This session is so special because it literally is all about you and your family. I come to you, wherever your most favorite place is (most times it's home!) and I photograph you guys as you are. We'll have a few activities planned to keep everyone engaged-- nothing crazy-- normal things like meal prep and mealtime, book reading, playing with blocks, swinging on the swing set, picnics in the backyard, jumping on the bed. Whatever you'd normally be doing at that time of the day. There's a good chance, especially if you have small children, you're going to forget all about the routine you had and the silly, regular things your little ones always did during those routines that made your heart swell. This session is designed to preserve those tiny moments for you to cherish, always. You can read
here why Day in the Life sessions are the
best sessions, and you can see a couple examples from my blog
here and above.
Hair and makeup is totally optional, but could help you look like your best self. You'll have to consider our location and activities. If we're doing a pancake breakfast there's a good chance a full face of makeup may look out of place. If we're going to Central Park though, or doing a stylish family city stroll, I have a great makeup artist I work with often and I highly recommend her. I'd be happy to provide her information upon request. If you decide to do your own makeup and hair, just be sure that it's you.
