Savoring the Sweetest Moments: Studio Lifestyle Newborn Photography

If you ask any parent to describe those first few weeks with a new baby, I would all but guarantee that while they will longingly remember the snuggles and the smell of their new baby as he/she rests nestled against their necks, many will also claim that this time now seems like a total blur. 

Between the overwhelming demand for nourishment and comfort around the clock and the demands of the outside world (or perhaps other little ones in the home), it can be challenging to recall these first precious moments with a new baby. Which is why I always encourage families to document this time so that they can look back and remember the magical moments that exist during this special time. 

There are two different styles of newborn photography (three if you count in home as separate from studio lifestyle portraiture), and while I adore the posed work that my friends create -- they truly are works of art as a result of incredible talent and patience-- my preference is to capture my families in my studio or their homes with a more lifestyle approach. 

To me, there are several benefits to choosing a lifestyle newborn photo session, and I'd love to share a few of those benefits with you today: 

1. Natural poses and candid moments: Unlike traditional posed sessions, a lifestyle newborn session focuses on capturing natural poses and candid moments between you, your baby, and your family, and this approach also happens to be my speciality. For me, by using gentle prompting or scene-setting, I can then help my families create authentic moments that better reflect how they naturally connect on their best of days. Which brings me to the next benefit of lifestyle newborn sessions...

2.  Comfortable and relaxed environment: A lifestyle session can take place in the comfort of your own home or my studio that is set up to mimic the comforts of home. This allows for you and your baby (and your partner and other kiddos) to relax and be comfortable in home environment. Snuggling, playing, rocking -- these are all actions that are naturally part of how families connect, and these can easily be incorporated into your images in a more natural environment.   

3. Personalized experience: A lifestyle newborn session is tailored to your family's unique personality and style. I help my families incorporate personal items and details and colors that are meaningful to them, which in turn helps create imagery that they want to display in their homes.

The images captured during a lifestyle newborn session are timeless memories that you and your family will use to return to a time that might otherwise be blurred by life's forward motion. They tell the story of your family's love during this special time and offer a unique and personalized photography experience that captures the natural connection you won't ever want to forget.
