Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s sweetest milestones. Whether you’re adjusting to life at home or stepping into the studio for the first time as a family of three (or more!), your newborn session should feel easy, natural, and true to your story.
As a lifestyle newborn photographer serving Fairfield County, Connecticut, I offer both in-home and studio sessions—each designed to capture your baby’s earliest days in a calm, connected way.
🍼 What Is a Lifestyle Newborn Session?
A lifestyle session focuses on real connection and everyday beauty—no stiff poses or props, just your baby in your arms, at home or in a studio designed to feel like home. The goal is to capture the emotion, the snuggles, the in-between moments.
🏠 In-Home Newborn Sessions
Your home is your baby’s first world—and it’s the perfect setting for natural, personal storytelling. With in-home sessions, we document real moments in real spaces: the nursery you lovingly prepared, the cozy chair where you feed, the soft light in your bedroom.
Pros:
- Zero travel—ideal during recovery or with siblings.
- Images are highly personal and sentimental.
- Comfortable for pets and older children to join in.
Considerations:
- Best done in homes with good natural light.
- We’ll gently tidy or style areas as needed during the session.
📷 Studio Newborn Sessions
If you love a clean, minimalist look or prefer not to worry about your space, the studio is a beautiful option. My light-filled space is styled with soft textures, neutral tones, and cozy seating—perfect for intimate portraits and relaxed moments.
Pros:
- No need to prepare your home.
- Controlled lighting and styling.
- Consistent aesthetic and clean backdrop for timeless images.
Considerations:
- You’ll need to travel with your baby—but I keep sessions short, warm, and baby-paced.
✨ What to Expect in Either Session
Whether in-home or studio, your session will be:
- Relaxed – We work at baby’s pace with plenty of breaks for feeding and soothing.
- Connection-focused – I’ll guide you into gentle poses that reflect love and closeness.
- Simple & real – No props or gimmicks—just you and your little one, naturally.
📅 When to Book Your Newborn Session
It’s best to book your newborn session during pregnancy—typically in the second or early third trimester. We’ll set a tentative date based on your due date, with flexibility once baby arrives.
Most sessions take place when baby is between 7–21 days old, but lifestyle sessions can be beautiful even with older newborns—especially if you prefer a more awake, interactive experience.
