Portland Lifestyle Family Photographer | Eleanor Turns 1!

Portland lifestyle family photographer. For this type of family photo session, I will come to you! Sometimes its easier to capture natural and authentic portraits when you are in your own environment at home. I’ll capture you doing the things you’d normally do everyday: reading books, playing with toys, lounging on your bed, and more.

I think this is a lifestyle family session is perfect to book when you have really young kiddos. The biggest benefit being, we can schedule this session during the day, choosing a time that works around naps! No one wants a cranky and tired baby for photos. With an outdoor family session, we are really limited to early morning hours and late evening hours for the best natural light. We don’t have the same constraints when working indoors.

When wanting to book a session like this you will want to make sure your home gets lots of natural light – big windows are a plus for indoor lifestyle family photo sessions.

Thank you, K family, for inviting me into your home to document and help celebrate this very special milestone of your baby turning one!

You can see a lot of personality coming through these photos. It sure seems to me that Eleanor is the yin to her big sister’s yang.

And how about those original works of art by Arcadian Photography hung in the playroom?! Looking so good. I photographed both the girls as newborns and it was so fun to see prints from their newborn sessions hung in the playroom.

Choosing outfits for your Portland lifestyle family photos can be hard! I recommend simple outfits like what this family is wearing. The older sister’s romper is from Zara and the younger sister’s dress is from a small shop in the UK via Etsy called My Candy Cloud.
