If this is your first newborn or family session, you might be wondering what lifestyle newborn photography actually means. You may also be wondering why I call myself a Fort Worth lifestyle photographer.
The truth is, there are a lot of photography styles out there.
Some photographers shoot dark and moody images. Some create very posed, formal portraits. Others only photograph families in a studio or only outdoors.When I was searching for a photographer myself, I remember feeling completely overwhelmed by all the options. That experience shaped the way I work today as a Fort Worth lifestyle photographer.
I offer both studio and in home sessions because every family is different, and your photos should feel like you.
So what is a lifestyle newborn session? Lifestyle newborn photography is simple and natural.
No props. No posing beanbags. No complicated setups. Instead, we photograph your baby right where life is happening. Your bedroom. The living room. The nursery you spent months preparing. It is less about perfect posing and more about real connection.
Tiny fingers. Sleepy snuggles. The way you look at your brand new baby.
Those are the moments that matter most.
Top 3 Reasons to Choose a Fort Worth Lifestyle Newborn Photographer
- Comfort
- Your Style
- You don’t have to leave the house!
1. Comfort
Your home is by far the most comfortable place! An in-home session is a fabulous way to be low key and cozy. If this is not your first baby, your kiddos (i.e. toddlers) will be in their element! They won’t be nervous in a new place and will be likely to interact with you and the baby in fairly natural ways. There is truly less prompting from me with older siblings when we are in their home! They just kind of do their thing!
2. Your Style, Your Home
My favorite thing about sessions in your home is that inner Chip & Jo is going to shine! That brand new nursery is going to be beautiful and I just know you want to show it off! Super cool living room? Yep, let’s go there! Decked out master bedroom? I’m all in! The unique style of your home will make your session truly one of a kind! It can’t be recreated and that makes your session so bittersweet! These are the walls that welcome your new baby. That memory is so beautiful, isn’t it? Gosh, those are the things I want to share with my own babies, too! {Note to self: go take more pictures at home!}
3. You Don’t Have to Leave the House!
Ok, let me be real! It is HARD to leave the house with a brand new baby. If I’m being honest, I’m pretty sure we were late everywhere we went for the first 3 months. My hair and make-up friends will even come to your home if you’re interested in that! An in-home session is definitely easier in terms of rushing out the door. {Should I mention the con here? The *one* con to an in-home session is that you will likely need to de-clutter. If you’re like me– that just means throwing things in a closet, but hey– it works!}
