Silver Spring Newborn Session | 5 Reasons Why An In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Photography Session Might Be Right For You
As a Maryland newborn photographer, I get to meet so many wonderful families with amazing stories. When I met baby boy and his family for an in-home lifestyle newborn photography session, the story of his arrival did not disappoint. Baby boy was welcomed into this world by his mom, dad and very proud big brother. He was born at home through the help of midwives that sound amazing. When all was said and done, at the end of delivery day, the family hung out together, in their own bed, eating pizza!
Newborn photography is a wonderful way to document life after a baby’s arrival. Families have different options when deciding who to hire and what kind of session they want. One question to ask is where do you want the session, at home or in a studio? Here are 5 reasons why an in-home lifestyle newborn photography session may be right for you.
1. In-home sessions are convenient
I remember the days after my son’s arrival; leaving the house seemed like a monumental task that required a lot of physical and mental preparation. I just preferred not to go anywhere. With an in-home session, the photographer comes to you. You don’t have to pack up anything or take one step out the door. It’s one less thing to worry about while mom is recovering and the whole family is getting used to a new normal.
2. In-home sessions are done in the comfort of your own home
An in-home session means that you are being photographed as you are, where you are most comfortable - at home. Your family is going to be more relaxed at home. Your new baby is going to be more comfortable in a place with familiar sounds and smells. The images that are captured are going to be more relaxed because everyone is comfortable.
3. In-home sessions are easier for the entire family
An in-home session is less disruptive to everyone’s routine. You don’t have to disrupt the baby’s feeding schedule. If mom needs to pump, she can take a quick break during the session. Older siblings can take breaks and go about their business, which is less stressful for everyone. Dads can also take breaks if they need or want to. In-home sessions are easier and less stressful for the entire family.
4. In-home sessions capture the nursery and familiar surroundings
You worked hard on that nursery, why not document it? If you don’t have a nursery, or don’t use it, there is somewhere in the house that you hang out out together as a family. An in-home session gives you the chance to document the baby’s surroundings as they are, when the baby was brought home.
5. In-home sessions tell your family’s unique story
Your home and family are unique. In-home sessions capture so many different details of your unique family story. It captures the details of the baby, the family dynamic and the emotional connection that are best captured at home. It tells a short story of what your life is like at that moment in time, when you welcomed your new bundle of joy home.
