Memorable Mornings; Nostalgic Nights
Longform photo sessions are here to stay; serving families in a big wonderful way!
In the realm of family photography, there is a growing trend towards embracing the concept of full day sessions. These longer, more immersive experiences allow photographers to capture genuine moments and create a comprehensive visual narrative of a family's daily life.
That is exactly what we did with this sweet family of five; starting the perfect summer morning with chocolate croissants + coffee on their front porch while ending with a traditional family recipe dinner to celebrate their youngest’s birthday. Of course lots of play in between which just added to the fullness of the final imagery.
Longform family sessions are all about taking your time to document the unique dynamics and interactions within a family and their home. It goes beyond the traditional hour-long photo shoot, giving families the opportunity to relax and be themselves in front of the camera. By spending an entire day together, both the photographer and the family have ample time to build rapport and establish a comfortable atmosphere.
One of the advantages of full day sessions with Heartstring Heirlooms is that they can be split into two portions of the day if that feels like a better fit. This allows for flexibility in terms of location and activities as well as gifts a break for your littles to nap and maybe gear back up for company in the evening. A split session may look like capturing morning routines, breakfast time, and getting ready for school while the second part of the day might involve outings to parks, picnics, or simply spending quality time together at home after enjoying a favorite meal.
It’s no shock that this method of family photography is growing in popularity, by immersing themselves in these longer sessions, families are able to truly enjoy each other's company without feeling rushed or posed. This relaxed approach enables the photographer to capture natural emotions and candid moments that reflect their clients' true personalities.
Full day family photography provides an opportunity for not only stunning portraits but also a visual storytelling experience that encapsulates all aspects of daily life. It allows families to look back on these images years later and reminisce about those precious moments spent together – creating lasting memories frozen in time through beautiful photographs.
This particular day + night heirloom session was documented using a mix of various film stocks/cameras along with digital photography. If you’re interested in scheduling your own full day experience, get with Loreal about capturing the wonderfully mundane beauty of daily life.
