Real life. Real Moments. Real Connections.
A Lifestyle Newborn shoot is different from what is seen in much of newborn photography today. It is much more baby and much less props. Much more new innocence and much less new outfit. No baskets, few cute hats, not many bowls to pose the baby in.
I admire photographers who can make that sort of photography work well. There are geniuses who have made baby posing and propping a beautiful art form.
In my experience, however, my camera and I love the pure interaction between a Mother and her newborn baby (Dad can come too, of course), and I love the baby just as she is.
A Lifestyle Newborn session is not without planning, of course. It is not without favorite things, or even cute things. It is just very simple. There is usually a bed involved, the baby's crib, a rocking chair. The stuff from real life.
Typically a Lifestyle Newborn session takes place in your home. However, I do have some warm and cozy places available if shooting elsewhere works better (some homes have insufficient light or space for such a thing). I will typically come to your home before the baby is born to talk about location preferences.
If you are interested in a Lifestyle Newborn photo session, don't hesitate to contact me. Even with the limited number of sessions I am able to do, I can always find room for a fresh new person.
(PS - Lifestyle Newborn sessions get a generous discount, ask me about it!)
