5 Things to Look for When Choosing a Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

  • Portfolio & Style
    Review the photographer’s portfolio to ensure their style aligns with what you’re looking for. Lifestyle newborn photography often has a natural, candid style, capturing the baby and family in everyday moments. Look for images that feel warm, authentic, and intimate, with soft lighting and relaxed poses.
  • Experience & Specialization
    Choose a photographer who specializes in newborn or family photography. Newborns require special handling, and experienced photographers will know how to capture them safely, comfortably, and beautifully. Check how long they’ve been working with newborns and their understanding of newborn safety.
  • Comfort & Connection
    It’s important that you feel comfortable with the photographer. A newborn lifestyle session often includes personal moments with your baby and family, so make sure the photographer is someone you trust and feel at ease with.
  • Reviews & Testimonials
    Look for reviews from other parents who have worked with the photographer. Positive testimonials are a great way to gauge the photographer’s professionalism, communication, and overall experience. Word-of-mouth recommendations from friends and family can also help guide your decision.
  • Packages & Pricing
    Make sure the photographer’s packages and pricing are clear and fit your budget. Some photographers offer all-inclusive sessions, while others might charge separately for prints or digital files. Understand what’s included in the session fee and confirm if there are any additional costs for products like albums or framed photos.
