If you’re searching for a newborn photographer near you and you want photos that feel relaxed, natural, and full of connection, this outdoor newborn session at Glenview Mansion in Rockville is a perfect example of what that can look like.
As a North Bethesda newborn photographer, I love helping families slow down this season that passes way too quickly. Most of the time when families schedule their newborn session with me, they decide to have the newborn session in their home, but this lifestyle newborn session was at this beautiful venue in North Bethesda and had many options with beautiful light and space.
It was so great to spend time with this large family. All of the siblings enjoyed helping and we even got the grandparents in there too! Newborn sessions will always have my heart because there are so many moments of connection, love, intimacy, strength and every other emotion there is to be felt when you have a new baby.
When you look at the images below you’ll get an idea of all of the variety you’ll get in your gallery- parents with the children, siblings, feeding, and most of all- connection.
Why choose an outdoor newborn session?
Outdoor newborn sessions are a wonderful option for families who want something a little different than the in home newborn sessions. They’re especially great if you:
Love natural light and open spaces
Want photos that feel candid and unforced
Are looking for a newborn photographer near North Bethesda or Rockville who takes a lifestyle approach
This session was calm, baby‑led, and focused on connection with all family members. We focused on just that, connection, and let things unfold naturally, all while having a loose posing plan in mind.
A Relaxed, Baby‑Led Newborn Experience
My approach to newborn photography is simple. There’s no pressure for babies to sleep or perform. Since it’s baby led, this means we follow their cues and take breaks as needed.
During this outdoor newborn session at Glenview Mansion, we focused on:
Natural poses that felt comfortable for baby and parents
Genuine moments over perfection
Photos of all family members with baby
Group photos with grandparents
Portraits of all children and adults
This is ideal for families looking for a newborn photographer that values real moments over stiff posing.
