A new trend in portrait photography is called lifestyle portrait photography where people use mostly natural light to illuminate their subjects. I like the style very much but for as much as I try, I tend more toward a style that is much closer to heirloom, I think. I feel like it has a more timeless quality to it and though it's more challenging because you don't use natural light and have to understand how to do flash photography, I enjoy it very much. And it always helps when your customers have beautiful homes that lend themselves to classic settings.
This past weekend I did some portraits for a childhood friend of mine (all the way Pennsylvania!) and her portraits turned out gorgeous. She is surprising her hard-working husband who (conveniently) was working during her portrait appointment but I think the next portrait session he will get to be in the pictures as well as she is already talking about scheduling another session!
