What is a lifestyle newborn session?
In-home newborn lifestyle sessions are about documenting the connection and love that is shared for the new baby. Capturing special moments with each family member and the baby as well as the family all together. There will also be time for photos of the baby alone; these are usually done when the baby is sleepiest. I take photos of babies swaddled or undressed and they are posed in a way you'd find them naturally.
Where will we shoot?
The session will take place in your home, using various rooms. We will mostly use your living room, nursery, and master bedroom. I ask that you open the blinds/curtains to let in as much light as possible. I will normally rearrange a bit, or move distracting items out of the way if need be. Neutral colored comforter or quilt on the master bedroom bed looks best. Kitchens are also a fun place for photos whether is a fun bath in the sink, or baking cookies.
How can I make sure my baby is comfortable and cooperative during the shoot?
Newborns are unpredictable and this shoot is all about them. Do not worry about your baby crying or needing to eat during the shoot—newborn sessions are purposely longer to allow for plenty of breaks, feedings and even diaper/outfit changes. It’s usually a good idea to try and feed your baby right before the session so they’re sleepy and content.
What should we wear?
I recommend keeping it simple and comfortable. Neutral, light (creams, whites, grays, navy, rust) work best as they don't take away from the natural beauty of your baby. Moms could wear leggings and a chunky sweater, with a messy bun. Dad could wear a neutral plain t-shirt (no polos) and some sweat pants or shorts.
What should the baby wear?
I prefer babies dressed very simply in plain onesies, muslin swaddles, or just diaper - whatever their comfort level is. Large bows, patterned onesies can be very distracting, and take the attention away from the baby.
Do you use props or specialize in stylized newborn poses?
The style of newborn photography that I specialize in is lifestyle sessions. Rather than posed newborn shots, I love to capture the relationship between the new baby and his/her parents and siblings. This doesn’t mean that I won’t take individual photographs of the baby and capture some great detail shots of his/her little toes and fingers. Feel free to incorporate any special family quilts, heirlooms or baby blankets that you would like to use in the photos.
How long are these sessions?
A typical lifestyle newborn session takes 1-2.5 hours. When it comes to a newborn session, the baby is in charge, so we allow time to enough feeding and diaper changing breaks. Once I feel like I’ve got all the shots we needed, I will head out and give you back your home and send you some beautiful sneak peeks within 24 hours.
