Newborn Photo Session with Monica Conlin Photography in a quiet neighborhood in Decatur, GA

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.
