Newborn lifestyle sessions: take place in your home, place of birth, or any preferred location.  The session is 1.5-2 hours and is a mixture of candid and posed portraits.  Every session is unique and the experience is tailored for each client.

In-home location: This in-home session was shot in the baby's beautiful nursery, in the master bedroom, and in the family room.  As we work in each room, I make any necessary adjustments to lighting and furniture placement for optimal framing of the moment through the lens.  Natural light is leveraged where possible with lighting set-up as needed.

Use of props: Minimal props are used in lifestyle sessions however I do bring some neutral wraps and tiebacks (for girls) for optional swaddled shots and may bring some props upon request.  

Timing: Lifestyle newborn sessions can take place up to 3 months after birth however the recommended timeframe follows the same as studio sessions at 5-14 days for the sleepiest shots.  For this session, the baby 3-4 weeks old and more awake so we got to capture some beautiful awake shots!  Sessions take place during the day for the best natural light.
