how you hold that little one in your arms, how you look when they sleep in their crib, and how, as proud parents, you cuddle on your couch.
Why such a vision?
Because personally, I know that when I look at my photos from a posed session, even though the photos are beautiful, they don't evoke such strong emotions and memories as those that someone even took with a phone, but secretly and caught a genuine smile, or some great situation that happened in my life.
I want you to have a similar experience when looking at the photos I take for you.
Candid shots
Of course, this doesn't mean we can't take frames typically "for the frame."
If children feel like it and look into the lens themselves, then with pleasure!
It's more about not setting rigid rules and not requiring perfection
So invite me to your home, and I'll capture in a few frames beautiful moments of your everyday life, because we definitely too often don't appreciate it.
