Lifestyle Newborn Photography – Jennifer Beal Photography
Lifestyle Newborn Photography Session
Those first sweet days with your newborn are precious. You are all checking each other out and figuring out the new family dynamics. It’s the perfect time to have a family photo session. There are so many sweet moments that you’ll want to remember. From their tiny toes to their sweet little face to the way they feel in your arms, we will capture all the newborn goodness. Lifestyle newborn photography sessions take place in your home usually during the first month that your newborn is home.
What To Wear For My Newborn Session
This is one of the most asked questions for any photo session. My number one answer is always something that you feel comfortable wearing that also makes you feel beautiful. For newborn sessions that’s emphasized even more. You’ve just participated in the incredibly difficult and amazing miracle of giving birth. Wear something that you feel like wearing and that you fit into comfortably. If you don’t feel comfortable that will show in your images. Some families prefer to wear loungewear. Some prefer to dress up. I would avoid bright colors and shirts with writing which may detract from your sweet newborn.
What To Expect During Newborn Session
Once you have delivered your baby, let me know so that I can get you on my calendar within the first few weeks of having your newborn home. Mornings are usually the best time for everybody and lighting. It helps to start the session with your baby having a full tummy and a dry diaper. Once I arrive I will have a look around your house for the area with the best lighting. Don’t worry. I may move furniture around or items out of the way but I will put them back. Often there is one area of the home that has the best light and that’s the spot we will use. There is no need to worry about having your house spotless. I will find the area we need to be in and make that work. So relax and enjoy your newborn. Newborn sessions can take 1-3 hours depending on how often baby needs to eat or gets fussy. Lifestyle newborn photography lends itself to images of a sleeping or awake newborn. The most important thing during the session is following baby’s lead.
