What is a Lifestyle Newborn Session | Cleveland, Ohio Photographer

What is a lifestyle Newborn Session? It basically means capturing those natural candid moments in the comforts of your own home. Even though I currently own my own studio and love doing studio work, still travel to people’s homes. It’s so fun to capture them in their own element. And especially during the winter after coming home from the hospital who wants to leave the house?

My lifestyle newborn sessions are a little different than other photographers. I still like to bring all of my wraps, accessories and props for those posed newborn shots plus the lifestyle shots. SO you are getting both sessions in your home! All I need is a small window lit area, usually a back slider works best and I can do about 90% of the posed and lifestyle shots. The other shots can be taken throughout your home if you would like. Places such as nursery, living room and master bedroom.

If you have more questions about my lifestyle photographer please reach out!

Capturing all the tiny details in Newborn Photography!

Cleveland Newborn Photographer

As your Cleveland Newborn Photographer I Love for you to leave the session with a wide variety of Portraits. This is including all the tiny little macro shots of those baby hairs, tiny toes and little finger nails. These precious little details are only here for so long and are worth documenting.

Capturing the details in newborn photography is essential for showcasing the beauty and uniqueness of each newborn. Newborns possess delicate features and tiny characteristics that can easily be overlooked — the soft curls of hair, the delicate eyelashes, the tiny fingers and toes, and even the unique patterns of their skin.

Here are my tips and tricks in creating those soft beautiful detailed shots!

  1. Close-Up Shots: I always use my macro lens and adjust the camera settings in order to get super close-ups of the newborn’s features. I like to focus on their eyes, lips, and a small hand clutching a finger. These shots create a connection and evoke emotion.

  2. Natural Light: Utilize soft natural light to enhance the softness of their skin. Early morning or late afternoon light can provide a warm glow that highlights the newborn's features without harsh shadows.

  3. Textures and Props: I like to Incorporate blankets, hats, or wraps with interesting textures. These props can create a sense of warmth and provide a pleasing contrast with the smoothness of the baby's skin, adding depth to the images. As you can see from my galleries, my images are very soft, light with an artistic point of view.

  4. Patience and Timing: Newborns often have unpredictable schedules. Allow ample time for breaks and changes in position. A calm environment will result in more natural and relaxed photographs, allowing you to capture those fleeting expressions and gestures.

  5. Editing: I take a lot of pride in my post processing editing. Each photo from every gallery is Hand Edited in order to provide nothing but the best for my families.

Newborn Photographer | Best Baby Photographer | Cleveland, Ohio | Northeast Ohio Photographer

The pops of gold and navy blue really made this sweet newborn session come to life. When preparing for your newborn session I usually recommend choosing a complimentary color palette as opposed to matching. The days of wearing all white and jeans are gone with the 90s. lol..

Today, choosing a coordinating color palette that is neutral in color but adds a little hint of color is best. I usually recommend neutral colors and no prints or stripes. This can be very busy to the eyes and we don’t want to take the focus off the baby.

For scheduling and more information for spring and summer 2023, please reach out. I only take so many clients each month and my schedule is filling.

Always worth the wait | Newborn Photography | Cleveland, Ohio | Lake County, Ohio

“Always worth the wait” is saying it in simple terms once your bundle of joy has finally arrived. Those 9 months of worry, waiting and anticipation quickly fades away once your sweet little one is place in your warm arms. Newborn photography has quickly become a favorite of mine over the years because of 4 children of my own I understand how quickly those younger (and exhausting) years take place. Honestly, a newborn only seems so itty bitty those first few weeks of life and before you know it they are a month old. A lot more alert, moving and possibly keeping you up at night;)

In regards to newborn photography I do offer a full signature session and my petite newborn session. My most popular package is by far the signature full session. This session is 2 hrs and takes place in my home studio. Due to Covid I have taken extreme caution and sanitation measures in order to keep everyone safe. With the full session, I recommend the photos take place within the first 2 weeks of life. At that age its easier for me to sooth and calm the back to sleep which is needed for some newborn posing.

If you are interested in scheduling a newborn session, please reach out for more detailed information.
