Bethesda Maryland Outdoor Newborn Session | 5 Reasons Why An Outdoor At-Home Lifestyle Newborn Photography Session Might Be Right For You
As a Maryland Newborn Photographer, I am thrilled to be sharing this outdoor at-home lifestyle newborn session. This year has been such a surreal year. It’s taught us not to take things for granted and it’s showed us how important family really is. Even though the world was put on pause, there are some things in life that had to go on. Babies were still born, milestones were reached and joyous moments continued to happen.
This mama and I started planning a lifestyle newborn session in January. Her twins were due to arrive in April but unfortunately, our plans had to change after the COVID-19 global pandemic took over the world. We made the decision to have a session when it was safer to do so. Fast forward to June and restrictions on outdoor photography had been lifted. So instead of an in-home lifestyle newborn session, we had an outdoor at-home lifestyle newborn style session, in the backyard. At two and half months old, the twins were a little older than we had originally planned, but they are still absolutely adorable. We had a fun session documenting memories with the twins, their parents and their three older brothers!
Newborn photography is a wonderful way to document life after a baby’s arrival. I love lifestyle newborn sessions because of their natural and laid back approach to newborn photography. In the new environment we are living in, we have to adjust how we do things. An option families can consider is an outdoor at-home newborn photography session. Here are 5 reasons why an outdoor at-home newborn photography session may be right for you.
1. An outdoor at-home newborn photography sessions adapts to the current world we are living
One of the things I love about in-home lifestyle newborn sessions is that the family is more relaxed in their own home. However, to adapt to the world we are living in and to adapt to social distancing rules, an outdoor option is something to consider. Having an outdoor at-home lifestyle newborn session, allows families to still be in the comfort of their home, but in their backyard or on their porch.
2. At-home newborn photography sessions are convenient
I remember the days after my son’s arrival; leaving the house was a monumental task that required a lot of physical and mental preparation. I just preferred not to go anywhere. With an at-home session, the photographer comes to you. You just have to step out onto your porch or backyard. You don’t have to pack up your diaper bag, load the entire family into the car or drive anywhere. It’s just one less thing to worry about while mom is recovering and the whole family is getting used to a new normal.
3. Outdoor at-home newborn photography sessions are done in a familiar setting for the family
An at-home session means that you are being photographed as you are, where you are most comfortable - at home. Your family is going to be more relaxed at home. Your new baby is going to be more comfortable in a place with familiar sounds and smells. The images that are captured are going to be more relaxed because everyone is comfortable.
4. At-home sessions are easier for the entire family
An at-home session is less disruptive to everyone’s routine. You don’t have to disrupt the baby’s feeding schedule. If mom needs to pump, she can take a quick break during the session. Older siblings can take breaks and go about their business, which is less stressful for everyone. Dads can also take breaks if they need or want to. At-home sessions are easier and less stressful for the entire family.
5. At-home sessions tell your family’s unique story
Your home and family are unique. An at-home session captures your unique family story. It captures the details of the baby, the family dynamic and the emotional connection that are best captured at home. It tells a short story of what your life is like at that moment in time, when you welcomed your new bundle of joy home.
I would love to work with your family, to capture precious moments of your new bundle of joy. If you are interested in booking an outdoor at-home lifestyle newborn session, click on the button below to contact me!
