Welcoming your new baby home is such a beautiful moment. You have spent weeks, months, or even longer prepping for this tiny little human to join your family. You have spent time picking out newborn outfits, decorating the nursery, gathering all the supplies that are needed for a newborn…and now they are here!
At Home Newborn Sessions are a great way to document the time soon after you’ve brought your new baby home.
These photo sessions are typically when the baby is between 5-10 days old, so it is perfect to capture all those tiny little features of the newest family member before they grow so quickly.
Having a newborn baby is wonderful, but hard, and tiring, and lovely, and anxiety-inducing, and precious, etc, etc. I know that coming to a person’s home after such a life changing event can be an intimate space, and I love that part of my job. I have been there. I am a mom to three. I know the feelings wrapped into the postpartum period, the difficulties and the joys. I don’t take that for granted, and I am so honored to be there to document this season of life.
I had met this lovely couple during our Maternity Photo Session together and instantly liked them. I love talking to soon-to-be parents and hear what they are excited about, nervous about, and listening to their unique journey into parenthood. Then, I feel so lucky to come and meet the little baby that was so loved and anticipated. It is sweet to see and photograph the different stages of becoming a mom and dad. There are many things I love about doing newborn photo sessions, but being able to watch the way they gently hold and comfort their baby and get a front row view of the way the look with such pride down at their daughter are some of my favorites. These are the moments I love to photograph and document for parents to keep and remember forever.
Enjoy these highlights from an in home newborn photo session in this sweet baby girl’s nursery!
This newborn photo session was so lovely. Sweet baby girl did so amazing and the parents were calm and attentive to her needs. I always encourage parents during these sessions to feed, change, or do whatever else you need to in caring for your new baby during our session. That is the great thing about doing these at your own home and the reason I give an hour, so that we are not rushed and it can be a slower paced, calm environment.
Also, I love a big bow on a baby’s head. It can really be a great addition to a newborn outfit! You can read my blog post about what to wear to an at home newborn photo session if you want more ideas on baby outfits as well as outfits for the whole family.
