Typical images from a lifestyle session include baby laying on bed/crib, interaction shots with mom holding baby in rocking chair, dad standing and holding baby, family laying together on the bed/couch, sibling photos on bed, etc. Lifestyle sessions DO NOT include any naked, posed, sleepy newborn photos. NO props, blankets, backdrops will be provided.
