An Autumn Family Lifestyle Photoshoot by Kids Photographer, Tilly Nelson

A family lifestyle shoot photographed on a cold sunny Autumn morning in Vancouver, BC for Family Management Agency. I think sometimes the family lifestyle work we want to see used commercially is the moments that most of us have but no one gets to capture. We want to see those dreamy moments of real laughter and joy and when the sun is hitting our faces. So we planned this shoot for 7am, when the light was just starting to peak through and the leaves were just about to fall. We planned for posed orchestrated moments followed by family chaotic joy. And actually this is where I shine as a photographer, it’s the moments just after the planned ones that I love and it’s those ones that people seem to connect with.

I can see a shoot like this as a commecial advertising campaign for for Canadian Tire as a way to sell family bikes. Or maybe as part of a campaign to advertise saving plans for your bank. Something that wants to show the importance of getting outside with your family.
