Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of the most important milestones a family can experience.  Choosing the right newborn photography style is all about what suits your needs best.  As a Winnipeg newborn photographer with over 15 years experience I offer both.

The truth is both styles are beautiful, but completely different.  This guide will help Winnipeg parents understand the differences.

What is Studio Newborn Photography?

Studio newborn photography is done in my controlled studio environment in the heart of St Boniface.  It is warm, calm and set up specifically for those very posed portraits.

When you think of this style picture:

- curled up sleepy baby

- props, wraps, tiny outfits and accesories

- professional lighting, backdrops and anything else I will need to get those perfect poses

Benefits of Winnipeg Studio Newborn Sessions?

- full control of lighting and temperature.  Ideal for consistency no matter how bad the weather is 

- access to all of my props, backdrops, wraps, outfits and accessories to make your experience easy.  You just bring baby.

- Relaxing!  You can just sit on the couch and let me do the work.  No house cleaning needed.

Best age for studio newborn photography?

I am for under two weeks old but have options for up to 2 months old.

What is Lifestyle Newborn Photography?

These sessions are done in the comfort of your own home.  We focus on more relaxed natural connections between your family.  These sessions are more unposed and storytelling.

What does a lifestyle session look like?

- snuggled on the couch or bed

- feeding baby

- sibling and pet interactions

- nursery details

- candid moments

Benefits to Winnipeg lifestyle newborn sessions?

- no need to leave the house.  Let's face it, winter is hard

- babies age for the session is far more flexible

- capture genuine family moments 

- showcase your babies nursery

Which Newborn Photography Style is right for you?

You may prefer studio if:

- you love soft, timeless, posed portraits

- you want those sleepy images

- you prefer the professional look of lighting and props

- you want a calm experience without the stress of preparing your home

You may prefer lifestyle if: 

- you prefer candid, natural moments

- you would rather stay at home
