How to Photograph Your Own Newborn Session – Photography in Quarantine

Photography in the time of Quarantine

Yup. Although nothing similar to that story, that title sure feels like where we are right now. A crazy worldwide pandemic that has basically stopped the world in its tracks. Everyone staying home and staying safe to help contain the spread of anything further than it has already gone. One thing that can’t stop, though? Babies being born and children growing up. But what CAN’T and ISN’T happening right now for the foreseeable future are the photography sessions capturing those moments. In a series of posts here on the blog, I am going to share with you some tips and tricks to help you photograph your own babies during this time. This post talks a bit about how to Photograph your own newborn sessions! You can see the posts on Fresh 48 Hospital sessions HERE and the post on Baby’s First Year Milestone Sessions HERE

Please realize as with learning anything else, your photos will not look like mine in the end. I have been doing this for 13 years and have different equipment, knowledge, editing programs, etc. HOWEVER, no one is able to get professional photos done at this point so ANY are better than none!! I talk in my class that I teach how important it is to not miss the moments no matter your skill or knowledge level. And these moments? They’re definitely big ones.

Newborn Session

Oh newborns. The sweet tiny babies that we have brought home from the hospital. They change so very much in those first few weeks and I don’t want you to miss a thing about them while we are all stuck at home. You’ll find if you read my Fresh 48 post that a lot of this is similar. The newborn session is a bit more involved but some of the basic tenets are the same.

What You'll Need

Attleboro Newborn Photo Session

The S family contacted me to photograph their second child’s newborn portraits. I’ve worked with them once before and was thrilled to hear they were expecting again and wanted me to document it! They had their second girl, named Ellie. We scheduled an in-home newborn session at their Attleboro home.

The O Family reached out to me to schedule a newborn session. This was my first time working with them; I love gaining new clients! Mom and I talked about what they envisioned for newborn and family portraits. She loved the idea of an in-home newborn session. We also talked about possibly stepping outside for a few photos pending the weather that day. One of the perks of an in-home session is the possibility of some outdoor photos!

I’ve been documenting the Q family’s big moments for years. Baby Caroline Rose is their fourth and last child to be born. I also photographed their maternity session when she was in her mama’s tummy. You can view that blog post at the link below!

This is the B family’s third child and the third newborn I’ve photographed for them. When mom, Chelsea, contacted me to book for the third time I was over the moon excited! I offer in-home newborn photography. That means I travel to a family’s home with everything I need for family, parent, sibling and baby portraits. I bring items to photograph your baby on soft, beautiful fabrics for their solo portraits, as well as other important items I might need during your session. You get to stay home while I document your family in the most special place.

The Bailow family have such a beautiful home, this makes for even more stunning newborn photos! We used their same home for all three newborn sessions so I was very familiar with the best lighting and rooms. It’s been such a blessing watching their family grow! Working with the same photographer as your children grow up means your kiddos get to know me, thus making them more comfortable around me!

Big brothers, Maren and Jack, were excited to have a new baby brother to protect and cuddle. I find in-home sessions to be so much easier for children. They get to be in their own environment, and when their portion of the session is over they get to go play or have a snack. Parents seem to love it!

Here are my favorite images from baby Clovis’ newborn portrait session!
