Celebrate welcoming your newborn baby home with getting photos taken with Monica Conlin Photography

This home was filled with modern decor and natural light. It was so much fun finding spaces throughout the house to take pictures in during the at home newborn family session. The parents were easy-going and open to have photos done in various rooms.

They wore neutral outfits, the mom in a black dress and the dad in a grey, textured button up shirt, which matched their aesthetic and coordinated well with their home environment. They dressed their baby boy in a simple stripe onesie that gave a mild pop of color and some pattern that looked great for pictures. We also used a cream, cozy blanket to wrap him in when he was wanting a little more comfort and warmth!

As always, I am so thankful that sweet families like this one invite me into their home to take photos of their newest little family member and allow me to get photos that will last a lifetime!

Glimpse into an At Home Newborn Photo Session with Monica Conlin Photography | Atlanta, GA

These lovely first time parents welcomed their sweet baby girl home and wanted this moment documented. I am always so honored to come into a home and take photos of this special, intimate season of life. Those first few weeks bring a lot of changes, but it is always worth it to have photos that you can look back on to help remember what it was like.

They wanted the photo session in the nursery. When I went upstairs and saw the nursery, I was blown away by the thoughtfulness in the decorations and preparations the mom put into nesting and creating this room for her daughter. They had a feature wall with greenery and the artwork of “adventure awaits” hung in the middle. There was other art hung throughout the room that were affirmations and reminders to the little girl that she was loved. There was a wonderfully curated bookshelf with board books that ranged from The Very Hungry Caterpillar to Hair Love. On the opposite side of the room was a whole rack of hair bows hanging in any color and pattern you could imagine.

And although the baby’s nursery was beautifully decorated, the part of the session that was my favorite was watching both the mom and the dad interact, hold, soothe, snuggle and kiss their new baby girl. These are the moments, the interactions, and the feelings that I seek to document and provide photos for them to cherish forever.

Welcome Home Baby Girl!

The family dressed their precious baby girl in a simple pink onesie that was just perfect for getting photos taken. I love outfits that show the baby’s toes, fingers, and those tiny rolls in the thighs and arms that are just beginning to form. Keeping the baby’s onesie outfit simple is a great way to be able to coordinate the rest of the family’s outfits as well without having to overthink it too much.

What a lovely home it was. I love finding spots in the house that have great natural light, like the big window in the front entryway. Sometimes people worry about their house not being big enough, clean enough, whatever else enough…and I try to reassure my clients, it doesn’t matter! We just need some good windows with natural light and we will be set.

Let’s focus in for a minute and capture the tiny, perfect details of those lips! This sweet little girl is so relaxed on her dad’s chest that she fell asleep and is napping peacefully with the most relaxed expression.

Another spot in their home that I fell in love with immediately was this corner of their home office. It had a beautiful and vibrant rug, lush plants, and great modern furniture pieces. It created a wonderful backdrop for some portraits of the mom and her baby. I may have moved a couple things around, but really it was a great corner from the start.

Last, but not least, we went into the bedroom for some more relaxed, cozy pics of the family. These two parents were so enjoyable to photograph, seeing how much they already enjoyed their new baby girl.

Oh, and don’t forget the family dog! She decided to join us for a couple at the very end. I think once she realized I was a friend and not yet ANOTHER new human joining the house. Pups are always welcome to join in the pictures if you would like.
