Benefits of In-Home Newborn Photography

  • Comfort and Convenience

Choosing an in-home newborn photography session means you don’t have to worry about packing up and traveling with your newborn. If you have more children or a toddler that naps, then we can always schedule your session at a convenient time that works for you and your family. Also, the familiarity of your home provides a relaxing environment for both you and your baby and the rest of your family. I basically bring a studio to the comfort of your own home.

  • Personalized Experience

In-home sessions allow for a more personalized experience. You can incorporate meaningful props, heirlooms, your baby’s nursery and other personal spaces can be part of the shoot. Most sessions take place in the baby nursery, living room and bedrooms. Any special area of your home with great light works!

Another great advantage of an in-home session is that your pets can also be part of the photo session! It is always so much fun when they can also be part of the session.

What to Expect During Your Newborn Photography Session

  • Session Details

A lifestyle session lasts about 1.5 hours and a posed session usually lasts between 3-4 hours, depending on your baby’s mood that day, how many different setups we achieve and the time invested in the family/sibling portion of the session. My sessions are never rushed, so for me it is essential to capture as much as we can. A day before your session i always reach out to go over minimal prep for the day of the session.

  • Preparing for the Newborn Session

You just had a baby, i been there. Your home does not have to look like it was just photographed for a design magazine. Make sure that the areas that we will be using are tidy up and free of distractions.

If you are wanting a posed newborn session with props, a few weeks before the session we will go over your favorite props, themes you might like, and the colors you would like to use. If you want to incorporate any sentimental pieces you are more than welcome to include them in your session.

Just tidy up the night stands and we are good to go.

An in-home posed newborn photography session generally lasts between 2-4 hours and a lifestyle newborn session lasts about 1.5 hours.
