the in-home newborn experience
Those newborn days can pass in a blur- you're healing form birth, getting to know a new tiny human who relies on you for everything and figuring out the changing roles in your family. We work together from the very beginning to make sure we've eliminated as much mental load and work prior to your session so you can be in the moment, kiss that tiny nose, snuggle in with your family and just be in the moment.
Just like with maternity and family sessions, in home newborn sessions come with hands on planning and use of my client closet to help create that beautiful artwork you're wanting to fill your home with. I know it takes a lot of trust to welcome someone into your home and around your new baby, so I want to be sure you're more than comfortable allowing me in your space and to capture this moment for you.
A lifestyle approach to newborns means we're getting those real moments that capture the love in your family and life as it looks right now! All the parts of those early days you'll want captured- whether it's snuggled up in the nursery, an older sibling sharing their favorite book with new baby or a cuddle puddle in the living room. We're following baby's lead for posing and will take lots of breaks as needed for diapers changes, spit takes, feedings and snuggles.
I love capturing those sweet little "imperfect" moments as those are the ones we usually want to remember most! Capturing those little laughs, snuggles and playful moments allows me to help you show up in more than just selfies with your babes or hubby! Please don't worry about an immaculate house or Pinterest worthy backgrounds, I am comfortable in shooting in all spaces and lighting scenarios to capture that connection and love. Rest easy in knowing that what is outside of frame won't be in your wall art, I promise!
this time with your kids is so important
laugh, play games, be silly and just be yourselves
The unfortunate part about raising littles is every day they wake up a little bigger! Before we know it the snuggly newborn stage is over, the Velcro impersonation stage is traded for chasing after them on that next big adventure, "Mama hold me" is traded for "I hold your hand" and every step is so exciting and new while simultaneously being a little sad- don't let this chapter close without snagging a piece to hold onto forever!
It’s not just about taking photos, it’s about building memories
this time with your kids is so important
It’s not just about taking photos, it’s about building memories
Photography is the closest we've come to time travel. It allows us to relive our memories in every beautiful detail. Imagine yourself 7-10 years from now sitting in your living room, flipping through your family’s photo album, smiling and getting tear eyed while reminiscing on all the beautiful memories made with your kids- the excitment waiting on their arrival, those snugly newborn days, their pudgy little hands, never ending energy and unbinding curiosity about the world.
Those memories are priceless.
