Why Natural Light Matters for Newborn Photography
Natural light is the most important element of any in-home newborn session. Soft, ambient light creates a gentle, flattering, and beautiful feel throughout your photos, highlighting tiny features, delicate textures, and the tender connection between baby and family. Before your session:
• Identify the brightest spots in your home—large windows, sunrooms, or light-colored spaces work best.
• Clear away clutter to create open, airy backgrounds that let your baby shine.
• Consider light-colored walls, bedding, and blankets to help reflect natural light and keep images soft and timeless.
Having an environment rich in natural light makes photos feel calm, warm, and authentic—perfect for your timeless newborn gallery.

Preparing Your Home for the Session
To make the most of your in-home newborn session:
1. Choose Cozy, Comfortable Spaces – Select rooms where your baby feels safe, relaxed, and calm. Bedrooms, nurseries, or living rooms with large windows are ideal.
2. Minimize Distractions – Remove toys, clutter, or bright colors that could draw attention away from your baby in photos.
3. Prepare Soft Textures – Blankets, swaddles, and pillows in neutral tones create cozy layers that photograph beautifully.
4. Consider Temperature – Babies are most comfortable in warm, draft-free rooms. A space heater (used safely) can help keep your newborn cozy for swaddled or outfit changes.
