Newborn Photoshoot at Home- Folsom, CA- behind the scenes vid

Ever wonder what it might be like to do a newborn photoshoot at home? Or how that compares to doing a newborn shoot at a studio? Follow along with me, Susannah Gill Photography of El Dorado Hills, California as I take you behind the scenes of a newborn photoshoot at the client’s home.

In the video you will notice how I bring everything that is needed for the photoshoot, brainstorms ideas with the family to make the photos personal and lead you in every step along the way.

Do you have to have the whole house ready for a newborn shoot at home? Heck no! In this shoot only 1 room was used!

House too dark? No worries- it’s easy to add in additional lighting.

After the baby is born, not every family will want to leave the house to go a studio. That is why I offer studio newborn photoshoots and also at home newborn photoshoots. Not sure which is best for your family? Not a problem, we can discuss with you the options and together we can decide which session type best fits your family.

Not sure if you should do a newborn photoshoot? Well here is why I think it’s one of the best decisions you can make. The newborn days are a blur. It all changes so quickly. Photographs are more than just images; they’re time capsules that hold onto the little things you swore you’d never forget. The wrinkled toes, the way they curled into your chest, the peaceful weight of their tiny body in your arms. These fleeting moments deserve to be remembered—not just in your heart, but in a way you can see, share, and hold onto forever.

When they say it goes fast- they were not lying! Not only does it go fast but you’re exhausted for much of it. Having images of when your baby can fit in your hands is something that will forever pull on your heartstrings. You wont regret it!

Enjoy following along with me as I photograph this sweet family at their home! Please lmk if you have any questions I can answer about a newborn photoshoot at home.
