Relaxed At-home Newborn Session

I’m very excited to share with you today a relaxed-at-home newborn session from earlier this spring. In instances when clients have a toddler in addition to a newborn, I think the option to shoot at home is an especially nice choice. This allows kiddos to feel comfortable in their most familiar environment, while letting parent’s save their energy for photos rather than packing baby necessities & traveling to a destination.

Some things to consider when shooting your newborn session at home:
-Cover your bed with soft & neutral, light-colored linens. Add extra pillows for a lush look and clear surfaces of clutter.
-Have a neutral colored swaddle for baby, along with a more colorful option if you’d like. Put any other family members in light, neutral & solid colored clothing.
-Pick a time of day then your home gets great natural light. We usually shoot in nursery, master bedroom and sometimes living rooms.

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions about preparing your home or family for an in-home photo session! xo, Jessica
