Did you know I also offer
in-home lifestyle newborn sessions? This is the only way I photograph
newborns. Let me explain what a
lifestyle newborn session is! If you have well lit areas with natural light (big windows and not in a basement) then I will come to your house and photograph your
family and new
baby in the comfort of your home. What if you don't have a well-lit house? I would recommend doing them in a studio for an additional fee. Studios all over
Utah have beds and couches to use, with huge windows so the lighting is amazing! Some even have baby beds and cute blankets to use.
Here are 2 tips to make your experience better:
1. Declutter the areas you want to take pictures in.
2. Only choose 2-3 areas for pictures. The best places are typically your bedroom, nursery and livingroom. You don't need to limit it to that though, I've also done them in the hallway, kitchen, front porch, and kids bedrooms!

With
lifestyle sessions, the posing is limited, which explains the name! It's supposed to be you and your family in your natural
lifestyle. I do like to do posed shots on the bed or couch, but also love candid shots looking at and holding baby. The posing for baby is limited, too. I mostly swaddle and lay them on a blanket. Its pretty rare for a lifestyle session to have extensive posing like you would find in a newborn studio. If you want all those super cute bum-in-air, lots of props, head on hands poses, I would highly recommend finding a skilled newborn photographer! Safety of your newborn is of the utmost importance and finding someone who knows how to be SAFE is incredibly important.
This
in-home lifestyle newborn session was fun because we decided to do a few family shots outside, too! Little Zoey is the cutest thing, look at her dimple.
