Four Reasons to Schedule an In-home Newborn Session | Bay Area Photographer

Four Benefits of Having Your Newborn Photoshoot at Home

You have plenty of options when it comes to your newborn photoshoot. You can choose a posed studio session, an outdoor session, or an in-home Lifestyle session. Here are a few reasons that I love In-home Newborn Sessions.

No Need to Pack Up and Leave

If you’re a new parent, you probably already figured out that it’s a bit ordeal to pack up and leave the house with the baby. You used to be able to get out the door in 15 minutes, but now it takes almost an hour. And just when you think you’re ready to go, your little one spits up all over everything, and back in you go to get changed!

When you choose to have your newborn photoshoot at home, you get to stay in the comfort of your home. No need to up pack the diaper bag and get extra bottles ready. If you need to change the baby, you can use the nursery. When your little one is ready for the next feeding, just take a break and feed the baby.

Your Photos Will Show Authentic Moments

The purpose of a lifestyle newborn session is to capture the authentic connection between you and your newest family member. Moments like snuggling with your newborn, breastfeeding, and capturing the bond between older siblings and the baby are all captured and documented through images.

And since most people are most comfortable in their own environments, having your newborn session at home ensures that the whole family is relaxed and stress-free.

Your Pictures Will Be Unique

When you have your newborn photoshoot in your home, your images will be as unique as your family. At home, you can get pictures taken in your nursery, your living room, or even your backyard. No one else has a home just like yours, and no one else will have newborn images just like yours.

If you choose to have your newborn session in a photo studio, you will likely have the same props and backgrounds as other families getting newborn photos done in the same studio.

Relaxed Siblings

One of the hardest things during newborn photoshoots is getting other kids on board. It’s not easy to get a toddler or young child to sit still, stand still, pose, or even stop moving for a picture.

When you have the newborn photoshoot at home, you get relaxed siblings in their own environment. They don’t have to feel out of sorts. If they need a break to play with toys for a few minutes, that’s okay.

These are just a few of the benefits of an in-home, lifestyle newborn session. Leigh Ann Pincus Photography can help you with your next in-home newborn session.
