lifestyle newborn

Life is made up of small moments that often mean the most.

Those moments should be captured for you to look back on and cherish.

Those first few weeks with a newborn? They're a blur of tiny yawns, sweet snuggles, and that brand new baby smell. And honestly, they go by in a blink! My lifestyle newborn sessions are all about capturing those real, everyday moments in your home. No stiff poses or props, just you and your little one, being yourselves. Let's freeze these precious, fleeting moments so you can remember them forever.

Fill out the contact form or send me an email to hello@monicamphoto.com. We'll basically just chat about what you're thinking for the session, where you'd like it, and if you have any fun ideas.

let's chat!

To book your session, I just need a signed contract, a quick questionnaire, and a deposit to hold your spot. Super easy! I'll send over a style guide with some ideas for what to wear and how to prepare your home for the session. I want you to feel comfortable and confident, so I'm happy to help with any questions you might have about outfits, colors, or anything else!

make it happen

We'll meet at your home, where you and your little one are most comfortable. I'll gently guide you through the session, ensuring a relaxed and cozy atmosphere for everyone. We'll take breaks for feeding, changing, and cuddling, and I'll capture those sweet, natural interactions between you and your baby.

frequently asked

when is the best time to schedule my newborn session?

It's best to schedule your newborn session within the first two weeks after birth. This is when your baby is sleepiest and most likely to curl up into those adorable poses. But don't worry if you miss that window! We can still capture beautiful images of your little one at any age.

What should I do to prepare my home for the session?

Choose a room with plenty of natural light, like your living room or bedroom. We will mainly be photographing in one or two spaces. Clear away any clutter and make sure the temperature is comfortable for your baby. If you have any special items you'd like to include, such as a favorite blanket, stuffed animal, or heirloom outfit, feel free to have those ready.

what should my baby wear for the session?

Simple is best! A plain onesie or swaddle works perfectly. I'll also bring a variety of wraps and accessories to add some visual interest.

What if my baby is fussy during the
session?

No worries, it's completely normal for newborns to get fussy! I'm patient and experienced in working with babies, and I'll take breaks for feeding and soothing as needed.

Time moves fast. Your growing belly, your baby’s tiny fingers, the laughter of your family, the love you share as a couple, and those special celebrations deserve to be captured. I cannot wait to create something special for you!
