I have started a new type of newborn photography service to cater my growing clients based around Philadelphia, Pa. Its called Hybrid Newborn Photography. Its basically a combination of cozy wrapped newborn baby photos with some candid shots of the entire family. I feel that this works especially well at most clients at-home sessions. This type of package allows for the new baby to be the star in all of its individual poses in various wraps, baskets, etc. While at the same time, I get to capture the true surroundings of where the baby will grow with the lifestyle part of the session.
I got to try this Hybrid version of newborn photography at my recent session with sweet returning clients based in Bryn Mawr. I have worked with this family in the past. I did their maternity session, as well as first newborn and one year old photos of their first born. I was pretty excited to meet them again.
Baby Mann did not disappoint:) He was the most calm and sleepy baby I have worked with. He was totally chill which in return made the whole atmosphere at ease. I got to photograph him in 2 different wraps, one outfit and various baskets/crates. The parents were totally relaxed and kept the newborns brother (who is 3 now) busy while I did the babies’ individual shots.
Upon completion of the newborn posed shots, I gathered the family in two rooms (one of which is the babies nursery) and took photos of them mesmerized at the beautiful blessings surrounding them. These family shots are super important. I remember taking photos of the first time my children got to meet their siblings. In the same way, Baby Manns older brother was super excited for this new addition. This lifestyle part allows me to capture the raw interactions.
This Hybrid Version of Newborn Photography is something I feel makes everyone feel at ease. It gives the newborn baby maximum attention with the individual shots as well as caters to those that want to remember how it actually was to hold that new baby around the house that they will grow up in.
Check out the newborn session below and if you are interested in this kind of setup, be sure to contact me here ! I would love to capture you and your new bundle as soon as possible!
