Terre Haute Photographer {What is Lifestyle Photography?}

If you've spent any time looking at photographer's websites, you've probably heard the term "lifestyle photography" but weren't really sure what it meant. Different photographers define it in different ways, but for me it simply means that the photos actually tell something about the person being photographed instead of being a more generic studio type of photo. My goal as a photographer is not to just take "pretty pictures", it's to create amazing images that tell beautiful stories. I don't want to show what you look like...I want to show who you are.

The location and props used as well as the posing (or lack thereof) all work together to tell something about the child or family or couple being photographed, whether it's a photo of a family playing together, or a child with his favorite toy or blankie, or a high school senior with her favorite book, or mommy and daddy snuggling with their new baby. The photos should tell something about your lifestyle, not someone else's. The photos should be about your family, not my style or ideas.

Although I offer three different types of sessions, with slightly varying approaches and different final products and number of images, the goal with each session is the same: to show who you are (or who your child is, depending on the session!)
