Getting the Photos You Want from your Newborn Photo Session with Monica Conlin Photography

My job as your photographer is to find out & photograph what is important to you.

Yes, I have my overall images that I think about getting during my at home newborn photo sessions, but more importantly, I want to understand and take the photos that will be meaningful to you and your family.

Did you spend time and effort on the nursery decor and want to include the special details you poured hours into? Do you have a special outfit that you wore when you had your first child and want to capture yourself in that shirt with your second born? Do you have a meaningful tattoo, piece of artwork, specially knitted blanket, or other memento to document with your newborn baby? Or maybe you want to focus on the new sibling relationship.

These are the things and moments that should be included in your personalized photo gallery from our at home newborn photo session.

Before our newborn photo session in your home, I send you a brief questionnaire to hear more about what you are wanting for our time together. Feel free to be specific it there is something special that you want photographed.

I also will chat with you when I get to your home before we begin taking photos and hear more about the areas of your home that you do (and do not) want to get photos in as well. It is all about giving you the experience that fits your family’s needs and wants and making sure these photos are ones that you will treasure forever.

Newborn Photography in the Comfort of your Home | highlights from a newborn photo session with Monica Conlin Photography

Did you know that it only takes one room of the house with good natural light to do a newborn photo session?

It is not required to have a perfectly put together, clean home to do a newborn session. All I need is one space with good window light and we can get great photos.

However, I will say this family had the perfect main bedroom for a photoshoot. White walls, minimal furniture with neutral colors, and huge windows that let in the best natural light. It was a dream setting for me and I loved the way the pictures came out.

All the details to remember of your newborn baby: the color of their eyes, shape of their newly formed lips and nose, how tiny their curled fist is, and the amount of hair on their head that they were born with.

Welcoming Home Twin Girls | Atlanta Newborn Photography

This newborn photo session certainly provided double the usual sweetness with these infant twin girls.

What’s better than getting to photograph a precious baby? How about two! I loved getting to take pictures of these twin baby girls.

Enjoy scrolling through some highlight pictures from our at home photo session together. My favorite parts about this session were getting to hear about how different the personality of the twins already were, seeing the time and effort put into the nursery as the parents lovingly waited for their babies, watching the mom and dad work in tandem with one another to care for their daughters, and the sweet family dogs eagerly joining in on the pictures.

Also, are these not adorable outfits for newborn pictures? The mom loved using neutral dresses and swaddles for her newborn photoshoot outfits, and I think they looked perfect.

Atlanta area Newborn Photo Session | Decatur Newborn & Family Photographer

Welcome Home Baby Girl

This newborn photo shoot was a dream. I was fortunate enough to meet this couple when I did their pregnancy photos. They are great to work with and I love getting to watch the transition into parenthood. Check out the highlights from their Maternity Photo Shoot in Atlanta.

A lot of people ask, what should we wear for out newborn photography session? I suggest keeping outfits for a newborn photo shoot simple.

Notice how this sweet baby girl is wearing a cute neutral newborn outfit with a muted floral design. It looks nice with the pattern, but is not overpowering to allow to focus on the details of her precious face. I like an outfit that can show off the toes and fingers as well instead of having them covered up.

This was the guest room in their house, but it got better natural light than the primary bedroom. However, I used the more neutral bedspread from their regular bed on it to make it feel more like their room and for a better aesthetic. It’s these little changes that can make a big difference in the end product. This is why I check out the various rooms and areas in your home when I arrive so that we can create the best spaces for photos. It only takes a minute and a few adjustments, so don’t worry about doing anything ahead of time. I will help tidy or move things around if needed, there is no time for that in your postpartum life!

That is the beauty of the lifestyle newborn photo session, the baby can be awake or asleep and it works. I have the parents holding and snuggling their newborn the majority of the photo session so that the baby is happy, which means everyone is happy.

This sweet baby girl slept throughout the majority of the photo session. She was especially cozy once we swaddled her in the cute Georgia peach blanket! What a peach.

Newborn Photography is all about capturing all the important little details. These are the memories you want to look back on.

Interested in having me taking your family’s Newborn photos?

If you are expecting a baby soon, then reach out and email me about having your own photo session. I’d love to celebrate your family through photography.
