Why Choose In-Home Lifestyle Sessions for Family Photography?

Seattle Family Photographer | Cassandra Rene Photography

With Winter soon approaching, our options and opportunities for outdoor photography sessions dwindle drastically. But have no fear – in home sessions are gaining popularity, and with good reason!

Read on for my TOP THREE REASONS to choose an in-home session this winter!

1. We’ll start with the obvious: the comfort of your own home means you don’t have to worry about weather.

Warm, cozy, and so much less stress trying to get everyone dressed *and* out the door. Just get them dressed – you don’t even have to worry about shoes (which is half the battle, am I right?)

2. Kids warm up to the camera faster – and that means more smiles!

Kiddos absolutely light up when they’re in their own element and on their own turf. Showing off their favorite toys, spaces, and activities brings out the BEST giggles and joy! This is especially helpful for neurodivergent kids who need familiarity and routine or for shy ones who simply need a little more help warming up to the camera.

3. In home sessions are a visual preservation of this stage of your life and those little things you’ll want to remember years from now.

Your child’s favorite stuffed animal, toy, or game. The way their room looks and even the mess they make in it. The smile on their face as you play with them or read them a book. These are the things that make up your daily life together – and exactly the things you’ll miss when they’re grown. But captured beautifully on camera, these memories can live on and shared for generations to come.

    Now I’d love to hear what you think – would you do an in-home lifestyle session? I’m dying to do one revolving around baking…if that’s your jam (hehe, get it?) please reach out! I’d love to work with you!
