There are multiple perks of having your newborn photographer travel to your home for newborn photos:

1) You don’t have to go anywhere and worry about getting yourself, your partner, your baby, and possibly siblings all ready to get out the door at a specific time. 

2) You and your family can remain comfortable in a familiar environment.

3) In-home sessions offer the opportunity for your photographer to capture both posed newborn photos as well as lifestyle/documentary images.
