All newborn sessions do not have to be completed in the first 10 days of life if you do not want the curled up sleeping shots. Lifestyle newborn photography is another alternative for newborn portraits. Lifestyle portraits are done in the comfort of your own home and can occur during the first 10 days or up to 6 weeks of age. With the older newborn, there will be some limitations in the different shots available. Usually the baby is more awake and therefore less sleeping shots are available. The curled up poses are also a little more difficult to get baby to pose in once past 14 days. However, they are still a wonderful time to document in the babies life.

Baby B was 5 weeks old when I came and visited his home with his wonderful parents and animal sibling, Buddy. What a wonderful home they have and what a joy to photograph in. It had tons of light and everything was neutral decor (and very clean I should add!). I hope they didn’t spend the day before my arrival cleaning the whole house. Never worry about that because we can always rearrange furniture or move things out of the picture. Thanks again C family and I hope to see Baby B for some milestone pictures.
