Why Choose to have your newborn photographer session at home

Capturing Precious Moments:

The Joys of Newborn Photography at Home

As a photographer specialising in newborn sessions, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the tender moments that unfold when families welcome their newest members into the world. Each session is a unique journey. But there’s something truly special about photographing newborns in the comfort of their own home.

Why Choose a Home Newborn Session?

There’s a serene intimacy that permeates the atmosphere of a home newborn session, which makes it such a great idea to have your newborn session photographer at your home. Unlike the sterile environment of a studio, where unfamiliar surroundings can sometimes unsettle both parents and baby, being in the familiar surroundings of one’s home allows for a more relaxed and authentic experience.

My Top Tips for Preparing for Your Newborn Session at Home

1. Comfort and Convenience: For new parents, especially those navigating the whirlwind of caring for a newborn, the thought of venturing out for a photo session can feel daunting. Having the photographer come to their home eliminates the stress of travel, ensuring that everyone can focus on enjoying the experience.
2. Personalisation: Home sessions offer the opportunity to incorporate meaningful elements into the photographs. Whether it’s capturing the nursery decor, cuddling on the family couch, or posing with cherished heirlooms (Etsy is great for these), these personalised touches add depth and meaning to the images.
3. Natural Environment: The home is where the heart is. It’s also where newborns spend the majority of their time in those early days. Having a newborn session photographer at home then makes perfect sense. Photographs taken in this natural setting authentically document the everyday moments of family life. Thus creating a timeless record of the early days of parenthood.
4. Flexibility: Babies have their own schedules, and they don’t always adhere to the timetable we set for them. Home sessions offer the flexibility to accommodate feeding, changing, and soothing breaks as needed. This ensures that both baby and parents remain comfortable throughout the session.
5. Sibling and Pet Inclusion: For families with older children or furry friends, a home session allows everyone to participate in the photoshoot comfortably. Siblings can snuggle up with their newest family member, and beloved pets can join in the fun, resulting in heartwarming images that reflect the entire family dynamic.
