Lifestyle newborn photography in Miami
Capture the most magical moment of your life
Your baby is here! You have waited nine long months and finally, get to see your little one. Now the real fun begins. Lifestyle newborn photography is about capturing all of those precious first moments in a relaxed and natural way.
What is lifestyle newborn photography?
Lifestyle newborn photography is a type of photography that seeks to capture the everyday, natural moments of a newborn’s life. This includes nursing, sleeping, being held by parents and siblings, and anything else that happens in those first few weeks and months.
Newborn, baby, and child photography are different genres that are often mistaken for one another. Newborn photography focuses on the first few days after the baby is born when they still have some characteristics from their time in the womb.
Lifestyle newborn sessions are different from traditional posed newborn sessions in that they are much more relaxed and natural. There is no need to worry about getting the perfect pose or angle, as lifestyle newborn photography is all about capturing the real moments as they happen.
What does a lifestyle newborn session involve?
The ability to deal with newborns successfully requires some experience and attention. Unlike other types of photography, several factors must be considered for the baby to feel at ease and for a successful photo session.
A pleasant atmosphere, a safe location with plenty of natural light, and all the necessary equipment and aids are some of the elements to consider. It is important to remain silent during the photo session, as any noise could bother the baby and make it difficult to take pictures. Therefore, it is best to have only a few people in the studio or space where the photos will be taken.
When should we schedule our newborn photo session?
The best time to book a newborn photography session is during pregnancy. You can plan the session in advance and according to your estimated due date.
A lifestyle newborn session is best conducted when your baby is 5-10 days old. This timeframe allows you to capture all the tiny details, like wrinkled skin, and is perfect for those close-up shots! It also ensures that your baby will be sleepy enough to be posed in different ways without too much fussing. However, my style is natural and spontaneous. I’m always looking for tiny nuances, such as smiles, yawns, and glances, so I don’t need your baby to be asleep all the time.
How long do newborn photoshoot sessions take?
Newborn photoshoot sessions can take anywhere from 1-3 hours, depending on how the baby is doing and how many breaks we need to take. I take an individualized approach with every baby I work with, so the session length may vary.
I want your photos to look exactly as you imagined them, or even better. Likewise, I won’t stop until they’re perfect. But I understand that taking care of a newborn is exhausting, so I will never push you beyond your comfort level or keep you longer than you want to be.
It is an honor and great responsibility to be chosen by a family to document their history in portraits. Therefore, my goal is to capture beautiful, natural moments in a relaxed, stress-free way for everyone involved.

About Me
As a photographer, I often get asked what lifestyle newborn photography is and how it differs from traditional posed newborn photography. And while there are many answers to that question, ultimately, it boils down to two things: connection and emotion.
Lifestyle newborn photography is all about capturing the real, everyday moments of life with a new baby. It’s about documenting the love, joy, and exhaustion of those first few weeks of parenthood. And it’s about telling your unique story beautifully and authentically.
Lifestyle newborn sessions typically take place in the comfort of your home or another location that is special to you. This can make the experience even more personal and intimate, as it truly captures your family in your own element.
