Benefits of Newborn Lifestyle Photos
Familiar Surroundings
Newborn lifestyle photos in the comfort of your home are always a great option. Great for when you don’t want to leave the home, have a toddler/s who do best in familiar surroundings and for when you want to have portraits taken in your favorite rooms.
You spend a lot of time getting ready for your new baby to come home, so why not show off that nursery and other special areas that you want documented. Great way to tell your family’s story and show your children how things looked when everything was still brand new!
Studio comes to you
I always bring everything that is needed, so don’t worry if your home has good light as I will bring lights with me in case it is needed. I also bring swaddles, blankets, onesies, baby wipes, diaper covers and all the other necessities.
Location #1 – parents’ bedroom
Most clients choose to do newborn lifestyle photos in the parents’ bedroom. It is a place that they spend a lot of time with their baby, so it is comfy. The bed is also a safe place for the baby and allows for flattering posing. Great for toddlers with their new sibling too.
Styling
When doing newborn lifestyle photos in your bedroom, think of your linens and how it will go with your outfit choices. I recommend white linens so that the eye goes straight to your family members without a lot of distractions. Pops of color can be nice, as shown here. The blue border of the bedding mimics the blue in the family’s wardrobe, baby’s bow and will look great with the colors in baby’s nursery.
Location #2 – Nursery
Notice how the colors of the bedroom pictures coordinate perfectly with the nursery. Any of these newborn lifestyle photos can be hung in either of these rooms without clashing. They can also be grouped tother in a gallery wall in other areas of the house and they would work seamlessly. All great things to think about when planning your portraits.
Simple newborn images
If you are drawn to studio style images for your baby, no worries. I bring what is needed for those sweet and simple newborn images that highlight your newborn. These images aren’t heavily posed, but rather more baby led posing with some simple adjustments to make sure everything looks good. Babies belong in arms of loved ones and in safe environments that make sense for newborns.
If you are looking for newborn lifestyle photos for your family as you welcome a new baby into the world, don’t hesitate to reach out. I am currently booking through the end of the year.
Book newborn lifestyle photos during second trimester
It is best to get on the calendar in your second trimester to ensure a spot is available for when your baby arrives. I pencil your session in on the calendar and leave plenty of open spots around your due date, so if baby arrives early or late, there is an opening for you. Inquire for information and to reserve your spot. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com | 706.713.0676
