In Studio Newborn Photos- Phoenixville, Pa

Ashley contacted me to book her newborn session and I was thrilled!! I just bought some wonderful wood backdrops and some new props that I wanted to test out. I just started offering Newborn In-Home Studio sessions this year. I am located in Phoenixville, Pa., about 35 min from the city of Philadelphia. This doesn’t mean I don’t have experience with newborns. Actually, I have been doing newborn sessions in the past 4 years. But they were done in my clients homes. I still do sessions in my clients home, but only when it is requested. I have found that it is beneficial to have a space available for my clients. Below I will discuss why its a great idea to offer In-Home Studio Sessions to your clients and how it can be advantageous for the clients too.

There are many benefits of having a session photographed at a studio setting vs having them at the clients home. In here, I will share a few benefits. This is not to say that In-Home sessions are inferior. They can also create beautiful photographs. This is just putting into perspective some things that we may not consider.

First, when the photographer has a room/space dedicated to newborn/sitter sessions, there are many variables that stay consistent. This consistency, helps to keep the work more reliable. For example, lighting is a key element which helps dictate what type of photo will be rendered in the end. Is it natural light or artificial? Are the photos rich, dark & moody or light & airy? The lighting helps to create the mood of the photos.

Another great benefit is access to all of the props. Newborn photographers have lots of props…I mean lots. We have to be able to offer various colors, textures and styles for our clients. So we continue to purchase items (according to our styles of course) to help create “the look” we are going for. So when the photographer is in the studio, she can easily grab whichever color wrap, or headpiece that looks appealing. Photographers are artists. So being visual animals, we see magic through the lense. And sometimes what we thought, doesn’t always look as beautiful when put together. We need to play around with the colors and textures. So having the props close by, helps our vision come to life.

Last but not the least, the photographer gets to build a relationship with the clients when they come to the studio. When I open my home to my clients, I get to interact with them at a different level. Its like they are my guests and I always treat my guests with a warm welcome.

With all these benefits, I would highly recommend my clients come to my studio for their newborn session. It provides a reliable product, access to many beautiful props and helps build a relationship. Since I began my newborn sessions , I have also had a chance to integrate the posed newborn sessions with some shots of the parents in lifestyle shots. This helps me stand out from other photographers because I offer a HYBRID version of both styles of photography. As I get my feet wet, learning the ins and outs of incorporating both types of photography styles, I thought I would offer my clients a discount to come see what I have to offer. There is a PROMOTION right now on my site for booking these sessions. So be sure to get into contact and book in advance so that when baby comes, you are ready to capture those precious moments.

Kitchen Sink Bubble Bath | Family Photographer Mainline and Philadelphia

Today I wanted to do a creative shoot. This is something I had been planning for a while. It was cold out, and I didn’t feel like taking Sulaiman outside to entertain him so what better fun for kids then BUBBLES! I also wanted to do this before my baby is too big to fit into our sink. Ok, this sink is pretty roomy but still today was the day and I took advantage of my babies love for water and bubbles. I quickly cleaned up the kitchen (cause lets me honest, it does not look like this on a normal day with 3 littles humans running around). I was going for a minimalist, crisp and clean look and look how STUNNING it turned out!!!

Family Session in Villanova | Family Photographer in Philadelphia

I met this sweet family on a wet and rainy day this Fall. They were very close to moving into this new home they just had built. Although it was drizzling, we continued shooting to capture some beautiful family shots. My goal was to find spots under the trees to keep from getting wet. Their three boys and darling daughter did great as we continued capturing some great shots! These will be the first family photos in this new house where they will continue to build many precious memories in.

Family Session| Valley Forge National Historical Park| Chester County Family Photographer

You can not notice it, but this was one of the coldest days of my fall sessions! It was not only a sunset session, but also an overcast day. So although we were unable to get that sun setting( ahhh I love me some sunset lighting!!), I still believe this families photos turned out STUNNING! The mother did an extremely great job in coordinating the outfits of her precious daughters. I mean, look at them! They were not only beautiful but also the sweetest. That POP of red just made my day!

Nov 2019 Family Fall Session |Philadelphia Photographer

This sunset session has to be my dream session! I met this beautiful family on a crisp cold day in November 2019. And although Fall is such a busy time for photographers, I was glad this family got a a spot for one of the most GORGEOUS sunset sessions I have captured. The kids jumped around and had a blast! I tried to keep them active to stay warm. The one thing that helped besides moving around were the beautiful ponchos that the mother said were sent from Argentina. I must say, I am SO happy that they were part of the session! They were sentimental and there is nothing better than having meaning behind these memorable photos.
