You should definitely consider an at home family shoot!

Should you be thinking about having your family lifestyle photoshoot at home?

YES YES YES!!!

The resounding answer to this question is that if you haven’t thought about it then you should definitely start. Here’s why…

Everyone will be more at ease and will feel more relaxed because they are in an environment where they already feel comfortable. This is especially helpful for children who may be more camera shy.

Your home is an extension of your family, it can help tell the story of your life together. And because you are at home you can also easily include your child’s favourite toy or the family pet.

Which leads me to the biggest bonus of at home shoots. The connivence!!! By having the shoot at home you don’t need to worry about the weather, getting the children in the car, driving to a location, avoiding the crowds, feeling uncomfortable because you think people are watching you and then when the kids inevitably get over the whole thing their rooms are right there to retreat too!
