There’s just something magical about photographing a family in their own home during those early newborn days. This lifestyle newborn session in Birmingham was filled with everything I love- natural light, soft baby snuggles, and two brand new parents who are so excited.
Why choose photos at home?
Lifestyle newborn photography is all about capturing connection and the quiet, beautiful in-between moments: the way a mom cradles her baby, the proud look on a new dad’s face, and those tiny fingers wrapped around yours. It’s less about perfectly posed shots and more about telling your family’s story, right where it begins.
About This Session
This sweet family welcomed me into their home just a few weeks after their baby was born. Their space was full of light from a big window in the master bedroom- perfect for a cozy, relaxed session. Mom somehow made that newborn glow look effortless, and Dad was already a total pro and holding the baby.
When to Schedule Newborn Photos?
If you’re expecting and wondering when to schedule newborn photos, I always remommend reaching out in your second trimester to get on my calendar. Lifestyle sessions usually take place within the first 2 to 3 weeks after your baby is born. Your baby is still sleepy and snuggly, but you are starting to settle into your new rhythm.
Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, these early days go by in a blur- and they’re so worth remembering. If you’re looking for a lifestyle newborn photographer in Birmingham, Alabama, I’d love to help you capture this beautiful season.
