For each home session I do, I try to get a sense of what my clients want to capture and then simply go with the flow. I mean, going with the flow but with some direction when needed! For this shoot, we wanted to capture real-life moments but also some nice “casually-formal” portraits too. I’m not sure if “casually-formal” is a thing, but I’m gonna roll with it. I utilize the aspects of the home that I find appealing to my eye for backdrops and also ask my clients to tell me what they love about their own home. Its super helpful and gains me insight into what they may or may not realize they envision from their session with me. For example, when asked what they loved about their yard, the garden and colors in the last image featured was a favorite spot for this mom of three. In the end, you get natural, relaxed portraits that also hold a bit more meaning to those who will-in the end-cherish the pictures most.
