Frequently Asked Questions
What is lifestyle photography, and how does it differ from other types of photography? +
Lifestyle photography is about capturing authentic, everyday moments in a way that feels warm and real – not posed or overly formal. At Kit Photography, we focus on imagery that tells your story and connects emotionally rather than just a polished portrait. This style differs from studio-style shoots or strict product photography because it emphasises context, environment, and genuine engagement. It helps your brand or personal image appear relatable, alive and true.
What types of lifestyle photography do you specialise in? +
We cover a broad spectrum of lifestyle photography tailored to different needs:
• Brand and personal-branding sessions that reflect your values
• Workplace and business environments showing real people at work
• Creative projects with products or services integrated naturally
• Outdoor, on-site or studio shoots depending on your story
Each session is designed to align with your purpose, whether it’s marketing, social media, or simply telling your narrative.
Can you capture both indoor and outdoor lifestyle photography sessions? +
Yes – we shoot in studio, your workplace, on location or outdoors. Whether you want the controlled lighting of an interior or the dynamic feel of natural environments, we’ll choose the setting that enhances your message and suits your brand identity. At Kit Photography we’re flexible and experienced in multiple environments to get the look you’re after.
How do you ensure my brand or personal style is reflected in the lifestyle photos? +
We begin by deep-diving into your brand’s tone, values and visual style. Then we plan your shoot to include settings, props, lighting, colour palettes and people that align with that. During the session we guide naturally, ensuring the mood, expressions and environment feel true to you. Post-production respects your aesthetic too, so the final images integrate seamlessly into your website, social channels or print materials.
Can lifestyle photography be used for social media marketing? +
Absolutely. Lifestyle photography creates rich visual content that works especially well for social media, websites, newsletters and campaigns. The images we produce are designed to feel authentic and shareable – helping you engage your audience, strengthen your brand presence and build visual consistency across platforms.
Do you provide styling or location recommendations for lifestyle shoots? +
Yes, we do. From selecting the right location to advising on styling, lighting and props – we can provide suggestions and plan the session for you. If required, we’ll recommend locations that complement your brand and help with wardrobe, colour, and scene selection. The aim is to make the shoot easy and ensure the outcome feels cohesive and purposeful.
What is your pricing for lifestyle photography, and how can I get a quote? +
Pricing depends on the scale and scope of your project – including number of people, locations, styling, amount of imagery required and usage. Simply get in touch with a few details about your vision and we will provide a tailored quote that outlines cost, deliverables and timeline.
How long does a typical lifestyle photography session last? +
Lifestyle shoots usually work best as a half-day or full-day session, giving us time to plan and capture a range of scenes. With elements like locations, talent, wardrobe, and hair and makeup involved, having more time ensures everything feels natural, well-paced, and true to your story.
What should I wear for a lifestyle photo session to achieve the best results? +
Here are some quick tips:
• Choose clothing that reflects your brand style and personality
• Avoid busy patterns that distract — solid or subtle textures work best
• Bring a couple of outfit options if scene changes or location shifts are involved
• Consider the environment (indoor, outdoor, lighting) and dress accordingly
We’ll chat beforehand too, so you feel confident and prepared when the day arrives.
What is the turnaround time for receiving the final lifestyle photos? +
Usually the edited images are delivered within 7 business days, with select preview images often available sooner. We’ll confirm timing when we quote, so you know when to expect your visuals and can plan for campaign or launch use.
Can you photograph lifestyle projects outside Melbourne? +
Yes – although based in Melbourne, we travel for lifestyle shoots throughout Victoria and interstate. If your project is regional, interstate or requires multiple locations, let us know. We’ll factor in travel and logistics early and include it in your quote.
Why should I choose Kit Photography for my lifestyle photography needs? +
Because we combine over 15 years of commercial photography experience with a friendly, people-first approach. At Kit Photography we believe the best lifestyle images come when you feel relaxed, real and connected. We know how to translate your brand or personality into visuals that engage. The result: images that are beautiful, authentic and ready to work hard for you.
