Why In-Home Sessions Are Perfect During Winter
I have a deep love for capturing families in the great outdoors, whether it's amidst the lush greenery of summer, the stunning oranges and reds of fall, or even the snowy beauty of Chicago winters. However, I understand the challenges that winter weather can pose for a family session. This is where in-home sessions come into play. I approach these sessions much like I do outdoor ones—real and authentic. Here are a few compelling reasons why in-home sessions might be the perfect choice for you!
Say goodbye to the hassle of getting the kiddos ready and into the car ON TIME.
Imagine this scenario: your session is scheduled for 4pm, and you'd usually need to leave by 3:15pm to get there on time. But it's 3pm, and your two kids are still upstairs in their pajamas, performing acrobatics on the bed, while dad is in the shower. Sounds like a stressful rush, doesn't it? I completely understand. By eliminating the need for travel time, you and your family gain more precious moments to get ready comfortably while I come to your home.
No need for layers upon layers of clothes!
Who doesn't dread having to bundle up in all those layers just to step outside? My wife and I certainly do, and I can only imagine how families feel about the idea of shedding those layers just to show off their carefully chosen outfits for pictures. Being in the comfort of your own home solves that problem, offering a sense of casual ease without the need for multiple jackets, pants, and socks. I couldn't agree more!
Children are typically in their most comfortable environment.
To me, this is the most crucial and rewarding aspect of in-home sessions. Capturing children just being themselves is not only fulfilling for me as a photographer but also incredibly meaningful for parents when they see those genuine moments of their child. Kids grow up so quickly, and the most authentic way to capture their essence is by letting them be themselves year after year. As time goes by, you'll look back on these photos and be filled with laughter, smiles, and tears, remembering those priceless moments.
I hope this has instilled confidence and provided you with valuable insights. An in-home session offers a perfect option, not only for you but especially for your children. If you and your family are interested in an in-home session or if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm here for you!
