What is lifestyle photography?
Curious about what lifestyle photography is? You're not alone! Photographers often use buzzwords to describe their style, but we don’t always explain what we really mean. Today, I want to share my take on lifestyle photography and why it’s so special to me.
Lifestyle photography has been described in many ways—from “not quite documentary, not quite formal portraits” to “capturing the in-between moments” or even “a mix of photojournalism and fine art portraiture.” Even within the photography world, we sometimes struggle to define it! So, here’s my interpretation:
For me, lifestyle photography is all about capturing relationships and personalities. It’s about photographing your family sharing love and laughter, and creating images that truly represent your child’s spirit, where you’ll look at the photo and think, “That’s so them!”
“We had the most incredible experience with Jennifer during our lifestyle photo session in Rocky Mountain National Park! From the stunning scenery to the natural, candid moments she captured, the photos truly reflect our personalities and connection. Jennifer made us feel so comfortable, guiding us effortlessly through the session while still allowing us to be ourselves. The images are a beautiful mix of nature and emotion—exactly what we hoped for. Highly recommend for anyone looking to preserve their memories in such a breathtaking setting!”
