What is lifestyle newborn photography?
Why choose to have a lifestyle photography session?
A lifestyle newborn photography session is a relaxed and natural way of capturing your new arrival in the comfortable environment of your own home. It’s all about showcasing that special connection between parents, siblings and of course, your beautiful new baby. It’s a no stress option as you don’t even have to get out the door! Don’t worry if baby cries, needs a feed or needs a nappy change, it’s super relaxed and we will get what we need. I’ll keep clicking in these moments, they are all so precious.
Lifestyle newborn photography uses gentle guiding in the areas of your home with the best natural light, to capture love and emotion. I don’t like to call it posing, and I will never ask you to look at the camera and say cheese. I just want to create opportunities for delicate and real moments. Rooms that tend to work well for this type of session are the nursery, the master bedroom or the living area. Please, don’t think you need a show home for beautiful images. It’s all about YOU in YOUR environment.
It’s a lovely way to get siblings involved, they are always confident in their own homes meaning we get to see their cheeky personalities. I always advise we get those pictures first, so they can head off and play while we do the rest. I would also advise having a family member or friend over to help look after siblings while we get the photos of baby with parents alone.
It’s really relaxed!
I want to capture your story. Imagine looking back and seeing how each family member has grown (too big) and remembering how small your baby was in your arms. I want the images to take you back to a moment in time.
Get in touch to book a session. I’d love to hear from you :)
