What is the lifestyle photography?
Lifestyle photography is somewhere in between portrait photography and documentary. Lifestyle is more about capturing a moment. It's about photographing emotions and connection. But the photographer doesn't just leave it up to the family to know exactly what to do, they will provide gentile direction.
Sometimes we may give a prompt and leave it open to interpretation so the family can make it their own. Other times we may set a family up into a pose, but then tell them to do something sweet or silly to get everyone interacting. Or we will have games for them to play to get everyone having fun together.
Movement plays a big part in lifestyle photography. A lot of times the prompts we use incorporate a lot of movement, because it looks beautiful on camera and provides something a bit different. Another benefit to keeping our subjects moving is that it gives them something to do and helps them to feel more comfortable.
