Cozy At Home | Decatur Newborn & Family Photographer

highlights from an at home newborn photo session

You spend so much time preparing your home, your family, and your heart for your new baby to arrive. Don’t you want photos of this important moment in your life? Capturing the sweet memories through photographs is a great way to preserve these precious days that pass so quickly.

These photos to help you remember just how small your baby was when first born. The way she can fit perfectly on your chest, tucked in safely and able to sleep soundly. The way her head can easily be cradled in the palm of your hands.

My In-home Newborn Photography sessions allow every important member of your family to participate in the photo session—including the beloved family pet!

This sweet pup has been a member of the family long before the baby and was ready to pose front and center for the photos.

Newborn photos are so important to help you remember those tiny details that you never want to forget.

It is amazing how quickly babies grow. I love that we do the newborn session within the first two weeks after birth because it helps you see just how small they are when they are first born. How the babies whole foot fits easily into the palm of your hand, the tiny fingers can barely wrap around just one of yours, and the adorable little mouth that is the perfect shape.

Outdoor Maternity Photo Session | Atlanta Maternity Photographer

Ready to show off your baby bump?

This stunning mom-to-be was glowing and so excited to welcome their new baby into the family. I love working with pregnant women and hearing about their own journey into becoming a mom. Each story is unique and the pictures will be too.

Maternity photo sessions are a great way for you and your partner to have fun and celebrate your new baby that will be joining the family. During our session you should be laughing and remembering all the reasons you are on this journey with your partner in the first place! I help you relax and encourage you to enjoy the moment and time spent together. The more you ignore me and that big camera I am always holding up to your face (I know it can be hard), the better the pictures. And I think these fun-loving parents-to-be did a great job of that.

We found this spot of pink blossoms tucked away at the park, and it created the perfect setting for pictures for our outdoor maternity photo session. I love having fresh blooms in the backdrop of photos.

document this season of your life. this is such a big life moment and you will want to have photos to help you remember it.

Family Focused Photography | Atlanta Baby Photographer

In home newborn photo session highlights - Atlanta, Ga

Are your parents or in-laws coming to help in the days and weeks after your baby is born? Did you know that they can be part of your at home newborn photo session too? These first time parents were lucky to have some of their extended family visit to help out when they welcomed their new baby boy home.

Grandparents or other important people in your life are welcome to be a part of your newborn photo session. Having a new baby is a big transition in life, and being surrounded by the people who will love and support you is so important.

Don’t forget the dog!! The beloved family pet is always welcome to join in as well. This cute pup was so happy to be in the photos and welcome the newest member of the family.

This beautiful blanket was made by the grandmother’s friend. It was so special to wrap her new baby grandson in the handmade blanket and get some photos of him. If you have a special object, blanket, or outfit that you want included in your newborn photo session then let me know and I am happy to work with you to include what is important to you and your family.

As you can see from these highlights, an at home photo session can be inside your home, outside in your front or backyard, or a combination. The weather was great during this newborn session, so we did photos both inside the home and out in the backyard.

I love the simple, solid blue newborn outfit that this baby boy wore during the photo session. It brought a great pop of color, but wasn’t distracting from focusing on all his tiny, beautiful features.

Atlanta Newborn Photographer | Welcome Home Baby

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.
