Newborn Lifestyle Photography | Omaha Newborn Photographer

Omaha residents (and surrounding areas) are pretty lucky because there’s no shortage of great photographers. The big question is what style of newborn photography in Omaha would you like for your family? The style I specialize in is in-home newborn lifestyle photography. Yeah, that’s a mouthful. Basically what that means is your session takes place at your house and lifestyle means that it’ll be unposed. But don’t worry, you won’t need to worry about what to do!

A brief description of what I do: I come to your home and document this moment in your life in a true and authentic way. It’s definitely not a “sit there and act natural” experience because is there really a way to act natural while there’s a camera awkwardly pointing at you?! 🙂 It’s more guided direction but without specific posing. My goal is that you look at your pictures and see yourself in them and not merely you in a pretty picture.

I know it sounds scary to have pictures taken in your house. Everyone always thinks their house has to be Pinterest perfect and that’s so not the case. You’ll be too in love with what’s going on in the photo to be concerned with anything else. Don’t believe me? Well can you tell me anything about this house without scrolling back up? Chances are the answer is no. That’s because the babies and the connection you feel in these pictures are what grabs your attention. Also, as you can see with all of these, I shoot pretty close so there’s not too much of the house in the pictures anyways. Bottom line, don’t let that hold you back.

And come on, you don’t have to leave your house! It never fails that baby’s can sense something is up the day of your session and will begin acting completely different. You may need to feed them more or change them more or they may be more fussy and having all their supplies at your disposal will ease your stress. You also get to stay home and be in the comfort of your own couch and rock in the nursery you created just for your family. There will always be an ease being at home than being at someplace new.

The ultimate reason in-home sessions are the best (in my opinion) is it’s often very chaotic after having the baby. The time in the hospital is really just a blur then you are overwhelmed when you come home and realize you are now a parent and responsible for this baby and you are clueless what you’re supposed to do. Not to mention, you and your partner are like ships passing in the night. Sounds awful, right? But having an in-home lifestyle session scheduled means that for the 2 hours I’m there, life will slow down, you’ll get to breathe slower and soak in the magic of your baby and sink into the arms of your partner. You’ll slowly fall deeper in love with each other and the baby and you’ll realize just how blessed you are. Trust me, it happens every time. And that’s really what it’s all about, connecting and relaxing. It doesn’t get better.
