Seattle Lifestyle Family Photography Session – What to Expect

Seattle lifestyle family photography is about capturing your family as you are – your connection, your energy, your favorite activities – all the things that make the story of your family unique.

Here’s exactly what to expect when you book a Seattle lifestyle family photography session.

A Fun, Real-Life Experience for your Family Lifestyle Photography

The biggest different with Seattle lifestyle family photography is the feel of the session. There’s no pressure to perform, look perfect, or sit still for an extended amount of time. Instead, the experience is designed to feel natural and easy – just like a fun afternoon with your family.

Instead of standing with a frozen smile, you might be:

• Playing Red Rover, Red Rover
• Swinging your kids high up in the air
• Giggling while telling me who has the stinkiest feet

Your photographer will guide your family with fun prompts and games to illicit real interactions and the magic of your family will naturally unfold.

Beautiful, Natural Seattle Backdrops for your Lifestyle Session

One of the best parts of Seattle lifestyle family photography is choosing from the huge variety of stunning locations we have available right in our backyard. Sessions can take place:

• In your home for a cozy, intimate feel
• At local parks with open space for kids to run
• Along beaches with soft light and the magic reflection off the water
• At one of your favorite spots doing one of your favorite activities

Seattle’s soft, diffused light (yes, I even love a moody-cloudy day) creates a dreamy, flattering look that works year-round. I’ve even done sessions in the rain with clear umbrellas, rain boots and puddle-splashing fun!

A Focus on Connection over Perfection

More than anything, your session is about how your family feels, not looks. A lifestyle photographer loves messy, wind-swept hair, toothless grins, muddy knees and all! The full gallery of images should include all the moments – tender, silly, spunky and more.

What to Wear for your Lifestyle Photoshoot

Clothing plays a big role in the overall feel of your photos, but it doesn’t have to be stressful. For Seattle lifestyle family photography, think:

• Soft, neutral, earth tones OR bright fun pops of color depending on your personality
• Coordinating (not matching) outfits
• Comfortable pieces you can move in

It’s all about the layers and textures to compliment Seattle’s environment and add interest to your images.

Ready for Your Seattle Lifestyle Family Photography Session?

If you want photos that feel natural and uniquely you, a lifestyle session is the perfect fit. The biggest compliment is when the family walks away saying “That was fun!” (yes, even dad). Because, in the end it’s all about creating lasting images of the time you spent together.
