When Covid Cancels Your Newborn Shoot? You Make Lemonade and Go-Lifestyle!

I have been photographing the Stephenson family for almost as long as I have been taking photos. When Lori was surprised with a Covid-blessing, I was so excited to see them all again and admire her growing boys. But, as Covid seems to do, it changes everyone’s plans. We were all fully locked down when she delivered and I was not allowed to be open for several months afterwards. Lori was so kind and easygoing and so we made plan B ~ a lifestyle session in her home once restrictions eased.

A lifestyle session is a great option for families who was a more relaxed set of images, or also any mama who has had a traumatic delivery and isn’t feeling up to leaving the home. Newborn sessions in the studio take place in the first two weeks after birth (with very few exceptions), and this is also a great option for baby images while your baby is still small, but they may have moved past that really “sleepy” stage.
