There is something so sweet about the realness of lifestyle family portraits in the home
Brigitta reached out about photos because she and her wife, Janine, recently celebrated their 5 year anniversary and wanted family portraits that reflected their life as it’s unfolded over these last several years. When she mentioned they wanted to do portraits at home, I was super excited, because I love in-home lifestyle family portraits! For one, lifestyle family portraits are less about getting the kids to act in ways that feel unnatural to them (sitting still for instance), and two, they’re a beautiful way to celebrate something more akin to day to day life with your family and your little ones. For Brigitta & Janine, that included their 3 kiddos, ZZ, Sagan, and Fletcher, the kids’ au pair Pertunia, and Meeko, their older doggo (3 cats not pictured, because new humans are scary - fair enough kitties, fair enough!).
The moments captured were unscripted, joyful, and most of all, reflected the beauty of everyday life for this lovely family!
