Skip the Traditional: Why Lifestyle Newborn Sessions are Popular!

I am so excited to share my new Newborn Studio look that I now offer for families wanting Newborn Sessions. Many families are already overwhelmed once coming home from the hospital. The last thing they may want to do is prepare their home for professional photos. That is why I have now created a little photo space that looks cozy and is more lifestyle like. I still offer the traditional backdrop posing for families who want it!

I always give each family the choice of lifestyle or traditional newborn portraits or even a mixture of both! That can be done in my studio. My new set up features a neutral boho style bed and chair that works for both baby and families!

For more information regarding my newborn packages pricing please reach out.

I would love to chat about it XOXO

How to prepare for a Lifestyle Newborn Shoot! You just had a baby, discharged home and the photographer is showing up this week~ Yes, it can feel like a whirlwind of emotions leading up to the birth and afterwards. The most important thing is to RELAX. The house doesn’t need to be magazine ready, I can make any spot of any home look picture ready.

When to book:

The sooner the better with Newborn Portraits. Newborn photo dates fill up quickly and its best to get the date you want and no more stress of worrying. I also recommend Newborn photos to take place from day 5 to day 15 of life. Anytime after that is still possible. I also like to explain to parents that around the 1 month mark, babies are much more awake and aware of their surrounding. At this age its hard to settle down as quickly, and create those desired newborn poses.

When I’m traveling to your home, all I ask is a 4x4 window lit area if possible. This spot is where all the typical newborn shots and props take place. The more lifestyle aka candid shots take place in the living room, nursery and master bedroom. I alway say less clutter the better.

What to wear:

I’m a big fan of soft earthy neutral tones. Pick a neutral color pallet and have mom, dad and siblings pick a color to coordinate never match. Please don't show up with white shirts and blue jeans.. That look left with the 80’s;):)

I also recommend feeding the baby and keeping the house warm right before I arrive. This will create those sleepy vibes I need from the baby.

Boho Lifestyle Studio Set | Cleveland, Ohio | Mentor, Oh

Eek!! I’ve been planning and working on changing my studio space for a while now. I have been loving the new boho inspired look for a while and thought it would make a wonderful addition to both newborn and family sessions! Don’t get me wrong the traditional backdrops still have a their own place as well! I felt like I needed to create this new modern vibe that would also create a cozy relaxed space for families.

The space features the white bed and the oh so popular cocoon chair filled with boho accents and plants. This space will be given as an option during the newborn shoot. If you would still like the traditional backdrop poses done, that’s not problem.

The main reason for switching over to more a lifestyle look is it gives parent another option for photos. I love traveling to families homes for newborn shoots. But I also get it, you just had a baby, exhuasted and the last thing you feel like doing is getting your house ready for a photo shoot!

Take the stress away book the session for a newborn shoot at my in home studio. Please reach out for more information:)

Best,

Danelle
