Toronto In-Home Lifestyle Maternity Photography – The Benefits

If a studio session feels a little too formal for your taste, or the weather isn’t ideal for an outdoor session, an in-home session might be a better fit for you! With Toronto in-home lifestyle maternity photography, there are a number of benefits to being in your own space where you are most comfortable.

Why Choose an In-Home Maternity Session?

• Comfort & Convenience
  No need to travel anywhere, I will come to you! This is especially helpful if you’ve been put on orders for restricted movement, or just haven’t had a very comfortable pregnancy.
• Personalized & Meaningful
  How wonderful would it be to document the place your baby will know as their first home! Getting a glimpse into your daily life, including any pets you have, and showing off baby’s nursery are some great ways to add something extra special to your images.
• Relaxed & Natural Feel
  The goal for in-home lifestyle photography is to document genuine moments in natural light, which is in contrast to a stylized studio session where the lighting may require specific posing.
• Weather-Proof
  When we’re indoors, there’s no worrying about rain, snow, or extreme hot or cold temperatures, which we have the potential to encounter with an outdoor session.

“But what if…” – Addressing Common Concerns

• “My home isn’t Pinterest-perfect!”
  That’s okay! The focus is on you, and I’ll guide you on using the best spaces based on the light more than the decor and contents of your home.
• “What about lighting? My house isn’t very bright!”
  I bring expertise in working with natural light and can suggest ways to enhance it when needed. You’ll be surprised how we can use even the smallest windows to create stunning photos!
• “My home is small!”
  We only need a few cozy spots, and I can use strategic angles and compositions to create magic. Besides, a cozy feeling is not a bad thing!
• “The baby’s room isn’t ready!”
  No problem! We can shoot in your bedroom, living room, or other areas of your home, or even document the “work in progress” which would fun to look back on years later.

What to Expect During Your In-Home Maternity Session

• Wardrobe & Styling
  I’ll provide you with a Pinterest link and a guide and can even help you choose over Facetime, or through photos you send me! Keep it fairly casual, and dress similarly to how you would normally. (But maybe skip the sweats if that’s your daily attire!) A maxi dress or maternity jeans are great!
• Session Flow
  There’s no set structure to these sessions, I’ll just guide you as needed to help create natural looking interactions. I may ask you to turn your face or body, or move in a certain direction in order to get the most flattering light and angles, otherwise just relax and enjoy this time.
• Including Family & Pets
  We want to include everyone, so if you have a partner, other kids, or a family pet (or 5) we’ll be sure to get some photos with them too.
