When you think of newborn photography, you may often think of studio sessions, where baby is wrapped and propped. Lifestyle newborn photos, on the other hand, offer the entire family a chance to bask in the newborn bliss and freeze those moments forever. Want to see an example of a real in-home session? Check out Benjamin’s session here! Ever wonder what kind of photos we capture during your newborn photos? These are 8 shots we get at every session:

1. Heirloom or personalized items

If you’ve selected special details for your baby, or have been given your own baby items, we can make sure you have the photographs to cherish them forever.

2. Just baby

The star of the show! We get a variety of photos of baby in places like their crib, your bed, or my Moses basket with swaddles. Many of my families are either in between moves, or don’t have a nursery prepared. I come to you with a basket and swaddles so there’s one less thing you need to worry about!

3. Tiny baby details

Tiny toes, fingers, hair, and nose. We document it all because babies don’t keep.

4. Baby with siblings

If you have other children (or pets!), the growing bond between your babies makes for tender memories.

5. Baby with just dad

Proud dads and their little babies are my favorite!

6. Baby with just mom

You’ve quite literally transformed to bring this precious human into the world. We celebrate and honor your sacred bond with intimate photos of you and your little one.

7. Mom + dad with baby

If you have other children, we make sure to snap just a few of the two of you with your newest little love.

8. The whole family

• Arguably, my favorite aspect of lifestyle newborn photos. Your whole family, in this fresh new season of life, is a treasure that only increases with value in time. Photos that will remind you that these ARE the days.
