Welcome Home Beautiful Baby | At Home Newborn Photos with Monica Conlin Photography

This wonderful family blew me away during our photoshoot at their home. The raw emotions of love, excitement for their new baby, and the joy of being together created moments of true beauty that I felt lucky to be able to capture for them.

You know what makes a good photograph? Light, yes. Composition, yes. Focus and clarity, yes. But you know what makes it great? Emotion.

I want to help capture the emotion of your family during our photo session together.

There are a few things that are my job as the photographer to help facilitate this:

  • Talk with you beforehand and during the session about your family, what you enjoy, what you want from the photos, and what you are nervous about

  • Prepare you about what to expect so you can come in with the best mindset for the session

  • Create an environment that feels calm and comfortable for you to be able to relax

I will let you in on a secret…I don’t feel natural in front of a camera. And most people don’t. I find it takes a little time before anyone can truly relax with a camera in their face. So that is one of the things I emphasize during a newborn session, we have time. It is not rushed, it is supposed to be calm, low-key and go at the pace the baby sets.

Let me photograph your newest little family member and the joy of their arrival too!

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.
