Lifestyle photography Information
Unlike portrait or studio photography, lifestyle photography is a more natural and less controlled photographic experience, although similar to wedding photography where some shots can be staged or posed, they are made to look more Natural. Quite often a lot of the best photographs are taken when the subjects go with the flow and forget all about the camera, which is much easier when not within the confines of a studio.
The locations can be wide and varied and depending on the client’s preferences, can range from thrashing around in the autumn leaves of a local park to splashing in the shallows of a beach.
The advantages of having an outdoor lifestyle shoot are the only limitations are left to your imagination, Interesting places and props are found in everyday places and make fantastic backdrops for your photographs. And by moving away from the traditional high street studio photography we can create some interesting and amazing photographs.

Clothing tips for kids
|
It’s a good idea to take a change of clothes for the child to get a wide range of photographs. Bright colours are always good and colours that compliment the background.
Choose clothes the child feels comfortable in. Depending on the environment, children’s clothes can become dirty. Bear this in mind when dressing your child for the shoot and when choosing a location for the portrait photography. You might want to bring any props or toys to include in the picture. Something to get your child’s attention for those ”I’m not playing moments”. It’s also important for your child to be warm. Blue skin and runny noses won’t look too good in a photo. Hats, scarves & woolly jumpers etc… all look good in photographs. Clothing with texture will add detail and emphasis to the picture. Take them some refreshments, just in case the shoot runs a little longer than anticipated. Above all, smile and be happy it’s all about having fun and making it a memorable and enjoyable experience, The photos should reflect the real emotion and essence of the day.
