I really want Boston newborn photos that feel relaxed and like us. What does a Boston lifestyle newborn photo session entail?

Lifestyle newborn sessions are all about feeling relaxed and natural. There are no props, fancy headbands, or unnatural poses. We spend an hour or two together relaxing and photographing the connection and love for your new baby in all the places you normally hang out! We spend time in your primary bedroom, your baby’s nursery, the common spaces like your family room or kitchen. Nothing is forced and everything is baby-led. If your baby needs feeding or soothing, that’s what we do! Here are some common photos you can expect to see in a lifestyle newborn gallery

I am concerned about my toddler’s ability to hold still during the newborn session. How do you handle this?

As a mom of three boys, toddler energy is something I am well-versed in! The good news is that I absolutely *don’t* expect your toddler to hold still during the newborn photoshoot. Toddlers and stillness usually don’t go hand in hand. We do a lot of laughing and joking, jumping and running, piggybacks and snuggles. We take snack breaks and move around a lot to keep their attention. Some toddlers LOVE their new sibling and others take a while to warm up. Believe me that we will get wonderful newborn photos that you’ll treasure no matter what mood your big sibling is in! Read more about toddlers and newborns here.

I am not sure what to wear for the newborn session, I don’t feel my best post-partum. What do you suggest?

I send all of my newborn clients a newborn styling email one month before their session date so that they can begin to think about outfits before baby makes their arrival. This email includes some basic tips and do’s and dont’s when thinking about outfits. Sometimes the “rules” of what might look good in real life don’t translate to on camera and I want every client to look and feel their best when they see their photos. My goal is to help new parents feel comfortable, but also dress in a flattering way that complements their space. Click here for some tips and newborn photo examples of how to select outfits.

"She was patient, kind, and made us feel very comfortable seven days into new parenthood."

Lyndsay was AMAZING for our in-home newborn session. She was patient, kind, and made us feel very comfortable seven days into new parenthood. We appreciated her direction, how she worked with our darker apartment, and how open she was to doing any shots we specifically wanted.
We received our gallery in under a week and the photos are breathtaking. We are in awe of the moments she captured and so, so grateful that we have these memories in the early days when our girl was just days old.

"Lyndsay was able to capture some amazing moments of our new family of four, even with our nursery only half finished."

My family and I really enjoyed our experience working with Lyndsay for our newborn photos. I am a photographer myself, so I am picky about who I will work with, and I'm so glad we went with Lyndsay. She was very flexible when our twins were born early and we thought we might need to adjust our date. She also was great about following COVID protocols and being up front about potential risk.
