In-Home or Studio Newborn Session | San Antonio Photographer

One of the most common questions I get from new parents is: Should we do a an in-home or studio newborn session? And the truth is—there’s no right or wrong answer! It all comes down to personal preference and what feels best for your family. Both options have their own unique benefits, and today, I’m breaking them down to help guide you toward the best choice for you and your family.

Why Choose an In-Home Newborn Session?

There is something undeniably special about capturing those early newborn days in the place where your family makes memories every single day—your home. Here are a few reasons why an in-home session might be the perfect fit for you:

1. Comfort & Familiarity

Usually, you’re more relaxed in your own space. Also, if you have older kids, they can take breaks, play, and just be themselves. Even dads tend to feel more at ease at home!

2. Personalized & Meaningful

Your home reflects you—your personality, your style, and the love you’ve poured into it. This is especially true if you’ve spent time designing a beautiful nursery. In-home sessions allow us to incorporate those sentimental details and spaces that you love.

3. No Travel Required

Let’s be real, getting out of the house with a newborn can be a task! With an in-home session, I come to you, making the experience easy and stress-free. No need to pack the diaper bag with everything you might need. Instead, you can relax knowing everything is within reach.

Why Choose a Studio Newborn Session?

If you’re looking for a clean, classic, and effortlessly timeless aesthetic, a studio session might be the perfect fit. My Bulverde, Texas studio is designed with simplicity and beauty in mind, ensuring every detail is perfectly captured and the focus remains on your baby.

1. Soft, Consistent Lighting

The studio is filled with soft, diffused natural light, making for bright, airy, and timeless portraits—no matter what the weather looks like outside.

2. Minimalist & Distraction-Free

The neutral, light-filled space keeps the focus on your baby and your family’s connection. No clutter, no background distractions—just pure, beautiful moments.

3. No Prep or Cleanup

One of the biggest perks? You don’t have to worry about tidying up your home! Just show up, and I’ll have everything ready to go, including a cozy bed, a neutral loveseat, bassinets, and soft white swaddles for baby.

How to Decide Between an In-Home or Studio Newborn Session

If you’re still unsure which session type is best for your family, ask yourself these questions:

Do I love the clean, simple look of a studio session, or do I want a more personal touch to my images?
Would an in-home session cause me stress (thinking about cleaning/prepping), or would I prefer to be in my own space with everything I need for my baby?
Do I want to showcase my baby’s nursery and the sentimental spaces in my home, or do I want a minimalist, distraction-free environment?

The answers to these questions will help guide you to the right choice for you! No matter what you choose, you can rest assured that I will capture all the love, warmth, and beautiful moments of this season of life for you to treasure forever.
