What is a lifestyle newborn session?
A lifestyle newborn session captures natural, candid moments in the comfort of your home, focusing on the genuine interactions and emotions within your family.

When is the best time to schedule a lifestyle newborn session?
Ideally, lifestyle newborn sessions are best within the first two weeks after birth when your baby is still tiny and adjusting to their new surroundings.

How long does a lifestyle newborn session typically last?
A lifestyle newborn session usually lasts around 1 to 2 hours, allowing enough time for feeding, soothing, and capturing a variety of moments.

What should we wear for the session?
Wear comfortable, coordinating outfits that reflect your personal style. Soft, neutral tones often work well and keep the focus on your baby.  I always suggest trying to stay away from very bright colors and busy prints very everyone who will be joining in.

Can we include siblings and pets in the session?
Absolutely! Lifestyle sessions are all about capturing the whole family, including furry members and siblings, creating authentic and heartwarming memories.

Do we need to prepare our home for the session?
A bit of tidying up is helpful, but the goal is to capture your family in its natural state. Clearing clutter from the main living areas is usually sufficient.

What if my baby is fussy during the session?
Fussiness is completely normal, and we plan for it. The session is relaxed and flexible, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and capturing those calm moments.

Can we incorporate specific themes or props into the session?
While lifestyle sessions are generally more natural, we can discuss any specific ideas you have, and we'll work together to create a session that reflects your vision.

When will we receive our photos from the lifestyle newborn session?
You can expect a sneak peek shortly after the session, and the full gallery will be delivered within approximately two weeks.
