Ny & CT Newborn Photographer
All of my newborn photo sessions are lifestyle sessions. They focus on family connections in the comfort of YOUR space. I do offer guidance with minimal poses for optimal lighting in a setting unique to your family. This style of photography allows you to naturally interact with each other to capture real time moments to remember forever. I do not "pose" the baby but my best to find areas to place them for natural light to capture all the tiny details.
IS A LIFESTYLE NEWBORN SESSION RIGHT FOR YOUR FAMLY?
- You desire natural, candid moments captured during this special time in your life.
- You do no want to feel overly posed
- You want connections between family members/ pets to be documented in your natural environment.
- You want to stay in the comfort your home.
WHERE ARE THESE SESSIONS LOCATED?
In-home lifestyle newborn sessions are just how they sound – all the photos are taken in your own home, typically involving baby’s nursery, your living room, parents bedroom (anywhere with good natural light). They’re meant to capture life in your home as it is in this moment: full of excitement, joy and so much love.
WHAT TO EXPECT THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION?
These sessions usually last from 1 to 2 hours. The sessions tend to take longer if a baby is having a fussy/ unsettled day. Breaks can also be taken through the session if a little one needs diaper changes, feedings, or soothing. So I don't rush--because baby runs the show and we follow suit and pivot as needed.
Lifestyle sessions are laid back, by nature, so we are able to be relaxed and take our time.
WHEN SHOULD YOU PLAN TO BOOK?
I recommend booking at the beginning of your second trimester to ensure you get on my calendar because I only take a certain number of newborn sessions a month to account for actual due dates not being predictable.
We will have a tentative date on the calendar for 7-14 days after your due date. This is important because I like to shoot when baby is still in the womb-like stage and very sleepy. This timeframe can be extended if you would like your baby documented a little older because this is YOUR lifestyle session.
After your baby arrives, I like to have my Mama's email me, that way we can adjust the date for our session, if needed.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR SESSION?
I post a sneak peek on my social media (make sure you follow me!) within the first week. I'll be honest- as a Mama, life can be busy and unpredictable. I guarantee your edited images delivered within 3 weeks. You will be able to download your entire album and decide how you would like to use them.
