Newborn Lifestyle Session


I had the wonderful privilege of capturing this beautiful family of five in the comfort of their gorgeous house. Houston In-Home Newborn Lifestyle Sessions that take place in in the comfort of the client's home. These type of sessions are a wonderful option for families. Families who have more than one child find it easier because the family does not have to travel, the children are in a familiar and comfortable environment, and the images are more organic and casual.

WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK OUR NEWBORN LIFESTYLE SESSION AND HOW OLD SHOULD BABY BE?

The best time to book your newborn lifestyle session is about 4-6 months in advance. Its never too early to book but its best to book earlier than later. This will ensure you are on my calendar, especially considering babies tend to have their own agenda who may come early or later. never too early to book. My busy season is March through May and September through November. Therefore, if you have expecting any time during these busy periods, its best to book now.


Another reason why more and more families are opting for In- Home Newborn Lifestyle Sessions is because the baby can be photography within their first several weeks. There is no specific time period we must capture (unlike studio newborn sessions). If you are hoping for photos of your sweet, new baby sleepy and dreamy with all the newborn details such as flaky skin, tiny fingers, and brand new baby looks, then it's best to do your session within the first 2 weeks. However, if you are okay will baby being awake, more personality, a bit grown, and Mommy recovering from labor and delivery, then I advise we book between 4-8 weeks. Again, Houston In-Home Newborn Lifestyle Sessions can take place really at any time when the family is ready.

WHAT TIME ARE HOUSTON IN-HOME NEWBORN LIFESTYLE SESSIONS?

I generally do my Houston In-Home Newborn Lifestyle Portrait Sessions when the clients home has the most natural light in the areas we are taking portraits. We generally take portraits in two areas of the house such as the living room, master bedroom, and/or nursery. Whenever these rooms have the most natural light is when I advise we take our pictures. This time is generally between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.


How long does it last? Generally, In-Home Newborn Lifestyle Sessions last about 45-90 minutes long. The time is dependent on baby and the number of family members. During the session, I am generally flexible and go with the flow with the baby depending on feed times, cuddles, and toddlers needing breaks. I give direction and guidance during the session while keeping it casual and organic. My job as your Houston Newborn Photographer is to create a wonderful experience and having truly emotional connections during our session.

DO WE GET TO CHAT BEFORE THE SESSION?

ABSOLUTELY! Every Houston In-Home Newborn Lifestyle Photography session includes a pre-session consultation. In a pre-session consultation, we will discuss the areas of the home you wish to capture, when you wish to capture, and details about your session. I want to know what is you're overall objective. In addition, we will get to talk about hair, make up, and clothing details. So the day of the session, everything will go smoothly.
