Lifestyle Newborn Session by Destiney Ford Photography

I met this sweet couple last year when they hired me for a beach session in Mexico Beach, FL. Come to find out, they were actually from my hometown! What a small world!

Hunter was barely showing during her family session at the beach, but we took an announcement picture at the end of that session. I was beside myself when she reached back out to ask about documenting her lifestyle newborn session. I couldn’t wait to get them back on the schedule.

We recommend scheduling your lifestyle newborn session for a time when baby is 5 days-2 weeks old. Newborns are usually a little sleepier at that time which allows your session to run smoother. If you would like to schedule a lifestyle newborn session, please contact us ASAP!

WINTER SESSIONS?!

When we think about getting pictures made, most of us automatically picture florals or fall foliage. Right? We want warm weather with something blooming and frilly outfits or light sweaters and gorgeous, bold leaves in the background. But what if I told you there are plenty of reasons why you should take advantage of winter sessions.

REASON #1

The golden light! OH-EM-GEE! Since the trees are bare, that beautiful sunlight sets behind the trees and creates this beautiful, warm glow that radiates in every image. This fun tidbit actually brings me to reason number two!

REASON #2

You don’t have to wait until 8-9 PM to get a gorgeous sunset session. How many of you scheduled your family portraits and your photographer put you down for 7:30 PM? We love golden hour and unfortunately that means spring and summer sessions happen much later in the evening. That can be tough if you have little ones when they’re typically in bed at the time of the session’s start time.

REASON #3

Less humidity and heat! That’s right, Dad. You don’t have to worry about sweating through your nice clothes. Ladies, that also means you’re not going to lose the curl in your hair or stress about frizz.

REASON #4

You can layer! Layering clothing and accessories adds more detail to your images. The different textures and the different level dimensions add so much to your image that you don’t even realize! It actually makes your image MORE interesting to look at.

REASON #5

More availability! For some photographers, especially DFP, scheduling during peak seasons can be tricky unless you book in advance. Scheduling during January and February is so much easier since that’s usually when photographers have more downtime.
