If you love the idea of a relaxed photography session in your home...
If you're not really into the props and poses of newborn photography...
If you love the idea of being able to snuggle your new baby in a place that is meaningful to you (your home)...
Then this is for you
For me, as a Twentynine Palms Lifestyle Newborn Photographer, it's about capturing the bond between you and the newest addition to your family. I love that these sessions are done in my client's home where they can relax and just be themselves.
A little about my style: I am a natural light newborn photographer who uses the light coming in from your windows to capture the emotional connection between you and your new baby. My goal is to make it as easy as possible, and as natural as can be. I use a mixture of color and black and white images to express the emotion of the images I capture. This session involves very little posing but I do direct you with activities, such as in the images below where I simply asked mom to sit in the chair and love on her baby. It's that easy!
What I love about Lifestyle Newborn Photography: I love that it's done in your home where everyone can just be themselves. I don't want to put your baby in any awkward "froggy" pose positions. While I do think images like that are cute, I much prefer a more natural look and interaction between baby and the family. It's all about the bond that you share together. You're all on this new adventure, so why wouldn't we want to capture that for you to look back on in the years to come?
Why choose Lifestyle Newborn Photography? While this is a completely personal preference, I think there are two very big differences between the two typical types of newborn photography offered. One is portraiture. It involves your baby and props being posed all cute like, while I feel it is unnatural, I think the images created are often times beautiful. Lifestyle Newborn Photography isn't about the posing or the props, it's about the connection and the bonding. The photos taken of just baby are in a more natural pose that baby is already likely to be in, such as sleeping in their crib, or swaddled in their blanket. In my opinion, there is less pressure for baby to "perform" a certain way. But in the end, it's all a matter of personal preference.
