Have you been wondering what exactly a lifestyle newborn session is? Well, let me tell you, it is one of the most relaxing and rewarding type of sessions! I love to photograph families at the comfort of their homes because I can get the most authentic and emotional expressions out of my clients. After following my “How to prepare for your Newborn Session” guide, parents are much less nervous and much more ready to enjoy the experience. My goal at this type of sessions is to capture the connection and love between the family members.

Newborns are unpredictable and we need to adjust to their rhythm.  Please do not worry about your baby crying or needing to eat during the shoot. Lifestyle newborn sessions are purposely longer to allow for plenty of breaks, feedings and diaper changes!  One of the main keys for  a successful session is to feed your baby right before the session so she is sleepy and content!

This lifestyle newborn session was absolutely a dream. I was truly honored to document their first portrait session as a family of three! The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing and I am so happy I could capture this special time in their lives! These photographs will show baby M how precious she was and how much love and happiness she brought to her parents. ❤️

I am so excited to share these images! Congratulations to this sweet parents as they welcomed their beautiful baby girl into their family. Hope you will cherish this images a life long! ❤️
