WHAT IS A “LIFESTYLE” SESSION
A lifestyle session captures natural moments of the baby and your family in your home.
This can be done at any point in the first few months, which allows a lot of flexibility in the timing and provides a little more personality to the photos!
I use areas in your home with good natural light (typically getting everyone on a bed works really well) or the nursery or living room.
I also have a studio space if you prefer not to use your home.
The session includes up to an hour session at your home and all digital copies (70-100) of the photos that are lightly edited and delivered online for you to download and use as you please. (printing, social media, etc)

PREPARING YOUR HOME
We will want to use the space in your house with the most natural light- no need to straighten your whole house (!) but focus on those rooms with really good natural light from windows, glass doors, etc. The bedroom also works really well to get everyone sitting on the bed together!
I also have a neutral studio space if you prefer not to use your home!
WHAT TO WEAR
Feel free to have a few outfits for baby. Also just a swaddle can be simple and cute. Parents can focus on solid colors so the baby stands out! (no super busy patterns). Siblings can be in anything that compliments baby. Textures, layers and accessories all play well on camera. Here is a link to some ideas!
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS
I fully understand how vulnerable these sweet babies are, so I am happy to take any precautions to make you most comfortable. I am happy to wear a mask for anything indoors if you prefer- just let me know! I will not be bringing any props or blankets, so please feel free to have anything ready you would like to use.
BOOKING
To officially reserve a session date, I will send you a contract that you can sign online. Please provide your address, best contact number, names of everyone appearing in the photos and the ages of any siblings. (no need to share baby’s name if it’s still TBD or a secret!)
A 50% nonrefundable retainer is due at booking. An invoice will be sent online to pay with credit card.
The remainder is due no later than 3 days after the session.
FURRY FRIENDS
Pets are welcome to join in the fun, just be sure they have a place to patiently “wait” during the photos they will not be in. :)
