A photoshoot in your home may not be something that you’ve considered, but you should seriously consider one…

Which of us doesn’t love having great photos of our families?! But… it’s something most of us put off for another day. It can be quite a stressful prospect, so how do you make it as easy and enjoyable as possible? This is where in-home photoshoots come into their own.

Here are my top five reasons to choose to have your photoshoot in your own home

1. Many people feel awkward on front of the camera.

 

 

In your home environment is where you are most “you”. You will feel more relaxed and this REALLY shows in the images. Your little ones will also be more relaxed – children take a while to warm up to new people and surroundings. Having them show me their bedroom and their toys is a fast way to get them to feel more comfortable, which will always result in better shots.

2. What are you wearing?!

 

 

If anyone has misjudged the wardrobe choices, we can quickly have a look and see what might work better – you can all even quickly change into a second outfit if you like – to mix things up a bit! Also – no more worries about your child messing up their outfit en route to a studio shoot!

3. Your house is where many of your favourite family memories are made.

 

 

It’s great to capture your moments of connection in the environment where they actually happen on a daily basis. All the more so if you don’t plan to stay in that house forever, or if you plan to redecorate – how amazing to have artfully captured images of the space where your family life began? Your home is also probably full of all sorts of things – your little ones’ favourite toys, a beautiful blanket on the sofa – that will look beautiful in a photo and can be captured for your memories.

4. It allows us to capture some activities that you and your family enjoy together.

 

If you like baking or painting or crafting together – why not get some beautiful photos of you doing that together? Or capture some everyday activities which you will treasure in times to come – bath-time, brushing your little one’s teeth, story-time… the possibilities are endless in a home environment – whatever you like to do, we can capture it!

5. You don’t need to worry about the weather!

 

 

It has to be a REALLY dark day outside for an indoor photoshoot to be called off. Outdoor shoots can be amazing, but we are at the mercy of the weather – different weather and light conditions outside can result in very different photos – or even a postponed shoot. At home, if the conditions are right, we can take some shots in the garden as well as indoors, but we don’t have to stress if it is raining!

 

…all of this, with coffee and snacks to hand, to keep everyone at peak mood!
