Lifestyle Newborn Photography Session in Seattle

A Tricky Session

This was a tricky session. First of all, I specialize in posed studio newborn photography. I have my studio lighting that is constant and doesn’t change, unlike natural light which is unpredictable. Good lighting to a photographer is everything and I believe that to be a successful lifestyle newborn photographer, you need to master the art of tricky lighting situations. This was it for me. It was so dark in this small but adorable Seattle home, and it didn’t help that we shot the session around 3pm in the middle of winter.

Anyway, I am surprisingly happy with the results and I have been dying to share some of this lifestyle newborn session goodness with you all. Here are some of my favorites. P.S. I thiiiink I’m going to try and do more lifestyle sessions after this! I’m kinda diggin’ the natural, more simple and unpolished style. It feels cozy…
