The Wall family did their lifestyle newborn photography session in their cozy living room with Golden BC based photographer Jena Lee Photographs.

It can feel like there is so much to learn when you bring your baby home for the first time. The first few weeks with a newborn are a whirlwind. Not only do you have to get to know this tiny person, but you also have to get to know yourself again. You are a parent now.

At the same time, you know that these moments are ones you want to remember. You know that next week your baby will already be different. Undoubtedly you will one day long to immerse in these sweet newborn memories once again.

To book a lifestyle newborn photography session to document your journey is quite a vulnerable thing. On a good day, most people naturally feel shy in front of the camera. During the week that your family expanded, your body changed, and your sleep schedule went out the window, it is reasonable to feel apprehensive about being photographed.

Let me share with you that pretty much every single parent I work with feels this way. They feel the simultaneous love and chaos of bringing home a baby. For me as a newborn photographer, that is without a doubt where the beauty comes from. These tender chaotic moments full of love are what I strive to represent in your photos.

About Lifestyle Newborn Photography

A lifestyle newborn photography session is the perfect way to document your experience. These photo sessions feel calm and natural, which translates into candid and beautiful newborn photos. My approach during these sessions is minimal, I will give you gentle guidance here and there but will otherwise photograph you just as you are. This is always my approach during photo sessions because what you are doing naturally, is magic.

I love working with Golden BC families to help them see the beauty in the chaos with a lifestyle newborn photography session.
