Deciding between a newborn shoot at home or in the studio can feel like a big choice. Both options have their own special charm, and at Kate Buckles Photography, we love capturing the delicate moments, joy, and laughter in both settings. Here’s a little breakdown to help you decide which is the best fit for your family.
1. At Home: Cozy and Personal
An at-home session offers a more relaxed and intimate feel. Your home provides a comfortable and familiar environment, where your newborn can stay in their natural routine. These sessions are perfect for capturing authentic moments in the spaces that mean the most to you—your nursery, the living room, or even snuggled up on your bed.
Benefits:
More relaxed setting for you and your baby.
Personal touches like the nursery, family heirlooms, and familiar surroundings.
No need to pack up your newborn and head out—just get comfortable!
Considerations:
Lighting and space can sometimes be limited, so we work with what’s available to create beautiful, natural shots.
You won’t have access to studio props or lighting, but the trade-off is a more natural, lifestyle vibe.
2. In the Studio: Classic and Styled
Studio sessions offer a more controlled environment, perfect for achieving a classic, polished look. Our studio is designed with lighting, props, and backdrops that highlight the delicate features of your newborn, ensuring every detail is captured beautifully.
Benefits:
Professional lighting and equipment for perfectly styled photos.
Access to a range of props, backdrops, and swaddles for a curated, custom look.
We can focus solely on your baby with fewer distractions, creating those timeless portraits.
Considerations:
You’ll need to bring your baby to the studio, so there’s a bit of preparation involved.
The session has a more polished and posed feel, which may not capture the natural flow of your daily life, but it does result in stunning, artistic portraits.
3. Which Is Right for You?
If you’re looking for a more relaxed, personal vibe, and want to include the story of your home, an at-home session is a great choice. If you’re after that classic, styled look with perfectly posed images, a studio session will give you those timeless, polished photos.
At Kate Buckles Photography, we’re here to guide you through whichever experience you choose, ensuring that every moment is captured beautifully. Whether it’s the cozy comfort of your home or the timeless elegance of our studio, we’ll create memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
