Why Posed Photography Is Out For Families and Lifestyle Photography Is In

What Makes Them Different

Ok, so I’ve sold you on the idea, but what about the details? Let’s look at what you can expect from a lifestyle photography shoot, and why it’s so different from the posed photos of the past.

1. Location, Location, Location

Lifestyle photography shoots take place outdoors, at a venue, or in your own home. You can negotiate the location with your photographer, depending on how you envision your images to look. Generally, families are photographed candidly exploring the location they’re based in, or doing an activity like reading a book or having a picnic. There’s room for your children to run free, and for you and your partner to relax and be captured as you are, not frazzled and overwhelmed.

2. Timing

Lifestyle photoshoots have a much longer time allowance than most posed photography. With the exception of newborn studio photography, which can take place over several hours, posed photography is usually over quickly. After all, there are only so many set ups that can be accomplished in a studio. A lifestyle photography shoot might take between one to two hours, giving you enough time to get to know the photographer, and for them to capture your family in their true style.
