A lifestyle family photo shoot is the perfect way to capture precious images of your family that will last a lifetime. However, getting the family together for a photo shoot isn’t always an easy task. You want to make the most of your time with a photographer and more importantly – get great photos! That’s why I recommend families host lifestyle sessions at their home.

There are many reasons why your home is the best place for family photos. Here are the top 8 reasons I tell my clients:
- It’s Convenient
First things first: your home is convenient – and convenience is key. It’s simple for kids because you don’t need to travel anywhere, saving you time.
Plus, there are no time constraints! You can shoot at any hour of the day. This is crucial with fussy newborns or new (tired) parents. When you shoot outside, you have to cater to the sun and natural lighting. Inside your home, I can cater to my clients and their needs.
- The Vibe is Easygoing & Fun
Your home is your sanctuary. It presents an easygoing and relaxing atmosphere that resonates in photos. Everyone is at ease in a space they know so well.
Better yet? It’s fun! I’ve found that clients’ homes bring out the positivity in people – especially in children. That makes it easy to capture the excitement of seeing your family in their natural element.
- Comfortable Equals Confident
When you feel good, you look good – right? I’ve found that my clients look the most confident in their homes. Why? Because they’re comfortable!
Parents can feel uncertain about how to pose with kids. Whereas sitting comfortably on their couch or in bed and cuddling comes naturally to them, thus creating magical photos – and moments!
- Your Home = Your Story
What better way to immortalize your life than to capture your story in photos? That means including your home because it’s the backdrop to so many milestones in life.
Imagine it this way: Where did your baby take his first steps? Home. Where does your daughter play her piano? Home. Where do mom and dad cuddle while raising an amazing family? You know it: YOUR HOME!
- Your Props Have Meaning
Props are a fundamental component of any photo shoot. Thankfully, your home is abundant with the best props possible like chairs, beds, your balcony, etc. – but also so much more.
When you look back at photos you recognize the little things like that old chair you grandfather sat in, your favorite mug, the carpet you used to play on. This is also an important point for young children. Kids have their toys at home and love showing off their favorite possessions (trust me).
- Quality Family Time
An unexpected reason my clients love shooting at home is for the quality family time it creates. A lifestyle family photo shoot is 1 – 2 hours of nothing but playing around, cuddles, and laughs. Normally something that families don’t make time for!
Deciding to invest in a family photo shoot doesn’t just provide images that you can reflect on forever, but it helps you carve out quality family time in your own home.
- People ❤ Genuine Photos
A lifestyle family session is designed to express your family just the way it is. People cherish genuine and “real” photos and lifestyle photography helps tell your unique story, what your family is really all about: kisses, hugs, laughs, and genuine smiles!
- Your Home is Perfectly Imperfect
No matter what your “home” is, I can promise you it’s perfect. Do not worry about having an apartment worthy of a magazine feature. It’s the people that matter in these photos.
Lifestyle family photo shoots may be shot in your home, but it’s your connection, the fun you have together, and the things you do that make the best photos. And that’s priceless!
Some Closing Thoughts…
There is one main goal in family lifestyle photography: to capture everyday moments that you wish you could hold on to forever.
The outcome creates unpredictable and real photos with meaning! These are the photos you will cherish for generations to come as you share the beautiful story of your family.
