Hi! Let's be frank! So either there was no such thing as newborn photography for your first few pregnancies and now its all the craze at your last and final pregnancy or this is your first pregnancy and you wish to document your new love the same way you've seen other people get wonderful portraits of their newborns. Either way, I'm so glad you arrived here. I've never heard anyone regret the investment of these this wonderful type of art. Typically, I hear people say I'm so glad I invested in this because my baby changed so quickly after 2 weeks or that I wish I knew about newborn photography when my other children were born. So now that we've got all of that out of the way let's chat about the types of newborn photography available at Aiden Lee Imaging.
TYPES OF NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
There are a few types of newborn photography sessions. Whichever session you pick make sure it's the best fit for you and your family. If you know you like images with baby in their crib, images with mom and dad on your sofa in your own home them lifestyle photography is probably the best fit for you. If you enjoy baskets and headbands and babies in crates and floral wreathes then traditional newborn photography is probably what you would love. Check out a more detailed description of each type of session below.
FRESH 48 - Fresh 48 photography is a special session for those new families who want the first few hours of their newborn’s life captured without having the entire labor or birth documented. It is held within the first 24-48 hours of your baby’s life. These lifestyle sessions are perfect for remembering that first day forever. Shots of your little one’s first yawns, cute little baby feet, fingers, belly button will be documented. First feedings. Diaper changes. All of those amazing meetings with family members for the first time. Also, I will capture those quiet moments between you and your new little one. I will come to your place of birth within 48 hours. This is not a traditional newborn session; I will not pose the baby or bring props or lights. These images are usually take in documentary style with lots of use of black and white images.
LIFESTYLE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY - Lifestyle newborn photography is a very minimalist approach. You photograph the baby in its environment, typically the clients home. You get images of the baby in their newly decorated nursery, with parents, and in their natural environment. Lifestyle photography sessions take place within the first 14 days of life. I show up to the client’s home with me and my camera gear, and only that. There are no baskets nor themed outfits to put the babies in. I catch a glimpse of you and your newborn in the essence of their home. Lifestyle newborn sessions are just that - capturing your lifestyle!
TRADITIONAL NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY - Traditional newborn photography takes place in a studio. Studio images are timeless and classic if you love the look and style of squishy babies. We provide and give access to all props, outfits, hats, headbands, wraps, etc. Everything needed to provide these type of photos are here and ready to use. Studio images tend to have more of an artistic style that you would love to post on your walls or newborn nursery. We have controlled temperature setting and use studio lights for a more streamlined effect. Studio sessions take place between 5 and 14 days of life.
