Stuart Lifestyle Photographer | A day in the life session

Stuart Lifestyle Photographer | A day in the life session

So, here is the deal.  I love portrait sessions.  I love capturing different milestones and celebrations that are preserved for years to come.  But, I also know that most memories lie in the everyday.  And with kids, the everyday changes so quickly.  One moment we are wondering if we will every make it through the newborn stage and late night feedings to only be catapulted to toddler hood and the ever challenging teen years.  It literally flies by.  I do not want to forget the every day.  Wiping faces after our favorite meal, watching our favorite movie for the hundredth time, family game time, or bedtime tuck-ins.  Those moments are where the “remember when you used to……” are found.

This is where lifestyle photography comes in.  It is not wearing your best clothes, in the best light, in the best location kind of session.  It is documenting the beauty of your everyday.  These are the moments that our kids remember the most.  I come in and, well, try to be unseen and capture your day as it unfolds.  I will admit, this was a little new for me.  I love the result!  These images show me how beautiful everyday life is.

It was early, and my presence was very obvious.  She was not so sure at this point.

She was starting to dig me:))

Did not have to do much for this guy.  He was not shy.  We kept reminding him to pretend I wasn’t there.  Oh well, how could he resist?  He is a ham and certainly not shy around the camera and kept me laughing!

Because it is always better to drink with a spoon.

Like father like son….

He was tempted to squirt me.  He faked me out and started spraying the water my way, but did not get me.

Yeah, it isn’t plugged in.  Don’t tell her that!

You could say was was finally cool with me being there!

This momma does it all.  Home cooked meals, sews, and homeschools her kiddos.  Oh, and she’s a pastor’s wife.  Yep, one busy momma!

When I mean the everyday stuff, I meant it.  Lightbulb went out, so it had to be changed.

This boy speaks lego!

And star wars legos too!

Thank you for allowing me to get a peek into your family.  You guys are awesome and amazing parents!
