Welcoming a new baby into your family is a beautiful, emotional, and often overwhelming experience. There's a lot of love-and a lot of newness-swirling through those first few weeks. That's why I created my Lifestyle Newborn Photography sessions to be as calm, gentle, and natural as possible, whether we're capturing your memories at home or in the studio.
These sessions are built to document your family's connection in the most authentic way, all while honoring your baby's rhythm and your family's comfot.
What is Lifestyle Newborn Photography?
Lifestyle newborn photography is about capturing the real, tender moments of your early days together. Because this is a "lifestyle" session there's no need for stiff poses or elaborate props. Instead, we focus on snuggles on the couch, quiet glances, baby stretches, and the joy (and chaos!) of siblings becoming big brothers or sisters.
I offer sessions either in your home or at the studio, typically scheduled within the first 13 days of life. That said, I always make space for flexibility. Some families need a little more time to settle in once their little one arrives Earthside.

What to Expect: A Calm and Intentional Experience
From the moment you book, I'll guide you through the process to make sure your session feels effortless.
Here's how it works:
Booking & Pre-Session Planning: Once you book, I review your questionnaire and reach out with any questions. I can guide you on outfit choices if you need help.
During the Session: We'll take our time. Breaks for feeding, diaper changes, or just a snuggle are built in. I'll gently direct your into comfortable, natural poses and look for sweet moments that unfold in the moment.
After the Session: I'll carefully edit your images and deliver your gallery about 2 weeks after your session. You'll be able to view and download your images. If you choose to order an album, I'll send a custom design for your approval, and we'll walk through any upgrades or special touches you'd like to include. This is a paragraph.

What to Wear For Your Newborn Session
The right wardrobe can help your photos feel timeless and cohesive. Here are some tips:
- Stick with neutrals: Creams, tans, soft pastels, and light grays photograph beautifully.
- Coordinate, don't match: Choose outfits that complement each other in tone and texture.
- Keep it simple: Avoid bold prints or logos. Choose soft, comfortable fabrics.
- Highlight baby: A neutral onesies or swaddle works best. We can add a pop of color with a headband, hat, or wrap.
- Include keepsakes: If you have a special blanket, letterboard, ultrasound prints, or family heirloom, bring it! These personal touches make your session truly unique.
