Lifestyle in-home newborn photoshoot in Sammamish, Wa
Lifestyle in-home newborn photoshoot in Sammamish, Wa in my client's home was a dream. lifestyle newborn sessions are more relaxed than posed in-studio sessions, baby and family are in their natural environment at home, where they feel themselves, and most of the shots are taken with the baby comfortably carried on mum's hand or laying on bed.
Lifestyle newborn sessions don't have a lot of emphasis on props, baskets, or wooden bowls like studio sessions are. I personally think they each have their own beauty and reflect the family's personality. Lifestyle sessions are best done between days 5-20 from the baby's birthday.
How to prepare for your lifestyle in-home newborn photo session
- Make sure baby is well fed 30 minutes before the photographer arrives, which allows baby to digest and sleep
- Give the baby a warm shower 1 hour before the photo shoot to help him/her relax and sleep throughout the session, a sleeping baby means a happy baby
- Clean out and organize any clutter in your home, clutter can really affect the quality of the final pictures, think of the best places to take your photos, that can be a nursery, mum's room, living room and make sure these places and clean and organized.
- Make sure your outfits are ready a couple of days before the shoot.
- If you have other siblings find a way to motivate them before the shoot, maybe promise them a family moved night if they follow instructions during the shoot or ice cream.
- Relax and enjoy and know that a good newborn photographer will do most of the work for you, you just need to have fun and be yourself.
