In Home Family Photo Sessions | Jen Joseph Photography

In-home family photo sessions have become increasingly popular in recent years. Family sessions at home are relaxed and can move at a more leisurely pace. This type of session allows you to showcase your personality and preferences in your own space. The result is a collection of beautiful, candid photographs that truly reflect your family relationships. Whether it’s a cozy couch hang, a baking session in the kitchen, or simply spending quality time together, in-home family photo sessions offer a fantastic way to immortalize those special moments with your loved ones.

Why Should You Consider an In-Home Family Photoshoot?

In-home sessions are about capturing precious moments and memories with your family in the comfort of your home. No need to worry about finding the perfect location, and no chance of having to reschedule for bad weather! You can showcase your family’s unique personality and style by incorporating your environment in the session. Plus, you and your family will likely feel more relaxed and natural in your space, resulting in authentic photographs. 

A family photoshoot at home also allows for flexibility in timing, and gives you some variety in that we can take photos in different locations in and around your home.

Tips to Prepare Your Home for Your Photography Session

Preparing your home for a photography session can be as simple as you’d like it to be! Beyond choosing your outfits, here are some tips to prepare your home for a family photoshoot:

  • Clear surfaces to your level of comfort in the rooms where we will take photographs.
  • Open curtains and/or blinds to let in natural light.
  • Think about features of your home that you may want to highlight (e.g., the front door or porch, the staircase, children’s rooms, your kitchen).

On session day, if there is anything else that needs to be adjusted once we start taking photos, I will help with that.
