Soak in the moments, I’ll be your memory catcher

Sit back, relax and be present in the moment during your in-home newborn photo session.

Sip a cup of coffee, dance to your favorite song and feed your little one whenever they need it.

Dress up or wear comfy clothes and realize you don’t have to worry about whether you got everything packed to survive for a few hours.

“Charis made all of us feel comfortable including our toddler…

Charis was so wonderful to work with for our family’s newborn photos! As someone who is sometimes intimidated by photo shoots I was impressed by how easygoing and comfortable she made us all feel, including my toddler! She came into our chaotic space like a breath of fresh air. The newborn phase is so fleeting, we were really looking for someone to capture the essence of how our family was connecting and coming together in this season. Charis did that and more! She got amazing photos of the baby, great sibling pictures, and so many natural in-the-moment candid shots of us just being a family that we will cherish forever. – Colleen

Have a moment? Then watch the video below let me tell you more about my Oklahoma City newborn photography services and what an in-home session looks like.

“We were blown away...

Charis was so kind and intentional before, during & after our photo session. We were blown away with how thorough she was in providing extra resources on how to prepare for the session and then provided suggestions on how to print and use our gallery after. Her calm presence made our session very enjoyable. It was as if we were just having family time. My husband continues to say how impressed he is with our photos. I believe it was because she took the pressure off, providing a laid-back atmosphere in our own home. I love hearing him say this because he is not one to prioritize professional photos.” – BM, Edmond, OK Newborn Session

All the Details for an In-home Newborn Photoshoot

  • We’ll take all the time we need – sessions often take between 60 – 90 minutes but sometimes up to 2 hours. If baby wants to nurse, we’ll let it nurse. This is a baby-led session and we’re gonna make sure it stays relaxed. I don’t keep a strict time limit.
  • You don’t need much space or a pristine home…a nice chair by the window, or a fixed bed, or a small couch…these are all we need. Remember this is a time to photograph your family – not your sofa or your flooring or your messy closet.
  • You’ll get all the guidance from me on clothing suggestions and how to prepare for the session. But don’t stress…simple and comfortable is better for an in-home newborn photo session.
  • Access and assistance to order heirloom products from a professional lab – located and printed all in the USA.
  • Check out this blog post for more help in deciding if a newborn photo session is for you.
  • Hop over here to peek some newborn session galleries or check out my Instagram feed.
  • I do travel all over the metro OKC area! I am based in Edmond, OK but do sessions all over the Oklahoma City area.
  • Outdoor Newborn Sessions are an option – golden hour outside can also work awesome for newborn photography! Just let me know when you contact me and I’ll give you location ideas.

Newborn Sessions are $650 – Contact me to get started!

FAQ’s about lifestyle newborn photography

When should I schedule my session?

Lifestyle newborn photos are very flexible! I recommend booking me before your baby arrives just to make sure I have an opening for you. But newborn sessions can be held anytime within the first 3 months. I recommend between 1-3 weeks but I do them with families with babies anywhere from 5 days old to 10 weeks old! I wrote this post about how to think about scheduling your newborn session.

My home isn’t big and I don’t want to deep clean – I’m not sure it will work…

I do not need much space for an in home newborn session. And you do not need to deep clean – just clear the clutter from where you want to do the session! Give me one corner by a window and we can do so much! I do bring flash along with me and use it as needed. I will move stuff as needed. Peek over at this helpful post for what to expect on prepping your home.

My kids are crazy. How will a newborn photography session happen?

This is why being at home is awesome! You don’t have to worry about them breaking a studio light or what they will do why you get photos done. Instead they can be there for some, go play and come back again!
