7 Reasons to Have Photos Taken in Your Home

Written By Rachel Ford

Family photos are a great way to capture memories and celebrate your family's story. While many people opt for outdoor or studio sessions, having family photos taken in your own home can be a wonderful alternative. Here are some reasons why you should consider having family photos taken at your own home:

It’s more personal - Your home is a reflection of your family's personality and style. Having photos taken in your own space allows you to personalise the images and create a unique look that is specific to your family.
It’s more convenient - Taking family photos at home is incredibly convenient. You don't have to worry about traveling to a location or finding parking. You can also take breaks and have access to all of the amenities of your home.
It can be more comfortable - Being in a familiar space can be comforting and calming for children, especially young ones who may be overwhelmed by a new location. You can also change outfits easily and take breaks as needed.
Creativity - Your home provides a wealth of opportunities for creativity and unique photos. You can use different rooms, lighting, and props to create a variety of images that showcase your family's personality.
Timeless memories - Your home is the place where your family spends most of their time, making it a natural backdrop for photos that will capture memories. When you look back at the images, you will be reminded of the love and warmth that your home brings.
Capture your home as well as your family - Over the months and years that we live in our homes, we slowly change things here and there. We forget how different our house looks from one year to the next as we add new furniture, paint walls and hang up art. When you have photos taken at home, you can look back and remember how different your home used to look.
Flexibility - Taking photos at home gives flexibility in terms of scheduling. You can choose a time that works best for your family, and if necessary, reschedule if someone is ill or if the weather isn't cooperating.
