If you have been wondering how to have beautiful newborn photos at home, but are worried about your messy house, you’ve come to the right place! Welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood! As a new mom in the San Francisco Bay Area, you’re navigating the beautiful chaos of early parenthood. I’m here to assure you that a messy house is no obstacle to capturing amazing moments with your newborn. I’m sharing some practical tips to help you embrace the joy of your new addition without stressing about a perfectly tidy home.
Focus on a Few Key Areas
- Instead of attempting to clean your entire home, concentrate on tidying up one or two main areas where you plan to have the photo session. Perhaps it’s the nursery and the living room. One or two spaces can easily create cozy backdrops for your newborn’s first portraits.
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
- Newborn sessions are about capturing genuine moments, not showcasing a spotless home. Don’t worry about a messy kitchen or items left out. These details add authenticity to your photos and tell the real story of life with a newborn.
Ask for Assistance
- When I arrive for the photo session, I’m more than happy to lend a helping hand. Whether it’s picking up items, arranging blankets, or making small adjustments, my goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for you. You may also have family or friends who plan on stopping by to meet the new baby – ask for them to come the day before your session to help with the clean up!
Prioritize Comfort Over Perfection
- As a new mom, I want your focus to be on your baby’s comfort and your own well-being. Relax and enjoy the session without worrying about achieving perfection. A cozy and comfortable atmosphere creates the best backdrop for capturing those precious early moments, nothing else truly matters, I promise.
Remember, I’m Here for You
- Your job is to savor the fleeting moments with your newborn, not stress about the state of your home. You can trust in my expertise as a lifestyle photographer. I’ve worked in various settings -small apartments, dark rooms and everything in-between. My priority is to create beautiful images that reflect your family’s unique story.
Capture Everyday Moments
- Embrace the reality of your daily life with a newborn. Whether it’s a stack of baby blankets, or a pile of baby clothes waiting to be folded, these everyday scenes make for authentic and memorable photographs.
Let Go of Perfection
- Perfectly posed photos are not the goal of a lifestyle newborn session. Instead, I aim to capture the genuine love, joy, and connection within your family. Embrace the imperfections, and cherish the real moments that unfold during the session.
Your newborn’s first weeks and months are a whirlwind of emotions, and I want your photo session to be a cherished part of this special time. So, let go of the pressure to have a spotless home, and focus on what truly matters—the love and joy your family shares. As a Bay Area photographer, I’m committed to creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience for you. Your messy house is not a problem—it’s a beautiful backdrop for authentic, heartwarming newborn photos.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to make your newborn photos at home as relaxed as possible, ensuring you have stunning photographs to treasure for a lifetime.
