5 Reasons To Book An In Home Spokane Lifestyle Newborn Session

When we’re expecting a baby, we spend so much of our time planning and decorating the perfect nursery. We know a season of being cozy and comfortable at home is coming when our new baby arrives. That drive to nest and create the perfect welcoming environment for our baby is SO real. The unintended benefit of all that is nesting is that you are simultaneously creating the perfect backdrop for cozy, at-home newborn photos.

Authentic and unposed photos within your home

Lifestyle newborn photos can be a glimpse into the season of life with your new baby. By taking the photos at home you’re really preserving the memory of your family in this quickly fleeting season. There’s always a different energy when families are being photographed in their home. They’re more at ease, more authentic and much more comfortable, which adds a nice casual but full of memories aesthetic to the photos. Most families that I work with want a very unposed look to their photos.

Ease and comfort of knowing your photographer coming to you

There truly is no place like home during the early postpartum season. Rather than loading up your whole nursery and family to drive to a photography studio, you can have your photographer come to you and take photos within your home. This means you can have a much slower morning and ditch the worries of remember to back everything you need to leave the house. This creates a much lower stress photography experience for your entire family, meaning everyone will be happy.

Showcase the nursery you worked so hard on

During the nesting phase of your pregnancy, you likely worked really hard to create the perfect nursery for your new little one. In home lifestyle photos can be a great way to preserve and showcase the memory of your perfect nursery design. When taking photos within Spokane homes, I work primarily in the parents bedroom and the new baby’s nursery to create photos that capture the memory of being at home with your new baby. Don’t let that beautiful nursery go to waste, let’s take some pictures of it.

Keep your family’s new routine

Having the a photographer come to you is a great way to keep your family’s new routine all the way up to the time that pictures start and being able to resume as soon as they are over. Newborn photos within your home are much quicker than in a studio, you don’t have to figure in drive time to and from the studio and the workflow of taking the photos goes much quicker because there is less equipment and no props involved. If you want newborn photos that are fast and fun, in your home is the way to go. In-home newborn photos are also great for families that are establishing a breastfeeding routine and relationship, because you are free to feed your baby as much as you need to during the session. Your baby can be asleep or awake for the photos so the pressure is definitely off when photos take place within your home.

Let a pro capture all the perfect details and interactions of your new family

Let’s be honest, you could take your newborn photos on your phone. Phones have great cameras these days and I’m sure you capture tons of candid photos of your family. But, how often are you able to be in the photos and flattered in a way that only a professional can pull off? Probably not often. This is a great thing to consider especially during postpartum, when most of us are not feeling quite like ourselves. Knowing you have a pro that is focused on making everyone look great in the photos adds so much more peace to having photos taken.

Your professional newborn photographer will know all the best poses and angles for everyone in the family, get the lighting just right, edit print worthy photos and even print a beautiful keepsake album for you. There are some things that just can’t be DIY’d and in-home newborn photos are no exception. This will also give you the luxury of not being exhausted from taking the photos so that you can focus on what’s important and that’s your new baby and healing your postpartum body.
