What is a lifestyle newborn session?

The style of newborn photography that I specialize in is called “Lifestyle”. My focus is to capture the natural relationship between you and your baby, including family photos, individual photos with each parent, both parents together and siblings.

Location:
Your newborn session will take place in the comfort of your own home. Examples include; in his/her nursery, master bedroom, and living room. We can also take some photos outdoors if the weather permits. All you need to do to prepare is open any blinds or curtains to let in as much light as possible.

What should I wear?
I recommend keeping it simple and comfortable. Neutral tones work best. I do encourage you to wear whatever you are most comfortable in and feel your best in!

How long are these sessions?
A typical lifestyle newborn session takes approximately 1-1.5 hours.

What can I do to prepare for the session?
I recommend feeding your baby as close to the start of our session as possible. This will ensure your baby has a full tummy and will usually help them fall and stay asleep for the duration of the session. It’s best to keep your baby in a diaper only wrapped in a warm soft blanket. This will allow an easy transition for wrapping your baby for the session.
