Many families, after coming home with a newborn baby dread the idea of taking this new little life out into the world yet. For some, it's the idea of the germs they may be exposed to, for others it may be the idea of packing everything up you may need to leave the house. If the family as other children, packing for them to be gone a few hours as well may feel overwhelming. And they wonder...... can you do Newborn Photos at home? The answer is YES. Lifestyle newborn photograph

Not everyone knows what Lifestyle Newborn Photography is. Other than being my absolute favorite type of newborn photos, this type of photoshoot allows me to give you newborn photography at home. You don't have to pack up. Worry about snacks, change of clothes, if your toddler will behave, etc.. With a lifestyle newborn photography session, your local newborn photographer comes to you. It couldn't get much easier. Through the years, I have learned that families are more relaxe

Capturing beautiful and memorable newborn photographs at home requires careful planning and attention to detail. Here are the essentials of a lifestyle newborn photography session at home: 1. Communication with Parents: - Discuss expectations and preferences with the parents before the session. Make sure the parents have any items they want to include in the session ready. Often a sentimental item, treasured heirloom or just an outfit a specific family member gave to them

In January of 2020, I had many Fresh 48 photoshoots on my calendar. I was so excited for what the year would bring and how fresh 48 photos had become more popular. Of course, we all know what happened next. (Ugh) One of those Fresh 48 photography sessions was for this sweet family and their second baby girl. We pivoted and did a newborn session instead and their baby plan still turned out beautifully. So, when they were expecting baby girl number 3 we were all excited to be a

When you think of Newborn Photography you probably picture a photography studio set up with super posed babies in baskets and such. Or,...

Years ago, newborn photography wasn't a thing. Newborn photos at home were done by the family by the family with no understanding or lighting, posing, exactly HOW to create a beautiful image to cherish. Then, you had to pack up your newborn, and other kids if you had them, and travel to maybe JC Penney or Olan Mills if you wanted newborn photos. Then, newborn photographers came to the scene and had you come to their studio for beautiful newborn photos. BUT NOW.....now, lifes

Short answer? ABSOLUTELY. That little life is still so fresh and new. Newborn Photos at one month old just mean more eye contact and possibly more smiles. Also, you feel a little more comfortable with older siblings holding them at this age. I've done many photos for this sweet family and even though we did a Fresh 48 Newborn Photoshoot in the hospital, this sweet little girl's older siblings were not there. SO, a quick session at home made sure they had family photos of thei

ABSOLUTELY. Seriously, this family chose downtown Atlantic Beach, Florida for their newborn photoshoot and I LOVE it. The colors, the vibe, all of it. Wearing matching chuck taylors, walking brick sidewalks in the morning before it's busy. A mural of a chicken, glass garage door, all of it comes together for a beautiful newborn photography session. Though I do love when I get to do Lifestyle Newborn Photography at home for my clients. In their home with all the details of bri

It's always a celebration when a new life enters the world. Those first few hours, all the details, the feelings, they fly by. So, what do in hospital Fresh 48 Photos capture? Fresh 48 photography are done in the hospital (typically more like 24 hours after birth) and captures all those details. All the newness, sweetness of that little life. As a newborn photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida, these sessions have always had a hold on me. When 2020 happened an

They were your first children, even if they are a fur baby. We LOVE our pets. So, when you welcome a new addition to the family it's natural to want to include them in your newborn photoshoot. As a newborn photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida, I can you tell my answer when clients ask. YES. YES. YES. I love including pets in newborn photos, AS LONG AS WE CAN DO IT SAFELY. If that means, the dogs sit next to the crib, but not near the baby? Sometimes. But even

When a new baby arrives, life can get a bit crazy. Sometimes the idea of making sure everything is packed up, everyone is ready to drive to a studio for photos seems daunting. Add in toddler siblings and making sure snacks, toys and everything can come along, the idea of it all can sound exhausting. BUT, it doesn't have to be that way. Lifestyle Newborn Photography means the newborn photographer brings everything to you. You don't have to worry about diapers, milk, snacks, an

It's no secret if you have been following my photography blog for awhile, that I LOVE newborn photos. Especially, lifestyle newborn photoshoots in client's home.

When you're due date is close you begin to think about how you are going to take this little life in the car, keep up with feeing them, bathing, cleaning yourself, cleaning the house, sleep.....all of it. It can feel overwhelming, but what if I told you it didn't have to be. Newborn photography at home can alleviate many of those concerns. Ok, yes you have to feed the baby (& yourself), yes you have to bathe because it will make you feel SO much better, but the rest??? The re

I think since newborn photography has been a thing, people have always thought that newborn photos HAD to be done within 14 days after birth. Don't get me wrong, if you want sleepy baby, posed newborn photos, which is pretty true. BUT, since I prefer Lifestyle Newborn Photography this isn't true AT ALL. Even with an outdoor newborn photoshoot your baby can be older. So, don't think just because it's been 4 weeks since you baby arrived that it's too late. To see more from this

So, newborn photography has grown SO much over the years. When it first started, the studio look was all anyone did. Standard poses, and often times elaborate set ups with babies in boxes and such. A few years ago, I realized I preferred the more relaxed, lifestyle newborn photography style and I never looked back. Your newborn photoshoot can be as simple as you want. Which takes away a lot of unnecessary stress after just having a baby. With newborn photos at home, I bring e

Other than being my favorite kind of session ever, a Lifestyle Newborn photography session means I come to you. I bring blankets, wraps, headbands, lights if needed, all of it. You get the benefit of not having to take your newborn baby out of the house. Your favorite snacks are always nearby. Furry babies can be included (I LOVE it). Toddlers and older siblings can play, come and go as they please, watch their favorite show, all in the comfort of their own home. I fell in lo
