It was such a privilege to be allowed into this family’s home during the first weeks of their precious baby girls new life to capture newborn photos for them. She was such a great little model and didn’t pee on my blanket until the very end of the photo shoot! Her big brothers were just smitten with her, especially the youngest, who is 8 years old and super excited to be a big brother.

There is something so intimate about an in-home newborn photo session, about being let into someone’s home in the midst of their sleep deprivation and the huge adjustment to having a new member of the household. However, it’s also super convenient not just for new moms, but for families with older kids as well. When the kids are at home, they can run around and play in their natural environment in between being called in for pictures. Mom can relax and even wait to freshen up until I am there and setting up. If the family wants to use any special props, like outfits or blankets that have been gifted to the baby, they don’t have to worry about gathering everything up and bringing it to a studio, or even worse, forgetting something at home! Yes, you can get professional newborn photos in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

Did I mention another benefit for new families to have newborn photography done in the comfort of your own home? You don’t have to worry about bringing snacks for your older kids or for Mom/Dad! Most newborn photo sessions run 2-3 hours long, so if someone gets hungry, it’s pretty quick and easy to run into the kitchen and grab something to eat!

What happens if it’s an overcast day or you don’t have great natural light in your house? You don’t have to worry! I bring external photography lights. These newborn photos were all taken on a very dark and cloudy day. You know, one of those weird summer days where it just rains and rains? Yep! It was one of those days and we still got beautiful portraits.
