In Home Newborn/Family Session

Ahhhh - This session really tugged at my heart strings! I always say that I LOVE this job because we get tell a story and freeze important moments in time…and this session just really proved that!

Baby Summer was born at 25 weeks and spent the first 5 months of her life in hospital, so when she FINALLY got to go home with her family, mama wanted to capture this moment and I am SO Glad she reached out! These are moments you’ll never get back and photographs not only tell a story of an important time in your lives, but they freeze these moments so you can remember and look back on them forever!

Take a peek at some of my favorites from her session-it was so hard to choose!!

7 Things Your Newborn Photographer Wants You to Know

Congrats!! You’ve chosen a newborn photographer and can’t wait to get photos of the precious new addition to your family! But if you’ve never had a newborn session before, you may not be sure what to expect from the experience. That’s why I want to let you know a few things that newborn photographers wish all their clients knew.

Every newborn is unique.

Just as every family is different, no two babies are exactly alike. One newborn might be perfectly comfortable posed laying on her belly, while another might absolutely hate it. Your photographer will work with you and your newborn to find the positions they’re most comfortable in and will definitely not force your baby into any poses they aren’t willing to do.

We’ve seen it all. TRUST ME.

If your baby pees on the photographer’s set, throws a fit, or just wants to nurse the whole session, don’t be embarrassed. Chances are your photographer has experienced everything from poop all over their props to being peed on. As a newborn photographer, this is their everyday life, and they’re totally understanding. After all, your baby’s needs come before your photos. So, don’t feel like you have to apologize for every little thing that goes wrong. Your photographer is there to support you and work with you.

We have a lot of tricks up our sleeves.

It can be tempting to swoop in and pick up your newborn as soon as they start crying, but most photographers know a variety of ways to sooth little ones. It’s important for parents to use their newborn session as a time to relax and to trust the photographer. If your baby is truly upset and can’t be calmed down, we’ll be sure to pass them on to you for feeding, diapering, or comfort.

You should feel free to take a break.

As the parent of a newborn, you probably haven’t had a moment to yourself in a while. Well, your photo session is the perfect chance to just sit back and relax. Most of the images will be of your baby, so you get to sit on the sidelines, have a cup of coffee, and maybe finally check your email or return some phone calls. And no judgment if you doze off during the session! I’ll wake you when I need you.

 We want you to share our photos.

Photographers take images for you to cherish and enjoy, and we want you to share them! Post those photos of your newborn all over social media and send to family and friends. We want our images to be seen! Just be sure to credit your photographer when you share their images on Facebook or Instagram and feel free to recommend them to other expecting parents!

Our work doesn’t end with your session.

Since everyone has a camera on their phone these days, photographers hear a lot about how anyone can take a photo. But a professional does so much more than simply click a button. We set up backdrops and lighting, and we know all the tricks of the trade to make your photos turn out amazing. And once the session is over, we spend hours editing your photos to make them the absolute best they can be, providing you with images you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Simple In Studio Maternity Session | South Jersey Photographer

Ahhh Look at this stunning mama!

Aside from newborn photography, I think studio maternity may be my favorite type of session to photograph. I love being able to capture the beauty and strength of the woman’s body during pregnancy! I know you may not feel it right now mama- but you’re GLOWING and your body is a warrior.

This session was so much fun because we got to incorporate the whole family! Bailee chose a few different dresses from our client closet and even got to take some photos with her husband and toddler. I love how versatile each session can be.
