Yorkshire family photography at home
Here are my 5 reasons why I absolutely love shooting at-home sessions for my clients and why it might be the right choice for you!
1- You have everything you need in one place
Let’s be honest, with older kids or a baby life can get pretty hectic! Getting everyone out of the door for an outside session might seem too overwhelming for you, and that’s ok. At home sessions ease that burden of trying to pack the car full of things. When we shoot at your home, you have everything you need in one place and there is no rush. We can take as long as you need between those feeds and nappy changes. You also don’t need to tidy up for me, clean the house and present as perfect- I’m not here to judge you, I’m here to work with you and capture you and give you a 5 minute break from the kids if needed!
2- Capture memories in an already sacred place to you
This home is maybe where all your kids grew up, where you’ve just brought that little bundle of joy back or it might be your last few weeks before moving and starting again. All the memories inside those walls and the laughter echoing down the hall- it’s so sacred. You can look back on the photographs in many years and know how safe and held you felt in that space during that time in your life.
3- Anytime of year in any weather
The weather in the UK can be unpredictable at the best of times and in Winter you might not want to be outside with your little ones for long. At home sessions can take place at any time of year and we can still capture those precious memories without worrying abut rain or wind! They’re perfect for newborn and baby sessions, snuggled next to a cosy fire in Winter or playing in the garden during summer.
This maternity session pictured was done 1 week before they moved house and there was boxes everywhere! They barely had any stuff out but it shows that we can work around whatever is going on in your life and still get incredible results.
4- Familiar environment
You might have kids who don’t like unfamiliar environments or you might have pre-session nerves which is completely normal! When we do sessions in your home it means you can relax in a space which is familiar to you and your family. You might feel as though this setting is more comfortable and suited to you; a place you can whole heartedly be yourself.
5- Personal touches
When we shoot at your home we will always include anything that celebrates your quirks and personality as a family or individual. That might be snuggled up on a sofa which holds many memories, holding a pet who means the world to you or including those picture frames displayed on windowsills and walls. Documentary style, fly on the wall shooting will allow me to capture you as you are. Authentic and real.
35mm film roll is a great addition to at-home sessions to include that nostalgic feeling. To see my 35mm film work please click below
