In-Home Newborn Photography

In-home sessions are cozy and personal, capturing life where it’s really happening. These photos often have a lifestyle feel—think cuddles on the couch or rocking baby in the nursery. While heartwarming, they may not have the same polished look as a studio session.

Consider this if you want: a relaxed, documentary style in the comfort of your own home.

On-Location Newborn Photography

Some families love the idea of outdoor sessions or a meaningful location. While these images can be beautiful, weather and travel with a newborn can be unpredictable, and outdoor sessions often limit the types of poses possible with a brand-new baby.

Consider this if you want: outdoor images with a natural or adventurous feel.

Fresh 48 Photography

These sessions happen in the hospital or birthing center within the first two days after birth. They’re raw, emotional, and unposed—capturing those very first moments of meeting your little one. However, they don’t allow for styled setups or the dreamy poses you’ll see in studio portraits.

Consider this if you want: documentary-style memories of your baby’s first hours of life.

Why Studio Sessions Win for Most Families

While every type of newborn photography is special, studio sessions offer something truly unique: a perfect blend of artistry, safety, and ease. With everything set up in advance, parents can relax, knowing their baby is in good hands while enjoying a calm and stress-free experience.

Studio portraits also age beautifully—classic images you’ll be proud to display on your walls, gift to grandparents, and cherish for decades to come.

Choosing a newborn photographer is about more than just taking pictures—it’s about creating heirlooms. Whether you love the raw emotion of a Fresh 48, the comfort of in-home sessions, or the adventure of an outdoor shoot, the studio experience brings together safety, professionalism, and timeless beauty that many families find unbeatable.
