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!

Lifestyle Newborn Sessions | Chagrin Falls Photographer | Danelle Joy Photography

When booking a newborn session it can be difficult with all the decisions that take place. Not only choosing the right style photographer you would like for the newborn portraits but also the type of photos. Most photographers offer newborn or in home newborn shoots. What is exactly the difference?

The traditional newborn portraits usually take in a studio and the in home newborn session take place in the comforts of your own home. When choosing a newborn portraits with me I do offer both sessions.

What do you get with each session?

With the newborn portraits, they take place in my studio and its combination of backdrop, props and “lifestyle” type photos in the lifestyle area of my studio. So you actually do get a unique combination of both!

For the in home session, when traveling to you. I bring my props, outfits and accessories needed for the shoot. The rest of the photos are taken wherever you would like in your home.

During your session, I'll capture special moments with each family member and the baby as well as the family all together. If siblings are involved, we usually take care of those photos first so that they can go and play during the rest of the session. There will also be time for photos of the baby alone; these are usually done when the baby is sleepiest. 

How can you prepare if I’m visiting your home?

I usually ask for a 4x4 space that is window lit. I usually use the back slider area of most homes. It brings in tons of light and enough room for the newborn portraits with props. The rest of the photos can take place either in your living room, bedroom or nursery.

For more information, please reach out and I’d be happy to answer any questions.
