With Colorado shifting to the cooler months of the year, planning family photos outdoors can get tricky, especially if you have little ones! When the weather gets cooler and the nights get darker earlier, you may be leaning towards an in-home family session. Perhaps you just had a baby and want to schedule some family photos in the comfort of your own home. In-home family photos are a great way to capture the moments you desperately want to remember without worrying about scheduling around the weather. Read on for a few perks to scheduling your family photos this year at home.
Comfort and Familiarity
Your family home is a comfortable and safe place for your children and yourself! Sometimes, planning in-home family photos is an excellent start to the world of family photos. Your family will feel comfortable and at ease in their own space, making the photos more meaningful and unique. Consider how comfortable your family will feel in their space if your family includes small children. Children are often more comfortable in their familiar home environment, which will lead to more natural and happy moments captured in your photos.
Unique and Personal Backdrops
As previously mentioned, your home is a special place. While considering if in-home family photos are for you, I’d like you to consider the memories those walls hold. The space that not only reflects your family’s personality but your story. If you’re welcoming a new family member, capturing moments in the nursery could be incredibly sentimental. Your home is the place that has kept your family safe from the world and maybe even where your family’s story began. Crafting moments in your first home as a family will be memorable for everyone.
No Stress About Weather
If you’re a Colorado local, you understand the importance of this point. During the colder months, snow can be found nearly everywhere. Consider in-home family photos if you’re worried about rescheduling due to weather. We can plan these pictures whenever works best for you and your family while forgoing the stress of planning an outdoor session in the snow. While I love a good outdoor family session, I understand it’s not for everyone!
Outfits and Props More Readily Available During In-Home Family Photos
If you’re considering adding a personal touch to photos, an in-home family session may be the right fit for your bunch. Since we’ll be in your home for your photos, you’ll have your entire closet at your fingertips—whether you decide to change your outfit or your kiddos need an outfit change after a spill.
If you’re planning for newborn photos, an in-home session is a great way to keep your baby comfortable and content. Newly postpartum, you may feel overwhelmed leaving the house and packing everything for your baby. Instead of being in your own space, you’ll have everything and anything you or your baby could need! Perhaps during your photos, if you want to include unique family heirlooms or props, they’ll be easy additions in your home.
In-Home Family Photos Capture Everyday Life
Lastly, planning photos in your home captures everyday life. Throughout your photos, we can easily highlight everyday activities and fun together. Perhaps you enjoy baking cookies together, reading a book, or playing board games—these can be easily incorporated into your session! Including candid, everyday moments in your session will make for special memories with your children to look back on fondly. We’ll be able to document real connections and genuine emotions as they happen – making for the most memorable photos!
In-home family photos provide a unique and timeless way to capture your family in the place where it all happens. From the everyday giggles to the late-night cuddles, your home is a space of comfort and a haven for your children—capturing them in their space allows meaningful photos to last a lifetime. Consider in-home pictures if you want a stress-free and meaningful way to capture your family’s bond!
