In-Home Newborn Family Session

I had so much fun with Baby S and her family during this session. Family newborn sessions are quickly becoming one of my favorite types of sessions and I can’t wait to do more of them!

Family Sessions with Newborns

While many of my newborn session clients are first-time parents, I always get excited when I have a client who has older children too. I met this family when they only had one child and a second on the way. I actually photographed their American wedding celebration after they moved here from China! While this session was primarily to document baby S in her newborn stage, we also made sure to capture her older siblings and the role that they play. Especially when you have a child becoming an older sibling for the first time, it is so important to make them feel included. Documenting their relationship with the new baby is such a great way to cherish both of the children and these are often the photographs that parents love the most.

During my newborn sessions, I also make sure to get plenty of photos of both parents. Whether it’s your first child or your fifth, the newborn stage moves quickly and you deserve beautiful photos of you with your baby. Too often, I find that moms are behind the camera instead of in front of it, so it’s a huge priority of mine to take authentic photos of you and your newborn.

This family session was truly a joy to capture and baby S is the luckiest little girl to grow up in this loving family!

Newborn Lifestyle Session

This session with Baby L and his parents is just too stinking cute! We had such a great evening at their home capturing these photos for them to cherish. 

Newborn Lifestyle Sessions

If you are looking for a photographer for your newborn session, an important item to note is that there are two popular types of newborn sessions. There is posed newborn photography (sometimes also referred to as studio newborn photography) and then there is lifestyle newborn photography. If you are looking for photos of your little babe bundled up in a basket or a carefully curated set, that is posed newborn photography. What I offer is lifestyle newborn photography.

Lifestyle newborn photography is what it sounds like - photos of your newborn in everyday life. These photos usually include parents and siblings and take place in your home. They capture not only your newborn but what life looked like at this time. I love newborn lifestyle photography because having a newborn is so much more than just a sleepy baby with rosy cheeks. It’s also diaper changes and feeding and the way your home looks when the sunlight hits the rocking chair in the nursery.

My goal is always to preserve a moment in time for my clients, and newborn photography is no exception to that. Baby L and his parents let me into their lives for an evening and we captured this time for them to look back on and remember.
