Why Choose and In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Photo Session?
In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Photo Sessions are the perfect option for capturing beautiful and personalized moments in the familiar surroundings and comfort of your own home. They allow for a slow-paced and relaxed session, resulting in natural and candid portraits of your baby and family in your own cozy space. My goal as your Walnut Creek Newborn Photographer is to capture love, connection, sweet moments, and the small details of your baby that you’ll never want to forget. I’m here to help make sure your experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Comfort and Familiarity
In the cozy confines of your home, both you and your newborn can feel more at ease. The familiar environment promotes a sense of comfort, allowing for a relaxed session, following the pace of your baby and other family members. If you have other children, a home session is a wonderful option, as kids feel safe and secure in their familiar space. Siblings love giving their photographer a tour, showing off toys, and can relax comfortably or grab a snack during down-times in the photo session.
Personalized Setting
Your home is a reflection of your personality and style. Choosing an in-home newborn session allows you to incorporate personal touches and meaningful elements into the photos. Items such as grandma's handmade blanket, or the beautiful mobile your best friend gifted you. Maybe you just love the nursery you set up, or the cozy couch in your living room. This creates a unique backdrop that tells a story about your family.
Convenience for the New Parents
Adjusting to life with a newborn can be challenging. Bringing a photographer to your home eliminates the need to travel to a studio. Many parents love this so that they can focus on enjoying the moment without the added stress of traveling with their new little one.
Including Pets
If you have pets, an in-home newborn session is a wonderful way to incorporate them! This is another way to bring authenticity and personalization to your shoot. For many of us, pets are an important part of the family, after all.
Adds Variety
The home settings opens up the possibility for a variety of backgrounds and poses. From nursery details to cuddles on Mom and Dad's bed, there are so many options! This allows for a beautiful, diverse, and best of all, personalized gallery of newborn photos you'll treasure for years to come.
What to Expect and Things to Keep in Mind for your In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Photo Session with your Walnut Creek Newborn Photographer
I like to use naturally well-lit areas of your home. Typically families will use the living room, master bedroom, guest bedrooms, or baby’s nursery. Any room with nice window light is a great option. I will ask to open curtains and blinds, as well as turn off indoor lights, to take advantage of that beautiful natural window light.
Don’t worry if your home is small! Don't have a nursery? No problem! We just need some space to cuddle and some pockets of window light. As your Walnut Creek Newborn Photographer, I'm here to capture your family's precious moments with your baby, first and foremost.
You do NOT need to deep clean your home! All that is needed is to clear clutter from the areas we will be photographing. We are just trying to avoid messy backgrounds.
We will move throughout your home, photographing your baby with each parent, the entire family together, your baby alone, and details such as hands, feet, and face. In each area we use, I‘ll look for the best pockets of light, and help you with any minor staging and tidying. I‘ll help you pose and prompt you to cuddle, interact, and connect with your family to capture those beautiful and heartwarming moments.
Babies will be happiest with a full tummy and clean diaper. We’ll make sure this happens before we start, and take any necessary breaks during your session to tend to baby.
Your Story, Beautifully Captured
Opting for an In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session is the perfect way to encapsulate the essence of your family in the place you brought your baby home to. You'll treasure the timeless collection of photographs that tell the story of these fleeting first days with your newborn.
The result will be a beautiful and heartwarming gallery of this magical time, all captured in the home where you first became a family.
