Beverly In-Home Newborn Session

NEWBURYPORT NEWBORN PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

 
When it comes to photographing newborns, you’ll find your two options are a session at a studio or an in-home session at your residence. Studio sessions offer a controlled setting to photograph your little one in carefully arranged poses, often bundled in snug wraps or whimsical outfits. Equally popular now are in-home newborn sessions, where the photographer works collaboratively with you on-location in your home.

As an in-home newborn photographer, what I like most about the home setting is that it is a comforting and familiar place to you and your baby. Newborn sessions typically last two hours, as we work at a gentle pace and allow for the necessary nursing, changing, and coddling breaks. Parents often appreciate being at home within arm’s reach of all that is needed to ensure the needs of their newborn are quickly met. Depending on your residence, at-home newborn sessions can photographed with natural or artificial light, and the aesthetic of your session can either be bright and airy, or dramatic and artful, such as with the session shared below. Props such as blankets, furs, backdrops, and pillows are brought to your home to incorporate into the images. In-home sessions are primarily designed to celebrate and capture your newborn in their natural state, preferring loose wraps and organic posing. Parents are also welcome to participate in the session, appearing only partially in the images or fully sharing in the experience with their newborn. A Lifestyle Newborn Session, for example, documents baby’s first days at home as they settle into their nursery and bond with siblings and loved ones — creating a very personal collection of images of what it was like to experience parenthood in a meaningful space of your own.

If you have questions about an in-home newborn session for you or a loved one, please get in touch. I’d be happy to advise on how we can create a special experience in your home unique to you and your new arrival.
