In-Home Newborn Photography
The Newborn Experience
An Artist By Heart Newborn session is intentionally calm and slow paced. Very little of the session is posed. I prefer to set you up where the light is best and then use prompts to help you interact with eachother. I believe this produces the most genuine images. We will block out 2 hours to meet in your home. This gives us ample time to go at baby’s pace. If we need to stop for a feeding or diaper change (or two), it’s no problem.
Are you worried that your home is not "photo ready?” Your home is loved and lived in! It's understandable to feel that way! But don't worry, you do not have to deep clean for this session. Simply tidy up the nursery, master bedroom, and living room (ex. clear off tables and counters, pick up whatever might be living on a floor that could have a better home, put away knick knacks.) When I first arrive, I will go through these rooms to open all the window dressings and check to see if anything needs to be tidied. I may also move things around a bit to get the best lighting and composition (ex. move an ottoman from the living room into the nursery).
