Ok, are you like me and spent a ton of time perfecting your little ones nursery? I know not everyone geeks out like I do on home decor, but my home decor obsession mixed with nesting mode is guaranteed I will be making that nursery all decked out. If you’re anything like me, you are envisioning not only sleepless nights in there but also those darling newborn shots. I mean you did just get it all decked out, let’s show it off a bit. If that sounds like you, then these 5 reasons to book an in home Ventura lifestyle newborn session will help convince you that it’s the right idea.

1: Embrace the comfort of your home

There is no greater relaxed feeling than the comfort of your home. If I am being honest, the best images are those where you “feel” comfortable and relaxed, you end up looking that way too! Also, with a newborn who wants to have to pack everything up to leave and potentially disturb your newborns whole mood. Plus, if you have any other kiddos that are going to be included in the photos, having them at home with their toys etc. is so much more enjoyable for them as well.

2: No travel involved

You won’t be needing to pack up (what feels like) the whole house for a session that takes shorter time than travel. Don’t get me wrong, when the babies are a little older, these outdoor sessions are EVERYTHING (check out one here), but for their first photoshoot I think it is safe to say that staying at home is a much easier option. I know you may be thinking, “ahh my house is not decorated cute”, ” I wish I had Shea McGee to come over and design my whole space before my baby arrives”. I say, tell those thoughts in your head shh. I am guilty of this also, but the reality is we are only getting a tiny glimpse of your house, usually just the corner of a couch or the baby in a basket or on a blanket. You are not going to see your whole house in these images and I will make sure that it looks like you have the absolute perfect home, even if it doesn’t feel like it with your toddlers toys everywhere.

3: You will have beautiful memories of the hard work you put into the nursery (and if you didn’t that is ok too!)

Something I love to include in my daughters baby books are pictures of their nursery. We all know that the look and feel of their room is under our control for only so little time. I want them to be able to look back and see how it looked, all the innocent and sweet details that were included. It is so special to have this memorialized since we know it won’t look like that forever, or for very long.

4: We will be able to capture real life moments

When at home, you will be able to go about your day (while looking all dolled up) holding baby, feeding baby, cuddling together with older siblings etc. without having to overthink it. We can capture the authentic real life moments together and you won’t have to stress to leave the house and arrive somewhere on time. An in home Ventura lifestyle newborn session will be the perfect time to capture those raw moments of babies first few weeks.

5 Capturing high end quality images that will last

Last but not least, deciding to invest in newborn photos can be daunting and leave you feeling like, “why can’t I just take them on my phone or x person just bought a camera to play around with, they can take some shots”. The truth is, to become an expert with the camera, editing, posing AND capturing a newborn specifically in a certain way takes some skill and years of practice. Sure, you can get a few really nice shots on your own and yes you will LOVE them because it is your baby. However, having a professional guide you through the process and making it feel like no work at all will leave you with those dreamy images you see everywhere on Pinterest.

If you are on the fence and deciding whether to book an in home Ventura lifestyle newborn session, I hope this blog helped.
