What to expect at your Newborn Lifestyle Session in the Studio

Congratulations! I’m so happy you’re here! If you’re considering a newborn session, my Waukesha Studio is a great option.

Natural light, all white and you don’t have to clean your house! I can do sessions in your home too. All I need is good natural light.

All you need to bring is a few favorite outfits, swaddles and headbands. Dogs are allowed in my studio.

My studio has a crib, bed, and benches.

The all white, simple set up keeps the focus on just you and your brand new baby.

It’s never too early to reach out and grab a spot on my calendar! Let’s chat.

Milwaukee Family Photographer Summer 2022

Happy March! It’s getting so close to spring and summer… and I can’t wait! Summer is the perfect time for family photos.

Update your family photos when the weather is warm and beautiful! The earlier you get on my calendar the better. We all know how fast our summer schedules fill up. Between sports, activities and vacations, summer can fly by fast!

Have you ever looked back a year ago and thought, wow the kids were SO little! Time really does fly by. If you keep putting off family photos waiting to get to your perfect weight or once this event is checked off….it won’t get scheduled. You’ll miss out capturing those moments when your kids were ‘little’. Before you know it, they will be out of the stage you remember from ‘last year.’

You won’t regret getting in those pictures with your babies! Your kids won’t remember how you felt about yourself, but they will love seeing you in the pictures with them.

What are you waiting for?!

Milwaukee Newborn Lifestyle Photographer 2022

Congratulations! Those first few days at home can be a blur. You won’t regret having newborn photos done, but you will regret not having them done! Babies change so much in the first year.

When is the best time for newborn photos?

Within the first 5-14 days. There is some leeway… as my style is lifestyle newborn.

Who’s included?

Immediate family members are included in your newborn session!

How soon should I reach out?

The sooner, the better! Grab your spot on my calendar before it fills up!

Newborn Lifestyle Session in the studio

Congratulations! You want to schedule a newborn session, but are unsure if you want to have it in your home. Katie Bingen Photography offers Newborn Lifestyle Sessions in their all white, modern Waukesha Studio.

Newborn Lifestyle Sessions take place within the 5-14 day window. If it happens to go slightly outside the window, it’s no big deal. The earlier you reach out to schedule with me, the better!

What should you bring to your session in the studio?

I recommend a favorite outfit(s), swaddle(s), headband(s) and a white onesie. One advantage of the studio is you don’t have to clean up your house for your session!

What can I expect during the session?

A relaxed environment. These sessions are led by the baby. If your baby needs to eat, have a diaper change, be soothed, it is no big deal. Have toddlers? If they need a break, we will switch it up and focus on mom and baby. We will go with the flow. I have children of my own, so I get it! :)

How to prepare for your in home Newborn Session

Congratulations! You’re expecting and have a newborn session scheduled for in your home. What happens next?

First off, plan your outfits around you. You want to feel comfortable and confident. Stick to neutral colors and build a color pallet off of your outfit. Don’t match, but coordinate colors. I offer style and select for all my clients to help in planning their outfits. As always, reach out for advice! I’m happy to guide you in the right direction.

Secondly, prepare your home. I typically shoot in the living room, master bedroom and nursery. Sometimes, I’ll use the kitchen too! Clean and declutter these rooms ahead of your session. I’ll be looking for the most natural light, so if there is another room in your house we could use, great!

This goes hand in hand, but the time of day is important when doing a photoshoot in your home. Things to think about… when does my home get the best natural light? I default to late morning for in home sessions as that usually gives the best natural light in the house. (Late morning also tends to work for older siblings that still take naps in the early afternoon.)

Relax. I’ll be coming in the comfort of your own home to capture those first few moments with your new baby. I’ll get a few of those everyone looking at the camera, but my favorite to capture are those in between moments. You gazing at your newborn, how tiny they are in your arms or how suddenly you toddler doesn’t look so little anymore. The session will be led by your baby (or toddler). If we need to take breaks for eating, soothing, tantrums or diaper changes… that is okay! I’m a mom of 3 and get it. :)

Lastly, if you have pets….they will be in your photos. That is all. Can’t wait to meet you and your family!
