👶 Studio vs. Lifestyle Newborn Photos — Which Is Right for You?

Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of life’s most beautiful moments, and choosing how to capture those first days is such an exciting part of the journey! At Kate Buckles Photography, we offer both studio and lifestyle newborn sessions — each with its own charm, look, and experience.

If you’re wondering which is right for you, let’s break down the differences so you can choose the style that best fits your family’s vibe. 💕

✨ Studio Newborn Sessions

Timeless. Cozy. Perfectly posed.

Studio sessions are held in our warm, comfortable studio space, designed specifically for newborn photography. Every detail — from the lighting to the wraps — is thoughtfully curated to create classic, beautiful portraits that stand the test of time.

Why families love studio sessions:

• Perfect lighting & temperature: Your baby stays cozy and sleepy while we create stunning, soft-lit portraits.

• Endless styling options: We have every color wrap, backdrop, and prop imaginable — from neutral and natural tones to festive or themed setups.

• Gorgeous, posed images: Think peaceful sleeping poses, sweet details, and those heart-melting close-ups that make you say, “Aww!”

Studio sessions are ideal if you love the clean, polished look of professional newborn portraits or want to include holiday or seasonal themes.

🏡 Lifestyle Newborn Sessions

Natural. Heartfelt. Real-life magic.

Lifestyle sessions take place in the comfort of your own home, capturing your family in a natural and meaningful way. These sessions focus less on posing and more on the connection between you and your new baby.

Why families love lifestyle sessions:

• Your home, your story: Every photo reflects your family’s space, style, and genuine emotions.

• Relaxed and real: You can cuddle on the couch, rock your baby in the nursery, or let siblings interact naturally.

• Perfect for including the whole family: Especially great for little ones who feel more comfortable in their own environment.

Lifestyle sessions are perfect for families who love authenticity and want to remember their baby’s first days in the home where those first memories were made.
