I was invited into this sweet family’s home to photograph them now as a family of three. During their in home newborn session, Millie was loved on the entire time. Millie’s parents were up for anything during the session and it gave me the creative freedom to truly capture their family as they are.

Many families have a nursery for their newborn and I absolutely love to see what they have come up with. In this case, Millie’s room was STUNNING. I truly loved the deep colors with gold accents throughout. The round mirror gave such a different vibe for a portion of their newborn gallery as I used it strictly for some wonderful candid moments.

When parents book an in home newborn session, I always ask them where in their homes they are thinking to have the session. Most families choose the nursery, the master bedroom and the living room. Occasionally families have beautiful kitchens that really bring a cozy and homely feeling to their gallery.

Millie was photographed in her crib- it is honestly one of my most favorite shots that I get. A crib is such a large space and when you add in a tiny baby, it truly helps you to remember years later just how small they once were.

Cozy living rooms are always such a huge part of in home newborn sessions. Many families find themselves spending lots of their time in the newborn stage on the couch or in their bedrooms. To be honest, there is no wrong place to do a part of your in home session. The session is not about aesthetics or fitting the same vibe as everyone else’s session. This is truly unique to your family.

These sessions are completely customizable to your family.

Of course many families ask if these sessions are posed and my answer is always that it is guided posing. So what does that mean? I will give guidance on where to sit, change how you are standing to allow more light or remove an odd shadow but for the most part- I just want you to be natural.

These moments with a newborn fly by so incredibly fast. I want you to feel the rawness and emotions when you look back one day. I am essentially just a fly on the wall capturing your family as they are.
