There’s nothing quite like those first few weeks with your newborn; the quiet moments, the sleepy cuddles, the tiny fingers that wrap around yours. A newborn lifestyle session captures this fleeting, magical chapter in the most natural and heartfelt way possible. Whether it’s posed studio portraits, or in the comfort of your home, my goal is to capture the real-life beauty of your baby’s earliest days.

What Is a Newborn Lifestyle Session?

A lifestyle session focuses on genuine connection and emotion rather than perfectly posed images. It’s about storytelling; the cozy snuggles on your couch, the way your baby fits just right in your arms, and the joy that fills your home as you adjust to life as a new family. These sessions are gentle, unhurried, and baby-led, allowing for plenty of feeding breaks, diaper changes, and time to settle in.

Why Choose Lifestyle Photography?

• Comfort of home: No need to pack up and travel, your session happens right where you feel most relaxed. Feel a studio session is more your style? Our studio offers that same comfortable, homey feel. Click here to view the Studio at 100.
  
• Authenticity: Every photo reflects your family’s real bond and personality.
  
• Timeless memories: The tiny nursery details, your favorite blanket, even the way sunlight filters through your living room; these are the moments you’ll want to remember.

When to Schedule Your Session

Lifestyle newborn sessions are typically done within the first two to three weeks after birth, but they can take place anytime in the first couple of months. 

We recommend your baby have an active morning and a full belly prior to their session. That way, once they are in front of the camera, they can drift away. However, since there’s no strict posing, your baby doesn’t have to be asleep the entire time; awake shots full of curiosity are just as precious.

How to Prepare

Don’t stress about having a “perfect” home. I’m there to capture the love and connection, not perfection. Choose neutral, comfortable clothing, tidy up one or two favorite spots with good light (like the nursery or master bedroom), and have any sentimental items ready. Perhaps a handmade blanket, a family heirloom, or a favorite book to read together.
