Hey there, fellow Wausau residents! As a local photographer, I often receive inquiries from clients who are interested in having a photo session in the comfort of their own home. These sessions are great for all kinds of sessions! From couples & engagement sessions, to maternity and newborn, even family sessions! And let me tell you, there's something truly special about capturing moments in the place where you feel most at ease. But before you schedule an in-home session, there are a few things you should know. Let's dive in!

Your Home, Your Story

One of the biggest advantages of having a photographer come to your home is that it allows us to capture the essence of your unique story. Your home is a reflection of who you are—it's where you laugh, love, and create memories with your loved ones. By choosing to have your session at home, you're inviting us into your world and giving us the opportunity to capture the beauty of your everyday life. We are capturing your memories where so many of your memories have been made.

Comfort and Convenience

Another benefit of an in-home session is the comfort and convenience it offers. There's no need to worry about traveling to a specific location or dealing with unfamiliar surroundings. There is no worry if the Wisconsin weather will cooperate. Instead, you can relax and be yourself in the comfort of your own home.

Telling Your Story

In home photo sessions are great to tell your story. It’s a glimpse into this chapter of your lives that you will love to look back on. Whether it's cuddling up on the couch, baking cookies in the kitchen, or playing games in the backyard, we'll capture those genuine moments that truly reflect who you are as a family or a couple.

Personalized Experience

Having a photographer come to your home also allows for a more personalized experience. We can incorporate meaningful elements from your home into the photos, such as your favorite furniture, decor, or even beloved pets. These personal touches add depth and meaning to your photos, creating images that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Preparing Your Home

Before your in-home session, there are a few things you can do to ensure everything goes smoothly. First know every home can be used for an in home session. You do not need a Pinterest home or the most spotless home to have an in home photo session. A very simple tidying up the areas where you'll be shooting, such as the living room, bedrooms, and outdoor spaces. Decluttering surfaces and removing any distracting objects will help create a clean and visually appealing backdrop for your photos. If you want, consider adding personal touches like fresh flowers, cozy blankets, or meaningful decor to enhance the ambiance of your home.

Trusting Your Photographer

Finally, it's important to trust your photographer and communicate your vision for the session. A good photographer will work closely with you to ensure that your vision comes to life and that you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. My portfolio is full of in home sessions because they hold such a dear place in my heart. I know how to work in all kinds of spaces and make them feel like they were meant for this kind of session. You will never regret capturing your memories in your space.

So, if you're considering booking an in-home session, I hope this post has provided some valuable insights and inspiration. Your home is where your heart is, and having a photographer come to your home allows us to capture the moments and memories that matter most.
