At-Home Lifestyle Photography
Hi,
I'm Lauren!
Family Photographer
I am so excited to get to work with your family! Thank YOU for choosing me to capture the love and joy of your family in a true and honest way.
This guide will serve as a way to prepare you for your studio family mini-session. While brief, I still want you to have an amazing experience with Elle May Photography from start to finish.
The Experience
Lifestyle photography means that while I do take a few posed shots, I really just capture your family's natural interactions with some gentle posing guidelines. My goal is always to capture what your love feels like. My biggest tip is to get close to your family and keep smiling and laughing through out our time together. I want the essence of your family to shine through your photos, so even though this session does not take place at your home, I want you to feel comfortable to be yourselves.
Location
The Ginger Birdie - West End
1020 Brookstown Ave, Suite 41
Winston-Salem, NC
The Ginger Birdie is a beautiful space with large windows and white walls. They have two gorgeous set-ups we will be utilizing during our time together. The bedroom set up has soft, neutral colors that will be great for snuggling close to your kiddos. The leather sofa will provide additional posing options, whether you have one kiddo (or six!)

- Choose 1 big print and 1 small print
(florals, geometric, stripes)

(corduroy, flannel, linen, silk, lace, knit)
- Use different silhouettes
(creates visual interest)

Overall Tips
- Lose the shoes!
Bare feet make it look and feel more like home!
- Kids feed off your emotions.
Be happy, energetic, and upbeat and your kids will follow.
- DON'T look at the camera (unless I ask you to).
Keep looking at the ones you love!
- Prepare to get CLOSE to your loved ones.
If you think you are close, get closer!
- Share this guide with your spouse.
This makes sure everyone is on the same page.
I can't wait to see you in the studio soon!
xo, Lauren
