Capture your family’s most important milestones with newborn photography
When it comes to newborn photography in Idaho, there are several styles to choose from. It’s important to plan for these types of sessions in advance, because the newborn stage can fly by!
Planning an infant photo shoot can involve capturing candid moments at home, staged poses in a professional studio, or a special type of session we call Fresh 48. Each style has its own unique charm that helps create lasting memories of your baby's earliest days, and you might prefer some styles over others! We have packages that allow you to include multiple styles of newborn photography.
Fresh 48 Baby Photography
Fresh 48 sessions are done within the first two days after baby is born at the hospital (keep this in mind when planning when you will be checking out of the hospital or birthing center). These photos are more than just pictures—they encapsulate a sense of emotion, connection, and the newness of family life. It's a time when everyone is still adjusting, and it’s often full of raw, beautiful moments.
Fresh 48 photoshoots often include the baby, parents, and sometimes siblings or other close family members. It’s a way to visually capture the early bonding and the family’s first interactions with the newborn. Unlike traditional posed newborn photoshoots, which often happen when the baby is a little older (2-14 days), Fresh 48 sessions tend to be more natural, candid, and calm. Fresh 48 sessions take place during the morning hours or first thing in the early afternoon.
Fresh 48 sessions focus on the experience of your baby first 48 hours.
Candid and Lifestyle Home Baby Photography
Lifestyle baby photography in your home is all about capturing the genuine, unscripted connection you share with your little bundle of joy. From cuddles on the couch to tender moments in the nursery, these sessions paint a candid picture of your everyday life as new parents.
The home setting allows everyone to be in the most relaxed setting and we focus on genuine emotions and natural interactions. We’ll work with you to choose locations in the home, documenting an authentic snapshot of the newborn phase. If your new baby has siblings, these sessions are great to smoothly incorporate them too! These tender family moments, from parent's gentle touch to newborn yawns, are treasures to be cherished and we will photograph all the little details.
Lifestyle newborn sessions focus on the experience of bonding with your baby in the first few weeks.
