Is One or Two Months Too Old for a Newborn Session?

As a Seattle newborn photographer, I've had many parents ask me if one or two months is too old for a newborn session. The answer is a resounding no!

In fact, I love photographing one and two-month-old babies just as much as I love photographing newborns. And here's why:

Lifestyle Photography: Capturing Life as It Unfolds

My photography style is rooted in lifestyle photography, which means I capture life as it unfolds. I don't pose or prop babies in unnatural positions. Instead, I focus on capturing the beauty of everyday moments, just as they happen. For one and two-month-old babies, this means capturing their unique personalities, their curious gazes, and their snuggles with loved ones. It means documenting the way they curl up in their parent's arms, the way they grasp their toes, and the way they look up at the world with wonder.

The Same Approach, Regardless of Age

When it comes to photographing one and two-month-old babies, I take the same approach as I do with newborns. I focus on capturing authentic, heartfelt moments that tell the story of your baby's life. I'll photograph your baby in the comfort of your own home, surrounded by the people and things they love. I'll capture the way the light falls on their face, the way they interact with their environment, and the way they connect with their family.

Don't Miss Out on Capturing This Special Time

One to two months is a beautiful age, full of discovery and growth. Your baby is learning new things every day, and their personality is starting to shine through. Don't miss out on capturing this special time. A lifestyle newborn session (yes, I still call it a newborn session, even if your baby is one or two months old!) is the perfect way to preserve the memories of this fleeting time.

Welcoming Your New Arrival: What to Expect at a Lifestyle Newborn Session

The arrival of your newborn is a momentous occasion, filled with joy, love, and endless wonder. As a lifestyle newborn photographer, I'm honored to help you capture the beauty and intimacy of this special time. But what exactly happens during a lifestyle newborn session? Let's take a peek.

A Relaxed and Enjoyable Experience

Lifestyle newborn sessions are designed to be relaxed, enjoyable, and stress-free. We'll take things at your pace, allowing you to tend to your baby's needs while I capture the precious moments in between.

No Posing or Props Required

Unlike traditional newborn photography, lifestyle sessions focus on authenticity and simplicity. We won't be using elaborate props or posing your baby in uncomfortable positions. Instead, we'll let your baby's natural beauty shine through, capturing their unique spirit and personality.

Capturing Everyday Moments

Your session will take place in the comfort of your own home, where you and your baby feel most at ease. We'll focus on capturing everyday moments, like:

- Snuggles and cuddles on the couch

- Feedings and bonding time

- Quiet moments of reflection and connection

- Playtime and exploration

Tips for Preparing Your Home

To ensure our session runs smoothly, here are a few tips for preparing your home:

- Keep things simple and clutter-free

- Open curtains and blinds for natural light

- Consider having a few favorite toys or blankets on hand

- Don't worry too much about tidiness – we're going for authenticity, not perfection!

What to Expect During the Session

Here's a general outline of what you can expect during our lifestyle newborn session:

- We'll start with a relaxed introduction, getting to know each other and discussing the session's flow

- I'll gently guide you through a series of everyday activities, capturing the moments in between

- We'll take breaks as needed, allowing you to tend to your baby's needs and recharge

- Our session will typically last around 1-2 hours, depending on your baby's mood and your family's needs

Preserving Memories for a Lifetime

A lifestyle newborn session is more than just a photo shoot – it's a way to preserve the memories of this fleeting time. Your baby will grow and change rapidly, and these early days will become a cherished memory. By capturing the beauty and intimacy of this time, we'll create a stunning collection of images that you'll treasure for a lifetime.
