In-Home vs. Studio Newborn Photography in Winnipeg: Which Is Right for Your Family?

If you're looking for a Winnipeg newborn baby photographer, one of the first decisions you’ll make is whether you want your session to take place in-home or in-studio or outdoors (seasonal). All options are beautiful in their own way—but depending on your vision, lifestyle, and comfort, one might feel more “you” than the other.

Here’s a breakdown of in-home vs. studio-style or outdoors newborn photography in Winnipeg to help you choose the perfect fit for your family.

In-Home Newborn Photography in Winnipeg: Cozy, Comfortable, and Candid

If you love the idea of capturing your new baby in the place where you spend your first days together, in-home newborn sessions are an amazing choice.

What makes in-home sessions so special:

• Your baby (and you!) are already comfortable

• Siblings and pets can be involved naturally (no pets allowed in studio)

• Your home becomes part of the story of where you first brought them home

• Sessions are slower-paced, flexible, and relaxed

This style is all about those real-life, candid moments—feeding, snuggles, nursery details, and natural light. Don’t worry about a “Pinterest-perfect” house. I use creative angles and bring everything needed to create soft, timeless images in your home. You'll be sent my session guide when you book your newborn baby photoshoot and it includes things that will help you prep your home easily for photos you'll truly love.

 Studio Newborn Photography in Winnipeg: Classic, Clean, and Timeless

If you're dreaming of more posed, polished images, a studio-style newborn session might be your perfect match. While I don’t work out of a fixed studio, I bring studio lighting, neutral wraps, and minimal props to create that classic look—right in your home!

Studio-style sessions offer:

• A clean, distraction-free aesthetic

• No cleaning needing, just show up

• A blank, clean canvas so you can wear lots of different clothing options

• Multiple options for those solo baby photos and family photos

Studio sessions are a great fit for families who want to show up to an already cleaned, timeless space.

Outdoor Newborn Photography in Winnipeg: Natural, Dreamy, and Light-Filled

If you’re drawn to the beauty of an outdoor newborn session, this could be the perfect way to capture your baby’s earliest days. Winnipeg offers so many stunning seasonal backdrops—quiet parks, tall grasses, warm golden light—that add a magical, organic feel to your images.

Why outdoor newborn photography is a beautiful choice:

• Soft, natural light creates a dreamy, timeless glow

• No need to prep your home—just show up and enjoy the moment

• Lots of room for those older siblings to run around and capture candid photographs

• Great option for spring, summer, and early fall sessions when the weather is mild

Outdoor sessions are focused more on connection than perfectly posed images. You’ll snuggle your baby, walk hand-in-hand with your partner, and relax into the moment—while I guide you gently and capture all those tender, in-between interactions.

What Makes My Experience Different

I bring more than just gear—I bring warm energy, years of experience with little ones, and a calm but fun presence that helps families truly enjoy the process and get comfortable in front of the camera. Don't worry about being awkward, I got you. I’m known for being great with toddlers, patient with babies, and for capturing those in-between candid moments that feel effortlessly you. (oh and getting husbands who hate the camera to smileHA)

Once you book, you’ll receive my client prep guide, with tips on how to get your home session-ready, what to wear, and how to prep baby for the most relaxed, beautiful session possible.
