When you’re my client, we’ll plan your beautiful newborn session together to make sure you get the beautiful, custom portraits of your dreams. If you already have children at home and you want to include the whole family in your baby’s newborn photos, we can absolutely make that happen! I do these using a type of Hershey PA lifestyle in home newborn session that I call a sibling add-on session, like the session featured in this blog.
What Is a Sibling Add-On Session?
A sibling add-on session is basically the second of a two-part session that I do for newborn portraits when my client wants to include their newborn’s siblings who are 5 or younger. I take the sweet, sleepy solo newborn portraits during a studio session with just you and your baby, and then we do a second session at your home with your other children.
Why Do I Do a Sibling Add-On Session for a Hershey PA Lifestyle In Home Newborn Session?
I absolutely love newborn photos with siblings, and I know that parents do too, especially when they can look back on these portraits as they watch their kids’ relationships with their siblings blossom. What’s tricky, though, is that during a studio newborn session, we want to cultivate a quiet and cozy environment so your newborn will sleep for as much of the session as possible. And when there are new big brothers and sisters in the studio, they want to be their playful selves, and that might not mesh well with the quiet atmosphere we’re trying to maintain for their baby sibling.
An add-on session lets you have the best of both worlds! By taking sibling portraits separately at home, you can get joyful portraits of the whole family as well as quaint and serene newborn portraits from the studio.
