WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR AT-HOME NEWBORN SESSION
I'm so glad you're considering an in-home session. These are designed to feel relaxed, natural, and centered around your baby and your family.
A CALM, EASY START
When I arrive, I'll begin by walking through your space with you. I typically photograph in the living room, bedroom, nursery if availble.
I'll ask you to open the shades or curtains to let in as much natural light as possible. Don't worry about having a perfectly clean home. I know life with a newborn is a lot, and i will gently move or adjust things as needed.
All we really need is a couch or a simple seating area to start.
WHAT I BRING
I come fully prepared with a curated suitcase of soft, neutral pieces including wraps, blankets, knits, headbands, and a basket for a baby.
Everything is selected to keep your images timeless, simple, and focused on your baby.
A BABY-LED, FAMILY-CENTERED EXPERIENCE
Sessions are calm and unhurried. I gently guide posing when needed, always prioritizing your baby's comfort and safety.
We'll include parents, siblings, and even pets if you'd like. I'll guide you through everything so it feels natural and easy.
We'll take breaks as needed for feeding, changing, or simply settling your baby. There's no rush, your session flows around your baby.
MOVING THROUGH YOUR HOME
We'll usually begin in the living room, the move to the bedroom.
In the bedroom, you'll have time to feed, change or settle your baby as needed. I'll photograph soft, relaxed moments on the bed using natural light.
The only thing I ask for:
If you have a nursery, we can also take a few images there.
BABY-ONLY PORTRAITS
Toward the end of the session, I'll create a simple baby-only images using the basket, wraps, and soft layers i bring with me.
These are natural, cozy, and designed to complement the rest of your gallery.
A RELAXED EXPERIENCE
You don't need to prepare perfectly. Just be present with your baby.
I'll help with everything along the way so you feel comfortable, confident, and taken care of from the start to finish.
QUICK PREP BEFORE I ARRIVE
