What is Life style Photography?

I get this question a lot.

I thought I would share the some of the photos from one family lifestyle shoot.

Lifestyle Photography has taken on a whole life of its own the past 5 or so years.

It really meets our esthetics at Santa Barbara Photo Style.

We love capturing people in their element just being during these photo sessions.

To start: I told the mom to have her child in his jammies to begin, and then ended up having him change half way through.

At this photo shoot in particular, the little boy was sad when we were done with the shoot.

I had him jumping on his bed, playing with his cat etc, so it didn't feel like a job to him.

Our idea of Life style photography, is telling a story, and documenting a day in the life.

Less posed.

Less stress.

More authentic.

In the moment.
