Oh the joys of taking photos in your own home. This has quickly become my preferred method for family shoots. Everyone is more comfortable with taking photos (kids + Dads + tickle fights on the bed = happy mom and happy photographer). As a family photographer in College Station we all live fairly close to each other, nothing is much more than a 15 minute drive (if that!).
Let me reveal a few reasons why taking family photos in your own home is a wonderful idea!
- Comfort! (already touched on that one!)
- your finished photos are, with out a doubt, going to look great up on your walls because….well the match perfectly!
- Ease of outfit changes
- You’re more likely to all be on time, you have no load up and unload, you just walk down the stairs
- We can always grab some out side shots with the house in the background if you crave a little sunshine
- Did I mention every one is more comfortable and smiles come more naturally???
My list, as you can see, starts and ends with ease and comfort.
I love the Smith Family for their sweet smiles and welcoming demeanor! My favorite part of this shoot was when dad came home and saw his lovely wife. His comment and reaction were precious! HELLO, look at that Mama, is she not just beautiful!?
