What to expect lifestyle newborn session
My lifestyle newborn sessions are always very easy flowing and free. They’re either done in your home or in a local downtown Peterborough studio that I use regularly. On occasion these sessions have been done outside on a beautiful summer day, but mainly in home. These sessions are meant to be easy for the parents. I don’t do a lot of the typical baby posing you would see on Pinterest, however if you would like the baby wrapped, I am more than happy to use one of yours. These sessions are typically 45-60 minutes long. I start off with family photos, mom and baby, dad and baby, siblings if there are any, and then I’ll finish off with some of just the baby. If this session is in your home, we typically like to stay around the natural light locations. Nursery, living room, master bedroom and patio doors are places I would generally stay around. If your session is done in the studio, we will usually start the same way, however our backdrop will be a white wall, sometimes we will use the window to sit in, the chairs and couch too.
What to wear? This session is very casual, I always say to try and go neutral, but also stay comfortable. As a mom of two, I know how exhausting the first few weeks are after having a baby is.
These type of sessions tend to be when the baby is 1-4 weeks old, however they look adorable with a 6 month old too!
