I want to stop using the words Covid, Coronavirus, Corona….. I mean unless we are speaking of the good kind of Corona, ha! Reality is, it doesn’t seem to be disappearing any time soon so I’m adjusting, and super thankful my clients are making the best of it, too!
Lifestyle sessions are my jam. You go into someone’s home and capture the life, love, happiness and fun within THEIR own walls. For me personally, this is my kind of session… The real and raw candid moments from every day life captured forever. So, who wants to come follow me around my house?
Really though, do you ever have moments where you wish so badly that someone was right there to capture them? I’ve caught myself in so many moments, especially now that I am a mom, where I wish time would freeze and someone would sneak up and take a picture. This is my favorite part about this type of session – Sure, some of it is staged, like Lillka being super adorable in the fruit skin bath… but she’s in her own kitchen sink with her own dog-sibling that her mom and dad will get to cherish forever. It creates this added level of adoration of the images captured during a lifestyle session and I.Love.That!
“Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends.”
Zuzanna graciously opened her home for me to come and take Lillka’s newborn session since my previous studio was inside my childhood home, which burned down about a month before Lilli was born. I loved coming back again to take this lifestyle session and can’t believe it has been a whole YEAR since I was here last! Look how stinking cute she is! In Lilli fashion, she has been absolutely nailing her sessions since she was born and this one was no different! My kid always looked away from the camera, Lilli welcomes it — I can dig that and trust me, I did! Haha
Zuzanna is such a good mom and this session brought so much opportunity for my creativity to run wild and I am always so thankful when client’s are up for whatever ideas swirl around inside of my head. Fruit skin baths are definitely up there on my list of favorite “props.” Having their gorgeous home as my backdrop is pretttty amazing, too!
“The love of a family is life’s greatest blessings.”
Thank you Zuzanna for welcoming me into your family so many times to document the beauty that lies within your home and between your family! I love every second I spend capturing these memories for you all and am grateful you choose me to do so. <3
