LIFESTYLE NEWBORN SESSIONS

Congratulations on your newest addition! Those first days with your baby pass impossibly quickly. Lifestyle newborn photography is a beautiful way to preserve the tiny details, sweet expressions, sleepy snuggles, and quiet connections that make this season so special.

A Relaxed, In-Home Newborn Experience. Lifestyle newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your own home, allowing your family to relax and settle into the session without the stress of packing up a new baby or traveling to a studio.

Rather than heavily posing your newborn or creating elaborate sets, I focus on your baby naturally and the connection between the people who love them most. Your session may include photographs of your baby on their own, snuggled with Mom and Dad, interacting with siblings, and in meaningful spaces throughout your home, such as the nursery or primary bedroom. Immediate family members—including parents and siblings—are always included.

As a mother of two and a photographer with more than a decade of experience working with babies, children, and families, I understand that newborn sessions need to move at your baby's pace. There is no expectation that your little one sleep through the session or behave a certain way. We allow time for feeding, changing, soothing, and cuddling whenever needed. Above all, your baby's comfort and safety always come first.

Your session includes:

Lifestyle Newborn Session — $500

    •    One hour of in-home photography

    •    Baby, parents, and siblings

    •    Personalized session and wardrobe guidance

    •    My Newborn Preparation Guide

    •    Access to available pieces from my curated newborn client closet

    •    A private online proofing gallery

    •    5 individually hand-edited, high-resolution digital images of your choice

    •    Personal printing rights

    •    The option to purchase additional images or upgrade your gallery

There is no requirement to purchase prints or products through Ashley Walker Photography. Your final digital images include personal printing rights, and I’m always happy to recommend professional-quality printing options based on my experience.

WHEN TO BOOK

I recommend reaching out during your second or third trimester to reserve your newborn session. Because babies have their own timelines, we’ll reserve your place on my calendar based on your estimated due date and finalize your session date once your baby arrives. Lifestyle sessions offer more flexibility than traditional posed newborn photography and do not need to take place within a strict 10–21 day window.

To ensure I can provide flexibility for each family, I accept a limited number of newborn sessions each month. Early booking is strongly recommended.

RESERVING YOUR SESSION

A $100 non-refundable retainer and signed photography agreement are required to reserve your newborn session. Your retainer is applied toward the $500 session fee, with the remaining balance due according to the terms of your agreement.

Once booked, you’ll receive a newborn questionnaire and preparation guide so I can learn more about your family, your home, and what matters most to you for your photographs. If you fall in love with more than the five images included in your collection, additional photographs and gallery upgrades are available for purchase.
