Providence RI Family Photography | In Home Lifestyle Session

I am sure I have said it before, but one of the things I love about storyteller sessions is getting to photograph families in their home and just telling the story of their lives.  Nothing fancy, nothing posed.  Just sweet loving families being themselves.  This family was certainly no exception.  Mom reached out to schedule her session just in time for her sweet boy’s first birthday in their home on the east side of Providence.  Now I have said (and firmly believe) that any home works for photo sessions.  But I do ADORE homes on the east side.  Most are much older with all of the features of an old home and this one did not disappoint.  A wonderful staircase and hallways with high ceilings that we made so much use of in their images!!  But the best part was the people inside the home.  We all know no matter how awesome the house if the people aren’t fun, it won’t work.

Thankfully, they were fantastic!!  We did fun images on mom and dad’s bed – which little kids always love – as well as some in his nursery.  If you can see it in the crib image, the picture above it was actually a painting of his dad with his dad.  I loved that little touch that we could include for them (and it’s something so personal you cannot get in a studio setting). We had so much fun in our time together.  Our session – and their resulting gallery – was full of laughs and smiles and book reading and tickling and crawling and flying.  We played games and sang silly songs and stopped for a snack when it was needed.  We bounced on ottomans and in cribs, crawled and drooled.  There were hugs and kisses, quiet moments and loud laughter filled ones.  All the fun things you want in your family photo session.
