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 relaxed at home, which gives many more beautiful images for their galleries.
Still not convinced? Scroll on down to check out a few favorites from a newborn photoshoot done in the client's home last fall.
