There are so many reasons why lifestyle photography is a growing trend in the photography industry. With the increasing popularity of lifestyle bloggers on Instagram documenting their home life, this type of imagery creates stunning natural portraits of family life at home or on-location. The emphasis is less on formal poses, and more on capturing and creating organic moments that bring out everyone’s personality. Everything from laughter to tears, are beautiful and help tell a story.
Being in the comfort of their own home, also helps new parents and small children alike relax and enjoy the photo shoot. Lifestyle photography also provides the opportunity for some beautiful environmental portraiture. For me, capturing beautiful images of your home is just as important as photographing the people in it. Our homes tell a story, and they reflect our personality and interests.
Preserving your family’s story, through photography, helps create a legacy of beautifully documented memories to pass on through generations. A picture is worth a thousand words, and I find that especially true in lifestyle photography.
