NÀDARRA NEWBORN LIFESTYLE SESSIONS

you and baby navigating life together

Unlike posed newborn photography, which often relies on props, lifestyle newborn sessions embrace natural interactions and genuine emotion. They capture your baby in their true environment, snuggled in your arms, dozing in their crib, or stretching out in the comfort of home. There’s no pressure for perfection, no rigid setups, just organic moments that reflect the love, connection, and authenticity of your early days together.

In the comfort of your very own home

Capture these intimate moments right in the warmth of your own home. No pressure to hold a certain pose, instead lets document the genuine love, just you and your baby, exactly as you are. The quiet snuggles, sleepy stretches, and milky cries. The joy, the tiredness, but most of all the love.

or in the studio - a home away from home

It’s perfectly ok to want to keep your safe place private, and in these cases, you are welcome to come to the studio, designed to feel like a home away from home. I have created a space where you can relax and be yourself. With soft, natural lighting and cozy furnishings, allowing you and baby to settle in without any stress.

That’s a completely natural concern, and it’s something every parent worries about! But the beauty of a newborn lifestyle session is that it’s designed to flow at your baby’s pace. There’s no rush, no pressure—just a calm and relaxed environment where your baby’s needs always come first. Whether they need a feed, a cuddle, or simply some time to settle, we take the moments as they come, embracing the reality of new parenthood rather than working against it.
Crying is just another expression of your baby’s journey in the world, and it’s part of what makes this stage so real and special. Some of the most touching images come from those quiet moments of comfort—the way you hold them close, soothe them with gentle touches, or rock them in your arms. It’s all part of your story, and I’m here to document it naturally, without forcing anything. So, truly, there’s no need to worry—your baby will be photographed exactly as they are, in a way that honors this time of love and connection.
The key is to embrace soft, organic tones and comfortable fabrics that complement the warmth and authenticity of the session. I advise earthy tones and neutral colors such as beige, ivory, taupe, soft browns, muted greens, or gentle rust tones work beautifully, as they enhance the cozy, intimate atmosphere without distracting from the true focus—you and your baby.
Flowy, breathable fabrics like linen, cotton, or knits add texture and movement while keeping the look relaxed and timeless. For parents, simple, outfits without bold patterns or logos ensure the images remain classic and cohesive. Soft jumpers, loose dresses, or a casual linen shirts with trouser all work effortlessly.
For the baby, delicate muslin wraps, simple onesies, or bare skin with a snug swaddle are perfect for capturing their natural beauty. Above all, wear what feels most comfortable and authentic to you—these images are about connection and emotion, and the more at ease you feel, the more effortlessly your love will shine through.
The ideal window for a newborn lifestyle photoshoot is typically within the first two weeks after birth, with the sweet spot being between 7 to 14 days old. During this time, babies are still in that dreamy, sleepy phase, naturally curling up and settling easily in their parents' arms. Their delicate features, tiny fingers and toes, and peaceful expressions are beautifully captured during this period.
That said, lifestyle newborn photography is more flexible than posed studio sessions, so if you prefer to wait a little longer, sessions can still be beautiful up to around four to six weeks old. At this stage, babies start showing more personality—stretching, gazing around, and interacting with their surroundings, which can lead to heartfelt, expressive images.
Ultimately, the best time is when it feels right for you. The goal is to capture the raw, tender connection between you and your baby, in the most natural way possible, regardless of age.
