I was grabbing some candid shots of my dogs in the yard this past week, when nice weather set in for a day or two. I mean REALLY nice weather. Like almost 78 degrees. In April, in Pennsylvania, you never know what you are going to get weatherwise.
I realized while shooting that:
(1) I hadn't concentrated on my own pups in this way in a long time, and
(2) it's a much more satisfying thing for me with my own dogs--to capture them in their daily routines.

That's Talley, Luke and Lilah above (left to right), just hanging out doing their hanging out things. I think Lilah may have been trying to nap, sitting by her "safe spot" near the fence.
Lifestyle = What You Love To Do
Maybe you like to run with your dog. Or is it biking? Swimming? Sit around in a park? Go on picnics? Walk or hike trails?
Whatever you normally like to do in your life with your pet...well, that's lifestyle photography.
It's a much more natural, relaxed way of capturing the REAL moments with your pet...you know the ones you live on a daily basis. It's less posing and more doing.

Lifestyle = Comfort and Interaction
I find that clients are more comfortable DOING and interacting, than they are just posing, so I often explain that Lifestyle is one of the options they can choose when deciding on how they would like to remember the moment.
What to wear is simple: dress for the activity you want to encompass in your lifestyle session.

Where Do Lifestyle Sessions Happen?
Lifestyle sessions can take place where you and your pet are most comfortable. That might be in your home, your own backyard, a nearby park you always visit, or on a road you often walk, on a fishing dock, in a kayak--choose whatever it is you do with your pet regularly in your life.
It might even be bath day in your bathtub!

Wherever it takes place, there's one thing I know for sure...you will have fun, stay relaxed and have a much more natural end result geared to your own daily activities.
I also find that if you are looking for some phenomenal art work for your wall (see below), there is nothing like a relaxed photo of you and your pets, in an environment that you love!
