Sacramento Newborn Photographer
Bringing a new baby home is one of the most special times in your entire life. It’s a season of snuggles, sleepy smiles, and tiny fingers wrapped around yours. It’s also a season of beautiful chaos, and figuring out a new normal. And that’s exactly why I love lifestyle newborn photography—because it embraces all of it. This session was filled with natural, organic moments in this beautiful family’s custom Sacramento home.
What is Lifestyle Newborn Photography?
Unlike traditional newborn photography, which involves posed setups and props, lifestyle newborn photography is all about capturing the natural connection between you and your baby in the place you love the most—home. Furthermore, there’s something so special about photographing those real, unfiltered moments: the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, the way they stretch and yawn after a nap, or the way your older kids peek at their new sibling with curiosity and love.
Why Choose a Lifestyle Session in the Sacramento area?
- It’s Stress-Free
No need to pack a diaper bag and haul your newborn to a studio. If you live in the greater Sacramento area I will come to you! So that means you get to stay in your comfy space, where you and your baby feel most at ease. - Your Home, Your Story
The nursery you spent months decorating. The couch where you rock your baby at 2 a.m. The bed where your family piles in for snuggles. These are the places that hold meaning. Let’s document them. - Natural & Timeless Images
No elaborate props or unnatural poses—just you and your baby as you are. The result? Photos that feel real and will transport you back to this fleeting season every time you look at them.
What to Expect During Your Session
I keep my sessions relaxed and baby-led, meaning we take breaks whenever needed (because newborns run the show, right?). In addition, I’ll guide you into soft, natural poses but will mostly let the moments unfold organically. My goal is for your session to feel more like a slow morning at home rather than a photoshoot.
Preparing for Your Session
- Keep it simple—Neutral, cozy outfits always photograph beautifully. Soft textures and earth tones keep the focus on your family’s connection.
- Declutter, but don’t stress—No need for a perfectly spotless home. I like to say clear the clutter but don’t worry about mopping the floors.
- Embrace the chaos—Whether your toddler is bouncing on the bed or your baby refuses to settle, don’t worry! Real life is beautiful, and I’ll capture it as it is.
