Lifestyle Newborn Photography
Your In-Home Newborn Session
Lifestyle Photography
Lifestyle newborn photography is a unique experience from studio/posed newborn photography. It is more relaxed and free flowing with a focus on simplicity, connection and storytelling. In these sessions, I have the opportunity to capture images of you and your newborn interacting naturally in your own home, while incorporating all the tiny details that make your family special.
The lifestyle portion of your session can be done in any room in your home. I tend to choose the room(s) with the best lighting and that feel most like home.
Family Room
There’s nothing like gathering the whole family on the couch for some cozy snuggles — it’s the perfect spot for those natural, love-filled moments.
Master Bedroom
The master bedroom always makes for a cozy, intimate backdrop — no need to tidy up! All we really need is the bed
Nursery
Did you pour your heart into decorating your baby’s nursery? Let’s document it! Those sweet details — the crib, the colors, the tiny touches — tell part of your baby’s story. And before long, your little one will have decorating ideas of their own :-)
Backyard
If the weather’s nice, we can always head outside and have some fun in the yard! Natural light and a little playtime make for the sweetest photos.
Remember, your session comes with both Lifestyle and Posed photos
We can always lean more heavily one way or the other, depending on your preference.

RESERVE YOUR SESSION IN ADVANCE
One of the great things about these sessions is that we can photograph your baby anytime in their first few weeks. But if you really want photos of your sweet new baby asleep and dreamy, then it's best to schedule your session within the first 6-15 days. If you're happy with more awake, interactive images of your new baby, a lifestyle session can take place anytime in the first several months.
Whenever possible, please try to reserve your session at least a month in advance so we'll have time to prep and plan. And don't worry, once you're on my schedule, we can always adjust the final date pending baby's arrival.
Want to see more?
Delivery dates are unpredictable. Don't worry, when we book your session the date is not set in stone. I am always available to reschedule pending baby's arrival. I rely on you to communicate with me as much as possible if your due date changes or as soon as possible if your baby comes early.
Yes! These photos are designed to capture you and your family in real life, as you are now, in this moment. I will guide you with a few simple things you can do to prepare your home, but the session is all about the connection between you and your baby, your home is just the backdrop.
Lifestyle newborn sessions can take place anytime in the first several months. With brand new babies we're able to focus more on posed portraits, while with older and more alert babies, we will focus more on family interaction. You're never too old for an in-home session!
