Kiernen and Parker got cozy for their Lifestyle Engagement Session in Winston Salem. What is a Lifestyle Engagement Session? Lifestyle photography in general is a way of capturing the ordinary moments of life in an extraordinary way. It seeks to document those casual moments and milestones of life. Therefore a Lifestyle Engagement Session captures the couple spending time together at home (or in this case, a studio). These sessions are more laid back and relaxed. There may be some posing, but also lots of prompts designed to elicit real emotions.

Is a Lifestyle Engagement Session Right for You?

We love engagement sessions with our couples for several reasons. One, it allows us to get to know you more as a couple. We can see your chemistry and how you interact with each other. We can get to know your likes and dislikes and what makes you both tick. Two, engagement sessions allow you to get to know us better. You will get a chance to see us in action and how we interact with each other and you. Third, engagement sessions are like a practice run for your wedding day. You will get to see a bit of our posing flow and how we coach our couples into looking their best.

So what makes a lifestyle engagement session different? With a regular engagement session, you may get all dressed up and go to your favorite place. You may want to travel and have an adventure. During a lifestyle session, you may just want to cozy up in your favorite spot – home. That doesn’t mean you can’t get dressed up or do something fun during your session, it just means you don’t have to go anywhere special to make the magic happen.

What if you like the look and feel of a lifestyle but don’t really want to do it in your own home? That is okay! Lifestyle sessions can take place in other cozy spaces. Kiernen and Parker’s lifestyle engagement session took place in Winston Salem at the GingerBirdie Studio. If a studio like this isn’t available to you, renting an Air BnB is another option. You can take it an extra step and turn it into a weekend getaway!

We're Josh & Alisha

Just two lovebirds, enjoying everyday life.

Photographers. Artists. Creatives. Parents to two. Nerds. Foodies. Lovers. Friends.

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! 

We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Alisha!

I'm so excited you're here! 

In addition to being a lady-boss photographer, I am a wife, a mom, a teacher and a follower of Jesus. Those things are the center of everything about who I am, what I do, and how I do it. That means I believe in how important family is, whether you are just starting your own, or are celebrating all of those special milestones. Josh and I have been married for over 12 years and photographing weddings and families for over 10 of those years. Our style has evolved over time, but we love capturing images that are bright, colorful, and tell the most important story - yours!

When we are not shooting, I love going on adventures with our two beautiful girls, trying new recipes, or catching up on my favorite shows with my hubby.

MORE ABOUT US

Hi! I'm Josh!

I want to capture your day!

Having the opportunity to live in a town as beautiful as Kernersville, NC is great. Being able to be here with Alisha is even better. I've been married over twelve years to the love of my life and for most of that time we have worked closely as wedding photographers. Because of this, we have a unique outlook on the wedding experience. Having the opportunity to find the joy and love in that special day and share it with you and your family and friends is the best thing about what I do. That's why I never miss getting a photo of the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time.

When I don't have a camera in my hands, I enjoy coffee dates and car-sushi with my bride, board games before bed, and binge watching Netflix.
