Cozy at home: lifestyle newborn sessions
Bringing home a new baby is messy and magical all at once. The days blur together in a rhythm of snuggles, feedings, naps (and let’s be honest—diaper changes and coffee refills). It’s beautiful because it’s real. And that’s exactly what I believe your newborn photos should capture. Instead of posing every tiny detail, lifestyle in-home sessions are about documenting your family just as you are—right there in the place where love already lives. Don't get me wrong, I want you to dress up (a little) and I'll give you plenty of direction, but my goal is to capture the snuggles and the preciousness of your newborn in your arms.
Why I Love In-Home Newborn Sessions:
- It’s Your Real Life... and That’s Beautiful. There’s something sacred about photographing you in your own space—the couch where you rock them, the nursery you poured your heart into, the sunlight that fills the room during those early mornings.
- It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.
- No Stress, No Rush. At home, there’s no pressure to make the baby "behave" or to rush through a schedule. We move slowly. We pause for feedings, diaper changes, snack breaks for big siblings. It’s all part of the story—and some of the sweetest moments happen in between.
- Every Photo Feels Personal. When you look back years from now, you won’t just see how tiny their toes were—you’ll remember what it felt like to be home together for the very first time.
- Your photos won’t just be beautiful—they’ll be deeply yours.
What to Expect During Your Lifestyle Newborn Session
Relaxed Timing: Sessions typically last about 1–2 hours to allow for a natural, unhurried pace.
Gentle Direction: I’ll offer simple prompts (like cuddling on the couch or playing with baby's toes), but nothing stiff or overly posed.
A Story, Not Just Photos: I focus on capturing your connection—tiny details, candid smiles, sleepy snuggles, and all the love you feel but can’t always put into words.
No perfect moment
You don’t have to wait for the perfect moment or the "right" time to document your story. This—the real, tender, chaotic, beautiful beginning—is already enough. If you’re expecting a little one and want to capture the magic of those first days at home.
