As for me and my house

Lifestyle Mini Session | Families | newborn | maternity | Pets | just you

Celebrate the beauty of everyday moments with a relaxed, in-home lifestyle session designed to capture your family as you are right now. This session isn’t about perfect poses or picture-perfect homes — it’s about preserving the love, connection, and little details that make your life uniquely yours.

Whether you’re cuddling with your newborn, playing a game with your kids, or enjoying a quiet moment together, this session focuses on the authentic, heartfelt moments shared in the spaces you know best: your own home.

What to Expect

A Real-Life Snapshot of Your World
Lifestyle sessions are about capturing your everyday life in a natural, meaningful way. We’ll photograph you in the spaces where your family spends the most time — the living room where toys are scattered, the kitchen where you make breakfast. These are the moments you’ll cherish when you look back at these photos.

Expect minimal posing and no need for extra props. I’ll guide you through simple activities to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and ensure we capture real, joyful interactions. Think reading a story with your little ones, making pancakes, or sharing a cosy moment on the couch.

Photos Taken Inside Your Home
Your home tells your story, so we’ll use your personal spaces to capture your family’s unique vibe. When I arrive, I’ll take a quick look around to find the best lighting and get a feel for who you are.

What Will We Do During the Session?
Lifestyle sessions aren’t about everyone sitting perfectly still and smiling at the camera. They’re about capturing your family’s natural rhythm and real moments of connection.

We’ll keep things relaxed, focusing on activities that feel meaningful to you, which might look like:

  • Reading books

  • Playing board games

  • Baking or cooking

  • Snuggling and playing with your pets

  • Hanging out and working in your garden

  • Newborn snuggles and feedings

Think about what makes your family special, and we’ll incorporate those moments into your session.

How to Prepare for Your Session

Do You Need to Clean the House?
No! Lifestyle sessions are about capturing real life, so your home doesn’t need to be picture-perfect. However, a quick declutter can help. Focus on tidying up the spaces we’ll be using most, like the living room, kitchen etc. But don’t stress — a little mess is part of real life!

What Should We Wear?
Dress in clothes that feel comfortable and natural to you. There’s no need to go shopping for new outfits. Instead, choose simple, timeless pieces that you already love.

A few tips:

  • Avoid logos and bright neon colors.

  • Neutral tones and soft colours tend to photograph well.

  • Comfortable, casual clothing works best — think cozy sweaters, jeans, or a favorite dress.

For kids, let them express themselves! If your little one wants to wear a tutu or superhero cape, go for it — these photos are about capturing their personality at this moment in time.

How Long Will the Session Last?
Sessions are 60 minutes long, giving us plenty of time to capture a variety of moments. If you have specific routines or activities you’d like photographed — like bedtime stories, or baking together — we’ll plan the session around those moments.

Some activities can be recreated at a different time of day (like making pancakes for lunch instead of breakfast), but certain moments, like putting a baby to sleep, may require more precise timing. Let me know what’s important to you, and we’ll schedule accordingly.

What You’ll Receive
