Lifestyle Newborn Portraits - Houston Heights Photographer

 

WHAT IS A LIFESTYLE NEWBORN PORTRAIT SESSION?

I think lifestyle newborn portraits are a beautiful way to document your family in the comfort of your own home! The focus of my lifestyle sessions centers on capturing the natural connections of you as a family with no use of props and very little baby posing. While I will rely on gentle guidance for posing my parents and families, my main goal is to photograph the love between you, and the awe your family shares for the new baby.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE A LIFESTYLE NEWBORN PORTRAIT SESSION:

  • if you are utterly exhausted from the first weeks at home with a newborn and leaving your house feels daunting

  • you prefer natural, candid moments captured during your newborn session

  • you want posing guidance without feeling overly posed or staged

  • real, authentic moments that help you remember this season

  • you want photos that focus on connections

  • you have a beautifully styled home and baby nursery

THESE SESSIONS DO NOT INCLUDE:

  • traditional posed newborn photos that include sleeping babies, props and specific outfits. This style of session is a posed newborn session done in my Pearland studio.

  • the use of any props. since i focus on the documentary side, i will not be posing your baby in any baskets, blankets or bowls.

  • specific outfits, hats or accessories. instead, baby will stay cozy in a swaddle, onesie or other special outfit that you supply



WHERE DOES THE LIFESTYLE NEWBORN SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?

Lifestyle newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your own home. These sessions typically involve using areas of your home that have the best natural light…which can include baby’s nursery, your master bedroom, or your living room. Lifestyle sessions are meant to capture life in your home as it is in this moment: full of excitement, joy and love. A clean area in your house always photographs best so don’t be afraid to shift around baby items to create a tidy space for photos. I’m happy to help move items around as well.

We offer on-location hair and make-up by our preffered HMU artist Ashely Granados so let a professional help you look and feel your best for photos! We LOVE helping clients feel their best version of themselves so that their photos showcase this positive energy. By letting us come to you for your lifestyle newborn sesison, we will take the exhaustion that come with the newborn phase of life and photograph it in a way that helps you remember the sweetness of this passing season.

WHEN SHOULD YOU BOOK YOUR NEWBORN SESSION?

I recommend booking 2-3 months before your due date. This will ensure I have availability for your due date window (two weeks before and after your due date), and give you enough time to prepare. When you book your newborn session with me I provide you with a welcome and prep guide to help you get things ready before baby arrives.

Contact me today to schedule your Houston Lifestyle Newborn session. I’d love to add you to our calendar!
