At home newborn photo session in Bergen County

Live Love Laugh Photos Ridgewood photography studio is a great place for newborn sessions – there is plenty of room, great lights, lots of cute hats, hair accessories and blankets to choose from – I love holding newborn sessions there.  But there is something to be said about on-location at-home lifestyle newborn sessions.  I don’t do them very often but when I do – I really enjoy them!

So when would you choose an at-home lifestyle newborn sessions vs a studio newborn photo session?  If you want to focus on your adorable cuddly new bundle of joy and get lots of sleepy images of your naked baby, focusing on tiny toes and fingers, squshy cheeks and long eye lashes  – then a studio photo session the right option for you – and our Ridgewood photo studio is a great place to have your newborn photo session.   Will there be pictures of Mommy and Daddy with their new addition?  Of course there will be!  With a studio session you don’t need to worry about anything – you just bring your baby and your diaper bag and I will take care of the rest.

At home newborn sessions are a little different.  First of all these sessions are best done a bit later than studio sessions – usually within 4 to 8 weeks.  During this time your baby is a bit more awake, more aware of his or her surroundings and his personality starts to shine through.  This also give Mom a bit more time to recover from not-so-easy task for bringing a new human into this world!  At home lifestyle sessions are more relaxed and laid back than studio – they are all about capturing you and your baby in your home, doing what you do best – cuddling and gazing into your baby’s eyes! 🙂  There will be images of the baby, (don’t worry, you will have plenty of options for your birth announcements!) but these images are not as posed as studio ones.  At home photo sessions are great to capture you in your home, surrounded by your favorite things and people.

I was thrilled when this Mom reached out to me and asked me to photograph her newborn twins.  I love all babies but newborn twins (and twin girls!) have a very special place in my heart:)  When I first saw them I think I squeeled with joy – they were so perfect and dainty – they looked like beautiful dolls!  And even at the tender age of 4 weeks these girls had very different personalities – one was more laid back and another one demanded a bit more attention:)  They were equally sweet though and I absolutely loved spending a morning with them in their stunning nursery (seriously, this place looks like it belongs in a magazine!) and capturing them being bathed in love by their Mom and Dad!

So if you live in Ridgewood, Franklin Lakes, Ramsey or other surrounding towns in Bergen County and would like an at-home newborn photo session contact me – I would love to capture you and your bundle of joy!
