It is a more relaxed session, with no posed images, all images are of the family simply interacting in either a storytelling atmosphere or loving interactions. Lifestyle sessions require less editing time and therefore offer more images. Lifestyle is capturing real-life situations, playtime, fun hugs, and not a lot of eye contact with the camera.

 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFESTYLE AND PORTRAIT SESSIONS?

Lifestyle images are taken in a more relaxed and unposed setting. It is different from a portrait session. Many people ask, “Why is it different and why is the price or amount of images not the same.” Well, first of all, lifestyle sessions are more of a documentary of you and your loved one or family. The photographer’s job is to capture the clients in a more candid everyday interaction without the stress of worrying about the having to worry about how to pose. The parents are usually less stressed about whether their little one is looking at the camera and smiling. I would tell the clients to tell the children that the photographer is going to take pictures of them on a walk or in the house playing. Lifestyle images capture scenes and emotions that they experience on a typical day. This session is for my client who wants a playful session where I photograph their natural interactions, personalities, and love for one another. A lifestyle session is less eye contact with the camera, less formal, and requires less editing time for the photographer. In return, the client receives more images in their gallery.

A family portrait session is more formal. This session includes posed images. I include images of the family as a whole, the parents (adults) together, the children together, the children individually, and each child with one or both parents (adults). Portrait sessions capture formally posed images where everyone has eye contact with the camera and I pray that all kiddos are smiling at the same time. This session focuses on the client's pose, smile, or facial expression. This requires more editing of hair, skin, and the occasional face swap. Yes, the little ones make it interesting. 

All images are carefully edited individually. No filters or presets added, this means that 

skin tones, clothing, and surroundings are true in color. 

*Black and white images are provided upon request. 

*Package fee is due in full at the time of the session.
