Studio newborn photography in Limerick
Having your photos taken in a studio might be the best choice for your family, here are a few reasons as to why we would advise studio session to be your choice:
- Studio indoor sessions: are very controlled, regardless of weather conditions outside you are safe and cosy inside with a complete control over the vision you had for your newborn photos. The light, temperature, noise and timing are completely regulated by the photographer, which assures the outcome of your photographs to be to your liking.
- Results: what you have planned ahead with your photographer will be what you get in the end result. There will not be any outside factors that will affect the session. The photographer can adjust the studio to get the outcome you have envisioned.
- Comfort & Safety: studios are equipped with everything you could possibly need to make yourself and your newborn comfortable. Every studio has proper equipment and safety measures to make sure your newborn is well protected while in the session. Professional photographers in Limerick are using safe posing setups and gentle handling to ensure protection of the newborn as well as a piece of mind for the parents.
- Choice of props: professional photographers with years of experience like Shauna Morning Star, have all the props already in their studio’s in Limerick. If you have any requests or a theme you would like to pick for your newborn professional photoshoot it is very accessible, as you can choose from the props already provided. Even if you end up changing your mind or wish to mix between more themes you are absolutely able to do that with the multiple choices already at the studio.

Home newborn photography in Limerick
Capturing your newborn baby in your home is one of the most special moments for a family. Knowing you will have these treasured moments captured in the warmth of your family home is truly beautiful. Limerick parents choose to have their newborn professionally photographed at their homes and here are some of the reasons why that might be the best option for your family as well:
- Being comfortable: as newborn photographs are usually taken in the first couple of weeks of the baby’s life, sometimes it can be very difficult for a family to go out to a studio to get photographed. Having a mom that has just given birth and a baby that is yet only adjusting to existing in this world can be overwhelming. Getting a professional photographer to come to your home and photograph your newborn baby can be the best choice for you. You are surrounded by a familiar and comfortable space in which both family and the baby can relax and enjoy the photoshoot.
- Peace of mind: no need to worry about packing, rushing, traffic, parking, getting out of the house on time. You can just simply exist in your own space without the added stress of everything listed above. Even the smallest things can seem overbearing at times so removing them in the start leaves you only with comfort and joy.
- Unique experience: every newborn is different and has their own routine. Having the option to tailor the professional photography session to your baby’s needs is what we all wish for. Every photographer wishes to get your beautiful newborn professionally photographed without disrupting their routines. You will have the opportunity to use meaningful spaces in your home like their nurseries, toys as well as having adorable sibling moments which may lead to the start of new traditions that will last on.
- Family-friendly: as mentioned above having a newborn and a mom that are just getting used to all the new phases that are coming their way, it is not always the easiest to get ready, leave the house on time and be in a good mood. If the parents are relaxed the newborn will be too. Giving parents the option to be comfortable in their homes without worrying if they forgot to bring something or if they have enough nappies and toys is what will keep them calm throughout the session. Knowing they are in their home with everything they or the baby might need will reflect the overall feel of the session.
There are so many pros as to why Limerick parents choose to have their newborn professionally photographed at home. Having the cosy feeling session, natural light, light and natural textures, more personal experience, adorable sibling and family moments, comfort and familiarity are just some of them. There is nothing to worry about, your photographer can bring the extra lighting, outfits, props or anything else you might need to make sure you are not missing out on anything.
Home vs studio newborn photos in Ireland
Whichever option you may choose, whether it is a studio session or home session you should choose what best suits your newborn. Either preference is tailored to you to make sure you get the outcome you had in mind.
If you are more inclined to choose the studio session for your newborn photography that will give you more controlled space adjusted for photos, professional lighting, regulated temperature, wide variety of props, blankets, baskets, backdrops, and themed setups. And most important the safety aspects when it comes to the newborn posing.
On the other hand if you are leaning towards the home photography session for your sweet newborn baby you will gain on personal family moments, sibling or pet cuddles, more relaxed and familiar space, more family involvement, warm and intimate feel. The highlight of the home session is that the photographer comes to your home and everything is adjusted to your newborn routine and needs. No outside distractions or stress, just pure joy and creation of precious memories.
