Lifestyle Photography Chapters

I love taking pictures. But even more than that, I love capturing stories! It is this quest to preserve the story photographically that led to my focus in lifestyle or documentary style photos, and while I still enjoy taking and viewing a great posed portrait, I get most excited about capturing life as it happens.

When you want to get pictures of your kids in their school play, giving it their all in the game they love, or the family just having fun, it doesn’t have to just be the quick, grainy shot you grab with your cell phone from the afar. With just a hint of forethought and planning you can have beautiful shots of these moments and the emotions that come with them hanging on your wall and preserved in your family history.

A few of our favorite things about lifestyle photography:

No stiff poses – smiles, laughter, emotions are captured naturally as the action occurs, and the photos truly show life as you remember it.
Ability to capture the everyday joys – whether it’s the joy of reading a book or watching your kids talk about life over a popsicle, lifestyle sessions can preserve it.
Discovery of the unexpected – lifestyle photos often capture small details we may overlook when we’re in the thick of the day-to-day.

As I continue on my journey to help the world communicate, I’d love to help you capture your stories through beautiful photographs. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a lifestyle photo is worth an entire chapter.
