Lifestyle Newborn Session

Your Family’s Next Chapter…

Lifestyle newborn sessions take place in your home in and around Austin, Albert Lea, Rochester, Owatonna, and southern Minnesota. It’s a beautiful and unique way to capture your new family just as you are.

What’s Included…

• Pre-session consultation with me (online or in person) where we can go over everything to expect, what you can do (or don’t need to bother doing) to prepare, clothing choices, etc.

• I have an ever growing collection of high end headbands and wraps that you can have access to for the session. Many time for lifestyle sessions you’ll have a wrap or outfit of your own you’ll want to use. If not, I have many of my own that I can bring for your session that will coordinate with anything your family is wearing.

• Images are delivered via online gallery.

  • You will receive a proof gallery within 10 days of your session from which you can select your final images (if you can’t pick just the images included with your package you’ll be able to add on additional images if you choose).

  • After you pick your final images send me an email or message to let me know and I’ll begin editing your final gallery.

    • Unlike some photographers who batch edit their photos and don’t take care to edit each photo individually, I treat each of your final selections like what it is…. a picture you love of someone you love.

    • I go through each picture you’ve selected and hand edit it. I adjust the light, colors, and even pay attention to the eyes on each person’s face to make sure each of your photographs is the special thing you were hoping and looking for when you hired me. I treat each one like it could be hung as art in your living room or shown to your grandchildren 30 years from now.

Images are largely documentary in style and are very lightly posed and are your family interacting in their own environment. I give guidance and prompts when needed so that everyone looks their best and know what to do and isn’t left feeling awkward.

Sessions are very laid back and low key. We go at your pace and stop when baby needs to eat or needs a little reset/cuddle. A $150 non-refundable retainer fee is due at the time of booking to reserve your date. It is recommended to do sessions within the first two weeks of when baby is born.

Covid-19 Update

I am currently doing in home Lifestyle Sessions again as long as I am allowed by state, local, and/or federal rules or guidance. I am fully vaccinated and can wear a mask into your home during your session. I ask that if you are not feeling well, are waiting on test results, or have been in contact with a case of known Covid-19, that we reschedule your session and do so when it is safe.
