We’re lucky to have very mild fall and winter seasons here in Houston. But there’s still something about the colder months that makes you want to stay nice and cozy at home, don’t you think? Which is why, if you’re expecting a fall or winter baby, you might consider lifestyle newborn photography!
What is Lifestyle Newborn Photography?
This is a style of newborn photography that focuses on love and relationships as you welcome a new little one into your life. These sessions take place in the comfort of your own home, and are a godsend for busy new moms.
With lifestyle sessions, there’s no need to worry about packing up and heading to the studio. We bring the studio to you! I’ll bring all the equipment, outfits, and props you need. And you’re always welcome to choose outfits from the client closet for yourself or your baby. For an extra luxurious experience, a member of the Analisa Hastings team of hair and makeup stylist can even come beforehand to give you a little pampering and help you feel photo-ready!
Lifestyle Newborn Photography May Be the Perfect Choice If…
If you have other children, lifestyle newborn photography may be the perfect choice for them too. Children often prefer being in their own familiar environment–especially since they’ve just experienced the big change of a new baby brother or sister! Being in the comfort of their own home can help them feel relaxed and make it easier for them to participate in portraits and enjoy the process.
At home newborn sessions are also perfect for the fall and winter months, because these seasons correspond with holidays and visits from family. Including extended family like grandparents or aunts, uncles, and cousins is so easy with a lifestyle session. Again, there is no need to get everyone to coordinate and travel to the studio. Everyone can simply remain comfortably at home and enjoy the process of capturing these memories.
You can even include your fur-babies! There’s no place like home if you want your pets to be part of your photo session. My family and I have two rescue dogs, so I know that pets are important members of the family and am always happy to include them in an at-home newborn session.

Just a little note: I typically do maternity sessions around 30 weeks and newborn sessions at about 14 days old.

My schedule fills up very quickly (often months in advance) so I encourage you to book as soon as possible!
