Most of my newborn sessions take place in my studio. Parents are typically looking for “posed” portraits of their newborn, and I love using my professional blankets/wraps/clothing to design looks & prop sets that meet (and hopefully exceed!) my clients’ expectations. But, I really do enjoy lifestyle newborn sessions as well, for the ability to capture real, candid family moments in the comforts of their own home.

In-home lifestyle sessions are perfect for larger families. I recently had a lifestyle newborn session with 2 big brothers. They were at the age where they were able to sit for just a minute or two at a time, which was great! We’d shoot, then they’d run around and play, then we’d shoot again. It was a perfect match for their interest & energy, and it didn’t hurt at all that the home had an abundance of natural light for us to bounce from room to room.


If you are expecting and are planning to book a newborn session, think about the style of photos you’d like to display in your home and what overall experience you’d like to have during the session. There are many pros to both in-studio and in-home sessions; reach out to me today to discuss the difference and see what is right for you!
