Lifestyle Newborn Sessions


Newborn lifestyle sessions ideally take place ideally when the baby is between 5-21 days old, but we can still do a "newborn" session for those older than a few weeks too - they will just be more awake for the session. Newborn sessions can be done either in my home studio or in your home - or even outdoors! These sessions don't have a time limit - we follow baby's cues and allow time for soothing, feeding and diaper changes. On average, the sessions take anywhere from 1-2 hours. First we start by making sure the baby is well fed, changed and comfortable. Then I take over and swaddle the baby and help the baby settle into sleep. Once the baby is asleep, we start with solo shots of baby, then add the rest of the family.
