5 Reasons Why You Should Consider Lifestyle Newborn Photography Over Posing Newborn Photography!

I am a lifestyle photographer based in New Philadelphia, Ohio, specializing in photographing families. All families at all stages of life. From your first pregnancy to watching your kids graduate high school, I am here to photograph it all.

So what exactly is lifestyle newborn photography and what are the benefits of lifestyle newborn photo sessions?

I have two older blogs about What is Lifestyle Newborn Photography and Tips on how to prepare for a Newborn Lifestyle Session.

In Short: Lifestyle newborn photos are a type of photography that captures family relationships rather than just focusing on the baby's looks. Lifestyle shooting aims to document real moments and meaningful connections, which results in images captured from those early days when you're first becoming an expectant father or mother alongside your spouse and children as they grow up before our eyes!

Today we are going to focus on the benefits of a lifestyle newborn session.

*This does not mean that posed Newborn photography isn't perfect in its own way.

1. I am passionate about my work and strive to create beautiful images that will last a lifetime.

I believe that every child has an innate beauty and charm that cannot be replicated by any other photographer. I capture these moments with patience and understanding, allowing parents to enjoy their precious baby as much as possible.

As a lifestyle newborn photographer, I am able to offer my clients a unique perspective on the world of newborn photography. I understand how difficult it can be to find a newborn photographer who will work within your budget and schedule. I also understand how important it is to choose a newborn photographer who will provide you with high-quality images that you will cherish forever.

2. Location Choice

Lifestyle newborn sessions can take place in 3 unique places.

1. The Comfort of your Home

2. A Lifestyle Photography Studio

3. On-Location Outside

4. Hospital or Birthing Center - more often referred to as a Fresh 48 Session.

3. Larger Window to have the Session Take Place

There is more flexibility in the timeframe for having lifestyle newborn photos vs traditional posed Newborn Photos.

An industry standard for posed Newborn Photos is no older than 14 days old. Why because you want baby to sleep as much as possible.

I recommend getting them taken between 8-12 weeks old because that way they'll be small enough yet still remember their first days in life with us while looking adorable instead of being huge like an adult.

4. Relaxed, Natural, & Meaningful

As a lifestyle newborn photographer, I take candid photos of your little ones that highlight their natural attributes and personality.

I provide direction for poses while guiding gentle guidance so parents don't feel overwhelmed by the process or worried about how their baby may be acting - we want them relaxed as possible which makes posing easier because it's just two people having fun getting creative with artistry.

The most important benefit of this style is that we can capture your baby in natural positions and avoid artificial poses or props. Plus, you'll be able to hold them if desired!

5. Hiring Me as Your Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

I am passionate about my craft and strive to provide high-quality images that capture the true essence of your newborn. I believe that every baby deserves to be photographed with care and attention.

I offer a free consultation where we discuss your family goals and desires. We will then work together to determine what vibe you would like to have created.

If you decide to book a session, I will send you a questionnaire so that we can schedule your appointment as soon as possible.
