NEWBORN IN-HOME SESSION

Q1: What is lifestyle newborn photography?

Lifestyle newborn photography is a personalized approach capturing your baby and family in a natural, candid setting, focusing on genuine moments and connections rather than posed shots. It’s the perfect way to document those precious hazy newborn days!

Q2: Where will my Newborn session take place and how long will it last?

I’m photographing your new family as you are, where you feel most comfortable – at home. The session happens in the comfort of your home can certainly create a relaxed environment for both your baby and family.

The session should last approx. 60-90 minutes. For the families who just welcomed their fresh newborns, it will give you plenty of time to include some baby routines in the gallery, such as feeding, soothing, changing diapers or even taking a quick shower.

Q3: Will just the baby be photographed during the newborn session?

While the focus is on the newborn, I love including family members in the shots to document the complete story of this special time. I have two girls of my own, so I understand that the arrival of a new baby in the family is a significant change that can impact older siblings in various ways.

Furry friends are also welcome, and I would love to include them in the photoshoot!

Q4: What time shall we meet for the session?

The best time is undoubtedly during daylight hours. The soft, natural light that bathes your home during the day provides a gentle and flattering illumination, enhancing the warmth and authenticity of the photographs. For families with newborns, choosing a time after breakfast or when the little ones wake up from a short afternoon nap proves to be optimal. During these moments, the ambiance is tranquil, and the newborns are often at their most serene, allowing for genuine and heartwarming snapshots that beautifully encapsulate the essence of family life.

Q5: What should we wear for a Newborn session?

You may want to dress in what you would typically wear around the house on any given day. I encourage moms to opt for something comfortable and flowy. However, please be mindful of prints, logos, and bright colors, as these elements can distract attention from your family members.

Q6: Will you bring props or pose us at the Newborn session?

I'll usually don’t provide props for the session, because I opt for a natural approach and utilizing your home's surroundings.

Q7: What should I do to prepare the house for a Newborn session?

Clear some space near windows for natural light. Tidy up areas you'd like featured in the photos. No need for a deep clean; a lived-in feel adds charm.

Q8: What should I expect during a Newborn session?

Expect a relaxed, unhurried session focused on your family's unique dynamics. I'll guide you through the process, ensuring everyone feels comfortable.

You will be my only clients that day, and I will craft the photoshoot around you and your family’s flow. So we basically have no rush at all.

Q9: What if my baby doesn’t sleep during our Newborn session?

Unpredictability is part of the beauty, because our goal of the session is to be relaxed in your own space. No matter if your little one is sleeping or awake, we can always have so many shots captured the baby's personality and make for cherished memories.

Q10: When should I book my Newborn session?

Newborn sessions are typically happened when your child is between 5 days and 2 months old. So it's ideal to book during pregnancy, ensuring availability during the precious first weeks.
