lifestyle newborn photography

A lifestyle newborn session lets families look back on this sweet and intimate time with their newborn baby and relive all the first cuddles, the teeny tiny baby parts, and the newly unfolding relationships and family dynamics. It is a time filled with so much adoration and love and absolute wonder at the miracle that has entered your lives, but these fleeting memories fade so easily after months of little sleep and growth spurts and new milestones. I will tell your story of this memorable time in your life.

the process

Vancouver newborn photographer session in nursery
01.

The test is positive!

When you feel the stirring of new life in your belly, and you know that your life has changed forever, you also know that this time is so precious, you want to bottle up every tiny second. It is best to book your newborn session 2-3 months before your due date. Simply sign the contract and pay the session fee, and I clear out my calendar around the anticipated session date.

02.

The maternity miracle

In addition to being a Vancouver newborn photographer, I also love capturing your pregnancy journey as an add-on so you can remember the miracle of creating and carrying a life in your womb. It forms the perfect start to a incredible love story that culminates in your newborn session, blending seamlessly from one life stage to the next in your album.

03.

The Big Day is here

Once you have a moment to wipe away the tears of joy, and you can tear yourself away from staring at your newborn baby in awe, let me know that baby has arrived. We will firm up a date for your session. Fresh 48 add-ons are also available to capture the raw emotions, and the absolute freshness of a new life hours after birth.

04.

It’s Photo Day!

About 1-3 weeks after birth, once you’re settled into your new roles and routines, I will come to document the new relationships, the little newborn features, and the circle of love in your new family. It’s a relaxed, no-stress session, spent simply loving on this new little star in our midst, and taking our cues from baby.

05.

The Big Reveal

Expect a couple of sneak peeks within a day or so! Within 2 weeks of your session, your full gallery will be presented online for you to review in the comfort of your home. I’m sure you are going to love them all, but my commitment to you is always to only buy what you love, so choose your collection, and any additional prints, art pieces and albums.

06.

Let’s talk about art

Your photos are part of your story as a family, and it makes no sense to keep those memories sitting forgotten in a dusty corner of your hard drive. I provide a free artwork consultation to offer ideas on how you can display your gorgeous family photos in your home.

…she made everything look so effortless…

Rochelle is amazing! She is professional yet very personal, takes amazing photos and also lovely to talk to. At our session, she had to work with a newborn and a high energy toddler, but she knew exactly what to do and made everything look so effortless.

have questions?

As a Vancouver newborn photographer, I capture what your brand new family looks like right in your home. A lifestyle newborn session takes place in your own familiar environment, where you are most comfortable and relaxed, and so is baby. Seeing the real life interaction between you and your partner and baby, set against the backdrop of the nursery and all the little parts of your home that they will want to remember one day is SO rewarding.

You don’t need a designer home with floor to ceiling windows to have an absolutely gorgeous in-home photo session. The beauty of any house is vested in the people that call it home, and seeing your growing family in the surroundings where they feel most comfortable, will make for authentic photos telling an authentic story. In most houses, the main bedroom and the living room receives the best light and so we will use that most, and if baby has a nursery, I will be shooting in there as well. A simple declutter (read: throw everything into the closet) in these 3 rooms is all that is needed to get your home ready for the session.

There is no need to buy a new outfit for every family member (sorry, shopaholics!). Lifestyle sessions are meant to focus on the relationships between family members, and not so much the clothing that they wear. As such, the general guidance I have is to not wear clothing that takes the focus away. Otherwise, be yourself and be comfortable. I truly believe that the interactions and expressions in the photos we create together will be what makes you treasure an image, not so much what you’re wearing or where you’re standing. After booking your session I will send you a complete session guide with home prep advice, clothing guidance, etc.

Each collection offers some (or all) digital files. In addition, I offer unique, heirloom products to show off your beautiful images in your home, some of which are included in collections (meaning I do all the hard work of printing and ordering and designing for you!).

I look at each and every image I take at your session and hand select the best images. We only want to keep images that are genuine, relaxed and full of natural connections (and flattering to all family members!). I pick a minimum of 60 images (usually more!), so you can be assured you’re getting a great variety of poses, angles and storytelling moments.

I typically book out one to three months in advance. If you are interested in a newborn session, please book your session as soon as you can WHILE you’re pregnant. Please do not wait until your baby is born as my schedule fills up very quickly and I do not want you to be left without newborn photos. Already delivered? I do try to leave a few openings in my schedule for newborn sessions. Contact me immediately to see if I can squeeze you in.

Our BC Provincial Health Officers have deemed it safe for a Vancouver newborn photographer offering in-home services to continue during this phase of the Provincial Restart Plan, provided that we have COVID protocols in place and we follow them without fail. It goes without saying that the health and safety of both my family and yours is front and center in my mind at all times. I will be rescheduling your session if anyone in my household has displayed any symptoms related to the flu within 2 weeks of your session, and I ask that you do the same. In addition, I wear a mask at all times during the session, and practice very strict hand hygiene, sanitizing my hands several times before, during and after our session. I maintain a physical distance as much as possible during our session, and I do not touch baby unless absolutely necessary.
