5 reasons why you should book a newborn lifestyle session


Newborn Lifestyle sessions are the hottest trend in newborn photography right now. They have been so popular for the past few years, for good reasons.


I am sure you can think of multiple excuses why you do not have the time to take professional family portraits. Some being your hair isn't perfect, it's hard to gather everyone together, or I can take photos on my phone.....

All those reasons, of course, are valid (I have used them all myself, multiple times if I am honest) but family memories are precious and time goes so fast, especially when you have little ones. Life can get so busy that sometimes you just need to make an excuse to have professional photos taken of you and your lovely family. You need an excuse to get dolled up and get your family excited to take photos.

There are of course many reasons why you should book a professional newborn lifestyle photoshoot, but here are my top 5

1. Create Memories


Families are always growing and changing; people get married, little ones are born, children grow up, loved ones pass away, whilst others may move away. Past experiences shape us into who we are today. Photos capture these changes, creating a timeline of moments and memories (big or small) for you to look back on, and treasure for years to come.


Don't let life pass you by and find yourself looking back, wondering why you didn't take the time to have some family pictures taken. Let's capture your newborn story.

2. Photoshoots are fun


When you book a family or newborn lifestyle session with me I will make sure we will have fun and enjoyable experience. Many families only experience photoshoots where everyone is in a very tight, small room only to be instructed to pose and smile awkwardly.


My family and newborn lifestyle sessions do not work that way. I ensure my poses are natural moments and beautiful between everyone. Family lifestyle sessions can take place outdoors, in the comfort of your home, or in the studio.


What can you expect during a family lifestyle photoshoot with me?

- No awkward posing

- A natural and fun photoshoot

- Mostly lifestyle/documentary style photos.

- Fun-loving and real moments to treasure.

It's also perfect for capturing genuine moments that bring life to your photos.

3. Everyone gets to participate


When capturing a family portraits, someone has to take the photo. Someone typically is left out and most of the time it's mom. When you hire a professional photographer, everyone gets to participate. Let the professional take the photos and you get to enjoy snuggling up to your little ones and bringing joy to your family. Let me capture your family's story behind my lens.

4. Great for the children


Your children will thank you when they get older for taking those family portraits. This is the time in their lives where you get to document their lives growing up. Memories can be cherished forever through photographs and video. That is why children benefit taking family lifestyle session.

Taking newborn lifestyle photographs is a major milestone in your life!

Don't forget to soak in this wonderful time while your baby is a newborn. The newborn stage only last for about twelve weeks before they transition into babyhood. So embrace your newborn, love them, and most importantly take photographs of this special time.
