Capture memories that you will cherish forever in the comfort of your home.
The goal of this session is to capture the love and connection that you have for your baby. You can expect to enjoy intimate, peaceful moments snuggling your new addition. My lifestyle newborn sessions take place in your home, usually using the living room, nursery, and master bedroom.
Extra time is allotted to carefully navigate feedings, changes, siblings, and whatever else may arise. Expect your session to run about two hours for your so your family can relax and enjoy our time together.
Make a cup of coffee,
laugh with your kiddos, put on some music, sneak some kisses.
These are all great examples of how to spend your session. We want it to look and feel like a normal day at your house. Mom, Dad, siblings, and even animals will all be included in this session with the focus on your new bundle of joy.
Unnatural newborn poses are not something you can expect from your session. I like to keep things as natural as possible. This means I will capture you snuggling, loving and interacting with your child. If your new little one has older siblings, that interaction will be captured as well!
When preparing for the session, do not stress over making sure the house is spotless. You have a new baby to focus on! I can push things out of the way if necessary to make the house look tidy in the pictures. I may also move furniture if necessary for a shot but I will put it back when finished. I do rely on window light for my sessions, so open blinds and curtains are very helpful. I would suggest having your bed made in advance.
As far as wardrobe, keep it simple and comfortable. Neutral, light (creams, neutrals, earth tones) work well as they don't take away from your beautiful baby. If you are nursing, keep your wardrobe in mind to make it as easy as possible to feed baby mid-session. I do offer different color wraps and accessories and am happy to wrap baby for you!
It is helpful to feed your baby right before I arrive so that they are full and ready to snuggle. Do not get upset if your baby is fussy or needs a break for feedings or changes. It is completely expected! I am more than happy to swaddle and comfort baby to sleep after their feedings. Your only job is to connect with baby while I capture images that you will adore forever.
