Engagement Session In The Comfort Of Your Home

Choosing an Engagement Session in-home can provide an entertaining and comfortable space to have your engagement photos taken. There is a childlike sense of fun in spending the day together enjoying all your favorite activities. Pillow fights in the loft bedroom under a peaked roof.  Playing chess by the woodstove. Nestled up on the couch together with the mountain breeze coming in through the windows and the sound of the nearby rushing creek. While you know i’m allll for putting on my hiking boots and going for an adventure in the mountains, there also something so sweet and special about capturing moments of just your ordinary days too.

This Engagement Session in-home has all the charm and childlike wonder wrapped up in one incredible photoshoot. Keep scrolling to see how opting for an in-home engagement session does not mean forsaking gorgeous photos.

Not worrying about the weather, check! Taking advantage of your home allows you the opportunity to focus more on the fun and less on all the details in getting out of the house on time and driving somewhere. Plus, you don’t have to worry about any one else being around or watching you! Not to mention it takes out all of the stress of including your dog in the session.

Now if you are saying to yourself you do not have time to deep clean your home or it does not yet have the vibes you are looking for there, is always another option. Whether you are traveling to a new destination together or have your eye on the beautiful local Airbnb’s this can also be a perfect “in-home” option too. Pro tip: look for ones with plenty of natural light!

Going on a trip or want a destination engagement session? Take advantage of the moment by documenting your trip inside one of the gorgeous Airbnb’s that you are staying in.

There are so many things you can do inside together, building a fire, enjoying a warm cup of coffee, snuggling your dogs. Whatever is reflective of your personality I want to embrace and have it shine in your images. Capturing what we think is ordinary day to day life can be a special moment to capture and a memory that we will always want to look back on.

It is not only about the epic mountain photos. I want to capture your authentic genuine day to day love too.

Some other things you can do together could be wine and charcuterie boards, playing board or card games together, baking your favorite sweet treat, running around the house with your dog, or even playing an instrument such as a guitar together.
