Your Call for In Home Sessions
Alright, I'm back for my second blog post. I want to switch gears and focus on something a little more specific. We're going to talk about in-home sessions. These type of sessions may not be for everyone. However, they can have some real benefits.
Recently, I did a newborn session in the family home and it was such a precious moment that I was glad to share with them. For this blog I am going to focus on the benefit of newborn sessions in home.
I am not great at small talk so I am going to get right to it.
Benefits of an in-home session:
Familiarity and a relaxing setting for you and for baby. Let’s be honest during those first few weeks no one‘s really relaxed. However, your smell is baby’s comfort. Nothing smells more like you than home.
Access to you and your baby needs whether it’s a bottle, paci’s, blankets, etc. Or it’s just a room where you can go off for a minute and calm down. Whatever it may be it’s there at your fingertips. And bonus - you don’t have to pack it up.
Short story when I had my newborn session, I had it done in a studio and the photos were beautiful. However, I forgot the wipes. So there I was a new mom trying to make do with the poopy diaper, making my own wipes in the bathroom, trying to figure it all out while corralling my outfit and Elijah‘s outfits. Again, the pictures were beautiful and I am so glad to have them. But it added a little extra stress and Who forgets the wipes!
Sentimentality and added meaning to your portraits. You will have an automatic connection to your images. Even if you move, you will have that cherished memory of where you took baby home.
It can save you time from getting yourself ready and trying to get the family out the door. That extra drive time can really add to the chaos. If you’re still applying mascara or deciding between which shirt to wear, no problem!
So now you’re thinking, “okay that’s great but my house isn’t set up for photos.” That’s okay! We can work around your home. You don’t have to have a perfectly clean house, I can help tidy up the areas we will use.
This type of session may not be for you. If a studio seems like the way to go, by all means choose that option! These are your memories and should be what speaks to you. However, if you’re looking for something more personal and cozy I recommend reaching out and exploring this option.
