Should You Consider a Studio or An In-Home Newborn Session?
First of all, congrats on welcoming your beautiful newborn into your family! I know it's a time full of happiness, love, and, let's be honest, a bit of chaos. And that's perfectly okay! between all the diaper changes and sleepless nights, trust me on this, you'll want to capture these precious moments! Probably the first question that comes to mind when planning your newborn session is whether you should consider a studio session or an in-home newborn session. And it’s totally valid. I am team in-home session and I’ll tell you why! An in-home newborn session is all about comfort, for both you and your baby. Your home is a place where you feel safe and relaxed. There's no need to pack up and travel with a newborn, which can be a task in itself! Staying at home means less stress and less stress means better photos!
Let’s Talk About In-Home Newborn Sessions
Let's talk about the setting. Your home is uniquely you! Whether it’s the nursery that you've been preparing for your baby, your comfy couch, or even your bed, all make perfect backdrops for intimate and personal photos. These familiar places will add authentic and heartwarming touches to your photos. And who can resist a picture of a tiny baby in a big, cozy bed? I know I can't! Moreover, in-home sessions allow for a more flexible schedule. Newborns are unpredictable, and that's part of the process! If your little one needs a break for feeding or changing, no problem! There's no rush, and your baby's needs always come first. This relaxed pace results in more natural, candid shots.
Another plus of in-home sessions is the inclusion of family pets. Our furry friends are family too, and their curious interactions with the newest member of the family make for some adorable shots! You might worry about your home not being 'picture perfect.' But here's the thing - it doesn't need to be! Life with a newborn isn't always neat and tidy, and that's okay. A bit of messiness adds character and truth to your photos. After all, this is your story, and every story is beautiful in its own unique way.
