In-Home vs. Studio Newborn Photography – Which Is Right for Your Family?

When you’re planning newborn photos, one of the biggest decisions is where to do the photoshoot? I offer two different locations: in home or in a studio. Both options have their perks — but which is the best fit for your family? As a Montreal newborn photographer who specializes in in-home lifestyle sessions, I’ve seen firsthand the differences between the two. Here’s what you should know before deciding.

What Is In-Home Newborn Photography?

In-home sessions take place in the comfort of your own space. This is perfect for new parents who want a stress-free experience — no packing bags or traveling with a newborn. The session feels personal, and your photos will include the backdrop of your baby’s very first home. Not to mention you do NOT need to go crazy cleaning your place because I'm an excellent stager!

What Is Studio Newborn Photography?

I have a beautiful natural light lifestyle studio, and my approach remains naturally unposed. The difference in choosing a studio for your newborn session often comes down to personal preference — perhaps you have a very small space at home that you don’t want photographed, or maybe you’d enjoy a little outing during those first few weeks. The studio offers a comfortable, light-filled environment while still keeping the focus on natural, authentic moments.

Which Is Right for You?

• Choose In-Home If: You want a relaxed, candid session with your baby in their natural environment.

• Choose Studio If: You’d like a natural, unposed lifestyle session but prefer a bright, comfortable space outside your home — whether that’s because your space is limited or you’d enjoy a little outing during those first few weeks.
