Point Roadknight Beach - Family Lifestyle Session

I put a post up on my two social media sites, Sally McCann Photography Facebook page and @smp_sallymccannphotography Instagram page stating that I had come to the decision that I was no longer going to photograph families outdoors, but with the intention on focusing on more studio portraits of children, families and more glamorous portraits for the everyday woman and man.  I asked my lovely social followers a question of which I received quite a good response from...

"If you were given a choice to have photos taken of your family - what would your preference be? Outdoor family lifestyle or indoor styled... what would work best for your family?"

I received about 30+ responses from both Facebook and Instagram pages all with pretty much the same answer... families, especially those with younger children, would be more likely to have an outdoor session where the photographer can capture more of a 'lifestyle feel' and not 'staged portraits.    Which after photographing this last lifestyle session - I totally get!  

I have an almost 2 year old little girl, and I know that at some point I'm going to want to have photos captured as a family and I will want them taken in an outdoors location.  I can take portraits of my daughter and our family, which I have successfully done myself, but I cannot capture a lifestyle session for my own family, it's impossible.

I'm saying it now crew - YOU WERE RIGHT AND I WAS WRONG!!!  So because of you, my followers, the beautiful people that keep me going, and keep supporting me through every post, I am going to continue on with capturing my families in a lifestyle setting.  

I will be creating packages for those that are interested... All packages will include a web-based stills video, like the one below, of your session that you will be able to share on Facebook with all of your friends and family.  It's not something that can be 'downloaded' at this stage, it's purely there for your enjoyment on social media.  

If you would like to finally make some memories with your family and more information on having a session, now is the time to enquire while the weather is still on our side!

Big love
