Why I Love Lifestyle Family Sessions

There’s something really special about a lifestyle family session. Photographing a family at home, in their own space – where the laughter is familiar, their favorite things are nearby, and the little everyday moments become the most cherished memories.

A Story Nearly a Decade in the Making

I’ve had the absolute joy of photographing Aly and Chaz since their gorgeous wedding at Epona Estates. Documenting their story unfold over the years has been such a gift. From their engagement session, nearly 10 years ago (how has it been that long?!), to multiple family, maternity, and newborn sessions – it’s been an honor to photograph the meaningful milestones as they’ve grown from newlyweds to parents of three!

Capturing Families as They Truly Are

I especially enjoy lifestyle sessions because they offer a relaxed, intimate setting and reflect each family in their everyday rhythm. There’s no pressure to pose or perform – it’s all about documenting what a real day together at home looks like. Whether it’s snuggling on the bed, playing a favorite board game, or pausing for a quiet moment in the kitchen, these are the memories that matter most.

The Beauty in the Details

What I especially love about lifestyle sessions is how much personality shines through every space and tells part of the family’s story. From the way a nursery is styled, to well-loved toys scattered across the room, to how the light falls through familiar windows – these details matter. They ground the photos in authenticity and make each session completely one-of-a-kind.

An Afternoon with the Navarros

With the Navarros, the comfort and joy they share as a family was present in every interaction, and it made this session feel more like an afternoon spent with old friends than anything posed or staged. That kind of magic is priceless.
