Warming Up Your Space: Tips for Preparing Your Home for an In-Home Photography Session

As a lifestyle photographer, I've had the privilege of stepping into many beautiful homes, each with its own unique character and charm. When it comes to preparing your home for an in-home photography session, a little bit of prep can go a long way in making your photos truly shine.

Why Prep Your Home?

Your home is more than just a physical space – it's where memories are made, laughter is shared, and love resides. By taking a few simple steps to prepare your home, you'll be able to:

- Showcase your personal style and taste

- Highlight the beauty and character of your home

- Create a warm and inviting atmosphere that reflects your family's love and connection

Practical Tips for Preparing Your Home

Here are some practical tips to help you prepare your home for our in-home photography session: 1. Make Those Beds: A made bed can instantly elevate the look and feel of a room. Take a few minutes to tidy up those beds and add some fresh pillows and blankets.

2. Clear the Clutter: Excess clutter can distract from the beauty of your home and the love of your family. Take some time to tidy up surfaces, put away toys and books, and clear off countertops.

3. Straighten Up: Make sure photo frames, vases, and other decorative items are straight and level. This will help create a sense of calm and serenity in your photos.

4. Add Some Greenery: Fresh flowers or plants can add a pop of color and life to your photos. Choose something simple and elegant that reflects your personal style.

5. Dim the Lights: Soft, natural light is always the most flattering. Consider dimming your lights or using sheer curtains to filter the light and create a warm, cozy atmosphere.

6. Keep it Simple: Avoid over-accessorizing or adding too many props. Instead, focus on showcasing your home's natural beauty and your family's love and connection.

7. Be Yourself: Most importantly, be yourself and have fun! Your home should reflect your personality and style, so don't be afraid to add personal touches and decorative items that make you happy.

Getting Ready for Our Session

By following these simple tips, you'll be well on your way to creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that showcases your home's unique character and your family's love.

If you have any questions or concerns about preparing your home for our session, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always here to help and support you in any way I can.

What to Wear for Your In-Home Photography Session: Tips for Moms and Families

Hey there, lovely moms!

As you prepare for your in-home photography session, you're probably wondering what to wear to make your photos shine. The answer is simple: wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable!

For moms, I recommend opting for flowy dresses, jumpsuits, or even your favorite leggings and sweater combo. These styles are not only comfortable but also create a beautiful, relaxed look that's perfect for an in-home session. Consider pieces with soft textures, like cotton or linen, that will add a cozy touch to your photos.

But, what about the rest of the family? Encourage your loved ones to dress in a way that reflects their personal style, while also complementing your choices. The goal is to coordinate without matching exactly – think similar color palettes or textures. This will create a cohesive look that's both natural and beautiful.

When choosing your outfits, consider your home's decor as well. Select colors and styles that will complement your surroundings, so your photos will seamlessly blend with your home's aesthetic. This way, you'll love displaying your printed images on your walls, and they'll become a beautiful addition to your home.

Remember, the most important thing is to feel comfortable and confident in what you're wearing. Your joy and love will shine through in your photos, making them truly unforgettable.
