Houston Newborn and Family Photographer | Studio vs. Lifestyle Sessions

As a Houston newborn and family photographer, I have the pleasure of providing two types of services for my clients: In Studio Sessions and Lifestyle Sessions. These two styles of photography provide totally different outcomes. If you have a session booked in the future, or if you are unsure of what to expect, here are the differences and similarities between in studio and lifestyle sessions:

Lifestyle Sessions

Lifestyle sessions are typically done in home, and include the whole family as the focus of the session. I love lifestyle sessions. They allow for more candid photographs, such as natural smiles, laughter, and play. This is a time for you and your family to go about spending time together in different ways. Meanwhile, I'm in the background capturing your raw emotions. Many activities can be done in the home during a lifestyle session. Such as playing a game, reading books, or even baking cookies! This is a great session if you and your loved ones are wanting to have real life moments documented.

Studio Sessions

In studio sessions, on the other hand, are a bit different. These sessions typically focus on newborn or small children, and tend to be more styled and posed. Working in the studio provides you with intimate photos of your kiddo. Like lifestyle sessions, your child can do what he/she does best...sleeping, playing, or even a cake smash experience. The difference is that this must be prepared in advance, rather than spur-of-the-moment. I love being able to make my client’s vision come true, so I try to prepare the best background and props to fit your preferred style!
Lifestyle and studio sessions both give you and your family a unique and stress free experience. There is nothing better than having wonderful memories of your family to cherish forever! If you would like to book a lifestyle or in studio session with Taryn Melgoza Photography, please click here!
