Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

For whatever reason, I tend to get an influx of newborn lifestyle bookings during slow season in the winter months. These shoots are some of my absolute favorite for so many reasons. As a Utah newborn lifestyle photographer, I am lucky to be invited into my client’s homes to photograph their new additions. There is something so beautiful about watching families interact in their own space. I get to slow down and see the breathtaking connections through my lens.

The term “lifestyle” is kind of a buzz word in the photo community. It can mean a lot of different things. To me, it means capturing the organic connection without a lot of direction on my end. Many people think of newborn photography as very posed and controlled, with lots of props and artificial lighting. I think this type of photography is beautiful, but not the style that I provide for my clients. A lifestyle shoot means coming to your home and using natural light to capture those little, candid moments. I do bring an on-camera flash that bounces a little light off the ceilings, but I use it sparingly.

Another way that I add value to these shoots is by including family photos. I always get a full family shot, photos with siblings, parents, etc. Any variation you can think of, I include in your lifestyle session. You don’t even have to have a newborn to have photos taken in the comfort of your home. If you are expecting a baby or just love the look of in-home lifestyle photos, I’d love to hear from you.
