6 Tips to Prepare for Your In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session
Bringing your newborn home is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and having your photos taken in your own space allows you to relive those memories every time you look back. To make the experience seamless and relaxed, here are 6 easy ways to prepare:
1. Focus on the Rooms That Matter Most
You don’t need a spotless home! Concentrate on the nursery, bedroom, or living area with the best natural light. A quick tidy-up in these spaces is all that’s needed.
2. Dress in Soft, Neutral Colors
Choose outfits in whites, creams, grays, or pastels. These shades photograph beautifully and ensure the attention stays on your family’s connection. Avoid bold logos or busy prints.
3. Keep Baby Comfortable
A well-fed, cozy baby is a happy baby. Have swaddles, a favorite blanket, or even a special outfit ready. The session will flow around baby’s needs—feeding breaks and snuggles are part of the process.
4. Include Everyone in the Story
Parents, siblings, and even pets are welcome! These little details add richness and personality to your gallery. Some of the best photos come from those unscripted family interactions.
5. Highlight Meaningful Details
Lifestyle sessions aren’t just about faces—they’re about the little moments and surroundings. Think about rocking in your favorite chair, holding baby’s hand, or capturing those sweet nursery details like books, quilts, or décor.
6. Relax and Trust the Process
The beauty of an in-home session is its ease—you don’t have to pack or travel anywhere. Just enjoy being together, and let me document the love and connection that naturally unfolds.
Why Lifestyle Newborn Photography Is So Special
Unlike studio sessions, lifestyle newborn photography tells the story of your baby’s first home. From the nursery you poured your heart into decorating to the way you snuggle on your couch, every image reflects your unique season of life.
If you’re located in Berwick, Baton Rouge, Morgan City, or surrounding Louisiana areas, I’d love to capture your family’s first days together in the comfort of your home.
