There is something so special about newborn sessions. Being able to capture the first weeks of a baby’s life is an amazing experience and feeling. I absolutely love lifestyle newborn sessions because it gives me an opportunity to showcase what’s typically only seen behind closed doors. I love the soft and delicate interactions between siblings. The loving looks and gentle holds that mom and dad give to their new baby. The quiet that can sometimes be pushed aside by the hustle and bustle of everyday responsibilities, can be captured in these few short minutes together.
Doing a lifestyle photo shoot can be done in your own home or at a studio here in Northern Utah. I love the homey feel and comfort that both of these locations bring. It is a warm environment so weather is never a factor. The natural light that comes in through the windows is the best light a photographer could ask for. It allows for an airy feeling and highlights beautiful natural color tones in your skin. I also love the clean poses that we can achieve too.
Typically I like to do newborn sessions close to 7-14 days after a baby is born. This allows recovery time for both baby and mother, while still having that fresh from heaven feel. This time frame can be adjusted to meet your personal needs. If baby needs to spend some time in the NICU or momma needs a little extra TLC, we can adjust for those types of things too. Newborns tend to be super sleepy which makes it so easy to photograph a snuggly bundle of love. Plus that new born baby smell…bottle that up and sell me some! Its literally the best thing ever!!
