In-Home Editorial Session | Daena & Autumn

I get it: the idea of taking family photos or couple photos can be stressful, daunting, and anxiety-producing. I hear all the time from couples or families who either feel awkward in front of the camera, or feel like the idea of traditional family or couple photos (think: smiling at the camera for the holiday card) just isn’t for them.

Daena & Autumn’s in-home photo session was the perfect antidote for the stressful, formal photo session. This couple wanted to showcase their actual day to day life in the place they love most: their home. By hosting their photo session in their home, Daena & Autumn were able to share and document their interests, including their love of music, antiques, and other vintage finds. Instead of inorganic photos, we were able to capture Daena & Autumn being their true selves in their own space (and got to add in a few editorial shots for fun). 

Capturing your family or couples session at home has other benefits too, including the ability for additional wardrobe changes. When shooting at a park or downtown location, it’s often difficult to find a suitable location for a wardrobe change, but Daena & Autumn were able to feature multiple different outfits, which allowed them to truly display their sense of style. 

Even your space itself takes on so much additional meaning when photographed by a professional, allowing you to see your own home in, quite literally, a new light. I love photographing in-home sessions like Daena & Autumn’s, as it gives me a unique window into your vibe as a couple. Often my couples and families feel more relaxed during an in-home photo session, as it feels more like hanging out with a friend who just so happens to have their camera with them. 

If you think an in-home session might be something you’re interested in, or if you want to even just explore the possibility, I’d love to chat with you more about how we can make amazing, creative, and timeless portraits in your home.
