OMG mama (or expecting mama!) If you are reading this blog post it probably means you are expecting or working on it, and I am already so excited for you!

Welcoming a new baby is such a special time, and choosing the perfect setting for your newborn photos can make your memories even more meaningful. Both studio and in-home newborn photography have their own unique benefits, and understanding the differences can help you decide what’s best for your family.

Studio Newborn Photography

Studio sessions offer a controlled environment designed to create soft, dreamy newborn portraits. Below are some of the benefits of having your newborn session in a studio:

Benefits of Studio Sessions:

  • Perfect Lighting: My natural light studio in Old Greenwich is set up to provide soft, flattering light for those delicate newborn features.
  • Minimal Prep for Parents: The studio is equipped with cozy wraps, and everything we need for your session, so you don’t need to worry about creating the perfect setup at home.
  • Consistent Results: The studio setting allows for predictable lighting and a calm environment that helps your baby stay settled.

Best For: Families looking for timeless, newborn portraits.

In-Home Newborn Photography

In-home sessions focus on capturing your family in the comfort of your own home, embracing your space and lifestyle.

Benefits of In-Home Sessions:

  • Personal Touch: Your home becomes part of the story, making the photos feel even more meaningful.
  • Comfortable for Baby: Staying in a familiar environment can help your baby feel relaxed and calm.
  • More Candid Moments: In-home sessions naturally allow for cozy, snuggly moments like rocking your baby in their nursery or cuddling on the couch as a family.

Best For: Families who love a relaxed, authentic feel with plenty of candid interactions and personal details included.

Which Option Is Right for You?

Consider these factors when deciding between studio or in-home newborn photography:

  • Your Home’s Lighting: If your home has large windows with great natural light, in-home sessions can be stunning. If not, the studio offers ideal lighting conditions every time.
  • Your Vision: Do you prefer posed portraits with curated props or a more natural, storytelling vibe?
  • Your Comfort Level: If you’re feeling overwhelmed in those early postpartum days, my studio offers a calm, stress-free environment where everything is ready for you.

Whichever you choose, both options result in beautiful, heartfelt images that celebrate your growing family.
