Welcoming a newborn into the family is an extraordinary journey filled with love, joy, and countless memorable moments. Throughout my photography journey I have enjoyed specializing in capturing the essence of families with young children and especially love being able to photograph families when a newborn joins the household. In-home newborn photography sessions are so precious because of the personalized touch that sneaks into the final images.


One concern that often arises among families considering an in-home photo session is the lack of natural light. Many worry that their home may not have enough light to create beautiful images. Maybe you have smaller windows or the rooms that you want to photograph in don’t get the best sunlight. However, let me reassure you that with the right equipment and expertise, stunning photographs can be captured in any lighting condition.

During this particular newborn session, I utilized flash photography to enhance the natural light that was already present making it possible to highlight the precious moments shared by the family. By strategically using flash, I was able to create soft, natural-looking light that accentuated the warmth and tenderness of the family’s interactions. The result was a collection of timeless images that beautifully showed off the love and connection within the family.

I understand that inviting a photographer into your home to document such intimate moments can feel daunting. However, rest assured that my approach is centered around creating a comfortable and relaxed environment for you and your family. I strive to blend into the background, allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally while ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully captured.
