In Studio vs. Lifestyle Newborn Photography: Which Session Is Right for Your Family?

Summer Elizabeth Photography Newborn, Maternity, and Family photographer based in Phoenix AZ

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most unforgettable milestones — and capturing those precious early days is something you’ll cherish forever. At Summer Elizabeth Photography, we specialize in both studio posed newborn photography and lifestyle newborn sessions at home, serving families throughout Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the surrounding Arizona areas.

If you’re wondering which session style is right for you, here’s a helpful breakdown:

Studio Posed Newborn Sessions

Timeless | Artistic | Curated

These sessions are done in my warm, welcoming studio, designed specifically for newborns and comfort. I provide all the wraps, props, and accessories so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.

What’s Included:

Expert posing and styling with a clean, polished look
A wide variety of backdrops, blankets, and accessories
The focus is on baby, but family poses can be included
Best for babies 7–14 days old for sleepy, curled-up poses

Why Families Love It:
Perfect for creating classic, heirloom-quality portraits that will stand the test of time.

Lifestyle Newborn Sessions at Home

Natural | Personal | Emotion-Focused

Lifestyle sessions take place in the comfort of your home, using natural light and your everyday surroundings to tell a more relaxed and intimate story.

What’s Included:

Lightly posed, candid moments with your baby and family
Photographed in your nursery, bedroom, or living room
Great for including siblings and pets
Ideal for babies up to 1 month old

Why Families Love It:
These sessions are all about connection and capturing your baby’s first home environment in the most authentic way.

Which Session Should You Choose?

Both session types create beautiful results — it really comes down to your personal style and comfort.

✨ Want timeless, artistic portraits? Choose a Studio Posed Newborn Session.
✨ Prefer a relaxed, natural experience in your own home? Go with a Lifestyle Newborn Session.
