A “Day in the Life” portrait session at The New Children’s Museum

I love how these images turned out from the “Day in the Life” session at the New Children’s Museum!

Mom reached out to me and said that she wanted to do a family photo session but not at a traditional outdoor setting. She wanted a location where her family could play, explore and interact. She was looking for images that were not posed but more like a documentary style. She said that the kids love to go to the New Children’s Museum and I am so glad we chose this location. I love the playful, artistic and relaxed atmosphere this place offers. I hope these images will be cherished for years to come.

If you are interested in doing a mixture of traditional portraiture and a documentary style portrait session like this one, let’s talk! Here is another example of a “Day in the Life” portrait session where I visited a family home.

Enjoy!

A “Day in the Life” portrait session aims to capture the everyday moments and activities of a family. The goal is to document a typical day or a specific period in their life, highlighting their routines, interactions and emotions.

During a Day in the Life session, I spend several hours with a family. I become an observer, documenting the moments as they naturally unfold without much intervention or posing. The session can take place at a client’s home or any outdoor location, capturing their morning routine, meals, hobbies, interactions with family members or pets, work or school activities, and any other significant aspects of their daily life.

A “Day in the Life” portrait session offers a more personal and intimate perspective compared to traditional portrait sessions, which often focus on posed shots. The resulting photographs tell a story, and evoke emotions, capturing the unique experiences of the family.

These sessions are often cherished by the families as they provide a genuine and lasting documentation of their everyday lives, allowing them to look back and remember the details and emotions of that specific time period.
