In Home Lifestyle Newborn Photography

When parents and their children come to a specific location for a session, it can be a little awkward at first. It takes awhile for everyone to warm up to the situation, and sometimes the kids can be so out of their element that cooperation is the furthest thing from their mind. Which is undoubtedly understandable.

However, when a client invites me into their homes, it is a different world. Everyone is relaxed and within their element. They’re happy and at ease. It is a privilege to be able to witness the authentic connections of a family in their own home.

In home lifestyle newborn photography captures not only the details of a new baby’s toes and fingers and little eyelashes, but it gives parents a chance to document the baby’s first home. Years down the road, when a move or two has happened, or the children have outgrown the style of their room, parents are able to look back and see the very first time they brought their little ones home.

Just look at this family! I arrived early in the afternoon and Logan had just gotten home from preschool. He was relaxed on his parents bed, eating a little snack and watching TV. This new family of four were incredibly relaxed in front of the camera, and I think it helped that we were in their element. I opted to start in the master bedroom since Logan was already there, and it didn’t take long to get this family snuggling and smiling.

It’s obvious how much this little boy loves his parents, and how much they love him! A new baby doesn’t change that. It simply means that there’s more room for more love.

Jessica and Josh were comfortable in front of the camera and not at all afraid to show each other some affection. Having a new baby is a huge milestone in any parent’s life, whether it be the first or second. It’s an incredible and momentous occasion that you will want to have documented!

In home lifestyle newborn sessions can be a little daunting at first, especially letting a stranger into your home. It also raises a ton of a questions from ‘what will we be doing’ to ‘what should I wear’; and those are questions that I take the time to help my clients with. Lifestyle sessions are very intimate moments with gentle caresses and soft expressions. I love helping my families choose something comfortable and beautiful to wear that help them relax.

After spending some time in the master bedroom, I moved Jessica and Sofia to the nursery. The nursery was filled with the most beautiful natural light!

Sofia was such a snuggle bunny! She loved being close to her mamma. Every room was filled with love and family connection.

Just look at this wide eyed bundle of joy! It’s so hard not to fall in love with her!

After some alone time, Josh and Logan rejoined us in the nursery for more family fun.

Josh is such a smitten daddy!

This family is so full of love! The contentedness that radiated off of them is a perfect example of happiness. I am so blessed that they invited me into their home to document these authentic moments in their lives. You never realize how precious these moments are until you are able to look back and see them.
