🏡 VS 🏢 Studio or Lifestyle? Which Newborn Session Style is So Totally You?
Tuesday, June 03, 2025 | By: Jessica McColl
So you're growing a tiny human (first of all—superhero status activated 🦸‍♀️), and now you’re thinking, “Should I book a studio newborn session… or keep it cozy at home?”
Let’s break it down: this decision is basically like picking between a latte and a cappuccino. Both are fabulous. Both are photogenic. Both involve snuggling a newborn burrito. But they have totally different vibes.
📸 STUDIO NEWBORN SESSION
“Curated luxury, minimal stress, and nap-like lighting.”
In-studio is where the magic of intentional posing, perfect lighting, and a fully styled experience comes alive. You walk into my cozy Okotoks studio, sip a coffee (still warm, imagine that!), and I handle everything—from wraps and bonnets to soothing your sweet babe.
✨ Best for parents who want:
-
Elegant, timeless images
-
A break from cleaning their house 🙌
-
Full-service experience with heirloom art products
-
Consistent aesthetic with luxe styling
Studio vibe: “My baby looks like they’re ready to be on the cover of Vogue: Newborn Edition.”
🏡 LIFESTYLE NEWBORN SESSION
“Real-life love, raw moments, and lived-in beauty.”
Lifestyle sessions happen in the heart of your home—where the nursery’s still got a bit of laundry in the corner and your dog insists on photobombing. It’s cozy. It's real. It’s emotion-filled storytelling in your natural environment.
✨ Best for parents who want:
-
More candid, relaxed moments
-
Photos that show real life with baby
-
Their home as part of the memory
-
Sweet snuggles on the couch with natural light
Lifestyle vibe: “Yes, this is chaos—but it’s the most beautiful chaos I’ve ever known.”
SO WHICH ONE’S RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you love minimalist elegance and want me to take the reins, studio is your jam.
If your heart leans toward natural storytelling with all the realness of home, lifestyle is calling your name.
And hey—both result in breathtaking images you’ll treasure forever. The real magic? It’s in the tiny fingers, the sleepy yawns, and the way your baby fits so perfectly in your arms, no matter where we are.
Still can’t decide?
Let’s chat. I’ll help you choose the session that fits your vibe, your baby, and your vision.
Whether it’s curled up in soft studio light or wrapped in a fuzzy blanket on your couch—this moment is worth preserving. 💕
