It’s not just the people present that make a session run smoothly. The atmosphere plays a HUGE part in making sure the lifestyle photography we capture are life-long treasures. Being at the Ferguson home was a perfect setting for the day. family photography austin ferguson

When I first arrived at the house to check lighting, the kids were eating breakfast and completely at ease when it was time to get ready. That certainly helped set the tone for more sweet moments on camera, like little sister taking some of her first, wobbly steps and brother flying into the air while bouncing on his bed. Brushing your teeth or just snuggling up together may not seem like a big deal every day, but they really do make some of my favorite photographs. It’s these precious, seemingly small moments that create the images a family wants to keep for years to come.

One of the areas the family spends a lot of time is the backyard. We had a fairytale-like setting outside for candid photographs doing what they already love! Picking and watering flowers from the garden, along with painting got a little messy. Everyone had to subsequently shed a few layers, but it was well worth it for these shots of the simple joys they experience all the time.
