Ashyn & Will: Lifestyle Portraits

What are lifestyle portraits you ask? For me, it is when I go to the location of the client's choice--usually their home--and photograph the subjects in their natural environment. I've found this works great with kids who are in the age range of about 2-5, the age when they tend to freeze up in a studio type environment. This was the case for Ashlyn--we did studio portraits about a month before these, and she was just so interested in everything else around her, and it was reflected in the photos. We tried these at her house, and they turned out so much more natural. Ashlyn's mom had a little tea party set up for her in her adorable room, which made for some great shots. And Will is just getting cuter by they day!
Here are some faves.
