What is a lifestyle newborn session like with a Massachusetts Newborn Photographer?

A Lifestyle Session with Massachusetts Newborn Photographer Christina Runnals

As an experienced Massachusetts newborn photographer, I can tell you all about what a newborn session in your home is like! In my opinion, it is the absolute best way to have newborn pictures done. Firstly, you don’t have to get in the car to drive anywhere! That is already a huge bonus! Additionally, you spend your entire session in the comfort of your own home. This is a big plus for a new mom. After giving birth, you often need many personal and medical items within an arms reach- for yourself and your baby! The first few weeks with a new baby can be a stressful time. Because of this, it is nice to just know that everything you need is right there during your photoshoot, just in case!

Where Will We Take the Pictures?

For your newborn session, I recommend taking your photos primarily in your master bedroom and the nursery. You will need to prepare these rooms as best you can by clearing all clutter away. When I arrive, I will survey the scene! I will most likely move a few more things. Sometimes, I will even take items from other places in your house and move them to the rooms we are photographing in! As an experienced Massachusetts newborn photographer, I know exactly what will look l lovely in the background of your photos!

What Will Our Photos Look Like?

The Natural Photography Style | Massachusetts Newborn Photographer

Pictures from a lifestyle newborn session will look very different than some other types of newborn photos! As a Massachusetts newborn photographer, clients often seek me out for a specific look to their photos. As you can see, my photos are light and natural. Almost all images from your newborn session will be candid, organic moments of you and your baby, or just your baby alone.

Why Choose a Candid Natural Style in your Home?

You have probably noticed that I do not pose the baby, but rather keep things very natural. I personally love this style of photography because of how well it captures the reality of life! This may sound funny, but even little things like having your own couch in a photo is special. I love looking back at photos of my childhood and seeing my parent’s old furniture! I also love this style for another reason. Think about how your baby will feel about his or her newborn pictures when they grow up. Will they LOVE a picture of themselves posed perfectly in a frog position, wearing a costume, sitting upon a lily pad or in a bucket or a tiny doll bed? Yes, that is so adorable in the moment LOL… but think about the long term. How much more special will these pictures be someday to your because they capture reality?? They will want to see you in the pictures with them, snuggling them, soothing them, and loving them. To me, that is so incredible and special!
