Lifestyle Newborn Photography.
What is Lifestyle Newborn Photography?
Lifestyle Newborn Photography means that the photographer is intentionally departing from posed portraits (think baby in an unnatural position in a basket) to instead pursue authentic and emotional images.
A Lifestyle Newborn photographer goes a bit deeper to immortalize what it’s like to have a newborn baby. This style is not simply a depiction of what the newborn baby looks like posed in a location, it is an effort to preserve an emotion and a very unique season of a growing family.
Lifestyle Newborn Photography focuses on connection and family interaction, allowing the photographer to capture this moment in time for the family in a more profound way.
This style of newborn photography most often takes place in the family’s home without props or artificial light. These photo sessions can be scheduled any time of year and in any style of home.

Newborn FAQs.
-
Most of my expecting parents reach out to me before their baby has arrived. At that point I pencil in your due date on my calendar and wait to hear from you after the baby has arrived. At that time we choose a date that works best for your new or growing family.
That said, it is never too late to contact me. So, if your baby is already here, simply contact me and I will do my best to get your session on my schedule.

My style of newborn photography is called, Lifestyle Newborn Photography. What that basically means is that I will be doing very little fixed posing and instead I use what is referred to as baby-led posing. I capture the normal routine of baby life in your family, mixed with lots of snuggles and proud smiles. I focus on the family connection and love.

There are photographers who want you to have your newborn photos captured in the first ten days after arrival; that’s not me so much. I am happy to do a newborn style photo session at any point in the newborn season. That said, they do change a lot in the first few week and grow very quickly. I would suggest trying to get the session on the calendar before the baby is three months old, just to capture that newborn adorableness.

I personally believe that home based newborn sessions are safer and more comfortable for everyone involved. Additionally, when young siblings are involved in your photo session it’s important to give them a comfortable space to retreat from the photo time, as they sometimes get bored or overwhelmed. While I’m willing and able to offer a beautiful and comfortable loft studio space for newborn sessions, I very much prefer to shoot in your home.

While I am with you in your home, your family and your baby’s health and safety are of the highest importance to me. I am vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19 but I also wear a mask to protect against RSV and other droplet based illness.
