Choosing the Best Rooms for Natural Light | In-Home Lifestyle Sessions

Capturing Eloise’s in-home newborn session was such a joy! There’s something incredibly special about photographing a newborn, especially in the comfort of their home. With in-home sessions like Eloise’s, choosing the best rooms for beautiful light is key, as natural light will enhance the soft, airy feel.

Which Rooms in Your Home Have the Best Natural Light?

When I plan any in-home session, one of the first things I ask is, “Which rooms in your home have the best natural light?” It’s important to remember that I rely heavily on window light, so we won’t turn on any overhead lights or lamps. Natural light is what makes those airy, timeless images possible, by creating a warm, inviting look that’s hard to replicate with artificial light.

Choosing the Best Rooms for Natural Light

Sometimes the spaces you love most, like your cozy living room, might not get enough light. This makes it challenging to achieve that light and airy feel. Don’t worry though if your main living area or other favorite space doesn’t have the best lighting! Often times other unexpected areas of the home offer great natural light, like a sunny kitchen, guest bedroom, or even a well-lit, adorable mudroom. While these spaces might not be your first choice, just remember, it isn’t the room necessarily, but the light that makes a session beautiful! Eloise’s session took advantage of beautifully lit rooms throughout the home, creating gorgeous images.

For parents planning their in-home session, I encourage you to think about which rooms get the best light, particularly in the morning when the natural light is best! This will help us pick the perfect spot. If you’re ready to book your in-home session, reach out today
