Guess who just added a new spot in her studio for lifestyle newborn photo shoots?? This girl, right here! I am so excited to be offering this service to my clients. I will be able to capture real authentic moments. Even though they are in a studio setting. It is my hope you will feel at home and make yourselves comfortable. I’ll still be available to help you style the session with the studio wardrobe or you can wear something from home.
Most new parents want a lifestyle session in their own home but are overwhelmed with the thought of having their house spotless and they think it’s too much work. Who wants to have to declutter their space right after having a baby? Or make sure the nursery is completed and not in an upheaval state.
So no worries, I have you covered!! I have a special space all set up in my studio to look just like your bedroom and it even includes a mini crib for baby! We all know how much work it is bringing home a tiny little human and how your world and sleep have just turned upside down!
I will have the studio all warmed up and ready to go when you get here! The temperature is usually around 78-80 degrees to keep your little one comfortable while they are naked and being photographed. I have all the beautiful creamy and textured wraps plus beautiful headbands available. There is no need to bring a thing! The focus during the shoot is primarily to capture the interaction and love between the new baby and your family.

A few tips to help you prepare:
If possible, give the baby a little spa time with a warm bath and lotion treatment, this will help keep baby awake before the photoshoot. Don’t put the baby in anything that will have to be lifted over their head to take off for the session. And lastly, feed baby right before you leave your house, usually a sleepy baby + full tummy and car ride will help them be in a deep sleep when they arrive at the studio.
Don’t be worried if the baby is fussy at the session. I have a lot of tips and tricks that I will try and get baby comfortable and asleep. If they don’t work, no worries at all, we’ll take some time to relax and feed if needed so that she/he can settle.
I like to photograph babies wearing very little or nothing at all! I’ll swaddle the baby in soft fabrics. It warms up the baby and helps him/her to fall asleep.
Choosing a neutral color palette for your clothing will look best and keep the focus on the baby and your family, not the clothes. If you need help choosing what to wear, I’m always here to help!
Stay calm. Babies sense the worry parents are experiencing and can become more agitated.
Prepare to have your newborn photo session to last between 1.5-2 hours, depending on diaper changes and feedings.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you if you’re interested in booking a lifestyle newborn photo shoot!
