Capturing Precious Moments: Choosing the Right Newborn Photography Package


Choosing the Right Newborn Package: Home Lifestyle vs. Studio Session

Welcoming a newborn into your family is one of life's most precious moments, and capturing those early days through photography ensures you'll have memories to cherish forever. As a Sacramento-based family photographer, I offer two distinct newborn photography packages tailored to suit different preferences and needs: the Home Lifestyle Newborn Session and the Studio Newborn Session. In this guide, I'll walk you through both options to help you decide which experience is the perfect fit for your family.


Home Lifestyle Newborn Session

There's something undeniably special about capturing your baby's first days in the comfort of your own home. These sessions are all about intimate, cozy moments that reflect your family's unique story.

What to Expect:

  • A relaxed and natural environment where your family feels at ease.
  • Photo time dedicated to both your newborn and immediate family members.
  • Sessions typically last around 2 hours, giving plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and cuddling breaks.
  • 20 professionally edited images.

Who It's Best For:

  • Families who love the idea of incorporating their home environment into their photos.
  • Parents who want a more personal, documentary-style session.
  • Those who value the convenience of staying home with a new baby.

Studio Newborn Session

For families who prefer a more polished setting or may not have the ideal space at home, a studio session is a fantastic option. These sessions provide a clean and controlled environment with access to additional props and backdrops.

What to Expect:

A professional studio setting, selected after a consultation to match your vision.

The flexibility to focus solely on your baby or include immediate family members.

A 2-hour session dedicated to creating timeless portraits.

20 professionally edited images.

Who It's Best For:

Families who want a more styled and curated look for their newborn photos.

Parents who prefer not to worry about cleaning or preparing their home.

Those who love the variety and flexibility of a studio environment.

Investment: $650


How to Choose the Right Session for You

When deciding between a home or studio newborn session, consider your personal preferences, comfort level, and the overall aesthetic you're drawn to. Do you envision photos filled with the warmth of your nursery and your family's natural interactions? Or do you dream of soft and dreamy images taken in a professional studio space?

No matter which option you choose, both sessions are designed to provide a relaxed experience and beautiful, heartfelt images of your little one.

If you're ready to book your newborn session or have any questions, feel free to get in touch. I can't wait to capture these precious moments for your family!
