For those moments that pass by, all too quicklyLifestyle Newborn Sessions
Lifestyle newborn sessions are in my opinion, the best option for documenting those precious moments in life. The reason I whole heartedly believe this is because they are super chill.
They take place in your home or in a home feel of my studio (If you are too tired to clean because let’s face it, newborns are tiring, and you may not have the energy to tidy your house)
They are relaxed, allowing you time for feeding, snuggling and enjoying your time with baby.
They provide an intimate and personal feel to the images. They are real and natural (no poses, just documented with guidance)
Are relaxed with the timeline. (they can be taken any time within the first 4 months.
Sessions run up to 2 hours allowing time for feeding and changing or anything that may arise. Babies tend to have their own schedule.
My Approach
I document the raw beauty, emotion and family interaction of the sweet new baby with parents (siblings & pets too). We start the session with whatever the baby dictates. If they are being fussy at arrival, we start with snuggles, if not, solo shots. I always follow their lead. The most important thing during these sessions for me is that everyone is relaxed and enjoying their time.
The smallest details are the ones to remember, the tiny toes, how they hold onto your finger, and even how small they are wrapped in your arms.
During the session, I use natural light only, I don’t want to disturb the baby with my flash.But it’s ok if your home is small and doesn’t have lots of natural light, I always make it work. In most cases, the master bedroom is one of the best places to do the majority of the shots. Less is more, simple clean bedding and side tables clear of clutter and the sky is the limit for the session. Between that and the nursery you will be all set. I’m sure you planned the nursery to be just perfect, so it’s important to document your beautiful efforts along the way.
