Selecting The Best Type of Newborn Session For Your Family | Maryland Newborn Photographer

When selecting which type of newborn session is right for your family, we now have three options. These options include a 1 hour outdoor session, a 1 1/2 hour at home petite session or a 3 hour at home posed newborn sessions.

In Home Newborn Sessions:

We currently offer two types of in-home sessions, a lifestyle newborn session and posed newborn session.

Deluxe Newborn Sessions:

These sessions last about 3 hours and include many images of your newborn posed. Session occur when your baby is no more than 2 weeks old.  Typical images include babies sleeping, curled into a bowl or on a soft blanket backdrop wearing an adorable knit wrap. Posed images of family members with the baby are also included.

Petite Newborn Session:

The lifestyle at home session is about 1 1/2 hour long and includes images that are less posed. We focus more on the interaction and love between family members while still capturing image of the baby alone. The images are generally more natural, candid and your baby may be awake or asleep when they are photographed.

Outdoor Newborn Sessions:

Outdoor newborn sessions have been the perfect way to document growing families that felt more comfortable meeting outside. Outdoor newborn session became very popular in 2020 and have remained a favorite type of session for many. It offers a quicker, Covid friendly session including beautiful backgrounds and unique images. Sessions are one hour long and take place in a nearby park, garden or in your backyard. This gives us plenty of time to capture images of the baby alone, with parents, siblings and the whole family together. These sessions are perfect for babies of any age.

Which is right for your family?

Every family and every situation is different. If your baby is over 2 weeks old or you don’t think you’d be ready to be photographed within the first 14 days, then I definitely recommend either the lifestyle at home session or the outdoor session. Otherwise any session can work for you, it’s just a matter of preference.
