At Home Newborn Photo Sessions with Monica Conlin Photography

Newborn, Maternity & Family Photographer in Decatur, GA and the surrounding areas of Atlanta


Hey there! I’m Monica, and I am passionate about capturing beautiful moments of your growing family. I’d love to celebrate your family through photography.

One reason I specialized in Maternity & Newborn Photography is because these types of sessions have given me some of my favorite photos of my own family. When I had my daughter, we had at home newborn photos taken of our growing family. She was only a week old, and we were overjoyed, excited, and exhausted. At that time we had a toddler and a newborn, and as you can imagine, it was a bit chaotic. But even to this day, they are some of my favorite photographs that we have displayed on our walls. I want you to have these precious pictures that you will cherish forever too.

Do you want someone who understands what it is like to have a newborn baby and the fatigue and worry that can accompany that new role? Do you want someone who knows what a high energy toddler looks like and has felt the stress when they aren’t acting as expected? Do you want someone who is now a mom to three kids and has felt uncomfortable in front of the camera before? I am that someone.

My goal is to make you feel cared for before, during, and after our photo session together.

Since my own experience having babies and getting photos done, I try to take into consideration all that I felt during that postpartum time. It is a time of lots of change and transition, which means things can be overwhelming. I think that getting photos done shouldn’t contribute to this stress. So one of the ways I help my clients feel cared for and supported is by helping them know what to expect and how to prepare for their photo session.

Here are my blog posts about Newborn Photo Session: What to Expect and What to Wear to your Newborn Photo Session.

At Home Newborn Photo Sessions are designed to be laid back and calm. It starts with the fact that you can stay in your own home and not have to get up and out of the house for the photo session. I come to you. That way you have all the things you need to care for your baby on hand without having to tote it to a studio or other location. You will be able to feed, change, and care for your newborn in the comfort of your own home. The pace of the session is slow and I follow the lead of how the baby is doing. If we need to take breaks, then we do.

Another way I want all my clients to feel cared for is by providing recommendations for local resources that care for pregnant and postpartum women. Here is a Resource List of local women-owned business.

Summer Maternity Photo Session | Outdoor Park in Atlanta, GA

You would never guess that it was a hot July day in Atlanta with (of course) extremely high humidity during this photo session. We did our session in the morning to try to beat the heat and sought out shade, breezes, and water as needed. This lovely couple were champions about looking cool, calm, and collected even in the discomfort of the warmth. Way to go!

This quiet, peaceful pond and garden location is perfect for a laidback photo session. You can feel yourself taking deep breaths and calming the minute you descend the stone steps into the garden area. Plus, the summertime greenery was perfect and add great color to the photos.


I’d love to be your Maternity, Family & Newborn Photographer as well. So if you are pregnant and expecting a baby in the next few months then book your session with me now.

Welcome Home Baby Boy | Decatur, GA

Photo Highlights from an At Home Newborn Session

I have said lately how much I love getting to know all the family’s that I photograph? I truly do. I enjoy hearing about their lives, watching their personalities, and seeing how the interact. I have known this mom for a little while now, and let me tell you, this mama is impressive. I took this portrait of her and I think it shows the beauty and strength she has. This is her third baby and she is completely rocking this whole motherhood thing. Wow!

While the older kids were distracted, I took a few quiet moments with the parents and their new baby. It is nice to be able to capture photos of them with the youngest and show their already strong bond and love for this little guy and each other.

These big sisters are already doing a great job loving on and caring for their newest little brother. They both were so proud and gentle when holding him. Siblings are just the best!

Nothing quite like getting a picture of the whole family. I love this series of photos I took because it shows how they were interacting together, laughing, and enjoying the newest little family member.

Book your own at home newborn photo session with me and let’s document your growing family.

From Pregnancy to Postpartum | Decatur, GA Newborn & Family Photographer

Photo highlights from our Outdoor Maternity & At Home Newborn Photo Sessions

One of the reasons I love specializing in Maternity & Newborn photography is that I get to see and document the ever-changing lives of those going through the process of becoming parents. Being able to watch and photograph that beautiful baby bump change and grow into a newborn baby is such a wonderful experience. I am able to meet the soon-to-be mom and dad and hear about with all the excitement of welcoming their baby, knowing that I get to meet this much anticipated little one!
