1. choose 1 or 2 activities for your in home photography session
My favorite thing about shooting Redmond Oregon in home photography sessions is how epically individual they are. NOTHING represents YOUR family in THIS season, than capturing the memories you make in your home. Now, I know that Idea can also be overwhelming. There’s so many different things you could choose to highlight! My advice is for mom and dad, (or kiddos depending on age!) each pick an activity. For this sweet family they chose baking sourdough cinnamon rolls + spending time out on the farm in Dad’s old Ford. The perfect combo if you ask me! we sprinkled in a few shots of reading books together and snuggling, and playing on the couch and voila! a session that perfectly represents where they’re at.
2. How to prep your home for a Redmond Oregon in home photography Session
Unfortunately I think this is one of the biggest hesitations to Redmond Oregon in home photography for many moms! and it shouldn’t be! Just like the tip above; the key here is to pick just a few. Pick a few pockets of your home to tidy up and don’t worry about the rest! My favorites are nurseries or kids rooms, living rooms, and kitchens. Leave that master bedroom with the pile of laundry on the bed (unless you love that spot!). Leave the office space or dining area with toys and things strewn about. Once you’ve picked your space I suggest you try for a happy medium between tidying up and remembering that no one actually lives in those houses in the magazines. (wink wink) Your home is perfectly yours. It doesn’t need to be void of any signs of life to have incredible photos shot! The camera does not pick up that you didn’t mop I promise. 😉 Pick up the clutter that we inevitably get with the daily kiddos and call it a day!
3. schedule your in home photography session for your home’s lighting
This is getting technical here; but stay with me! Easily the most influential component of high quality images is lighting; especially for in home photos. So a good rule of thumb is to walk around your home one day in the morning and then in the afternoon and evaluate. Do most of your windows in the spaces you love face West or East? do they have more diffused lighting in the morning or afternoon? and don’t worry about forgetting this little bit, I always review this with clients before finalizing a time!
