Capturing the Sheaffer Family in their home was a beautiful experience that I’ll always cherish. This in-home family session, though from a while back, stands out because it highlights everything I love about family + newborn photography!

A Big Sister’s Joy

One of the sweetest moments was seeing big sister embrace her new role with so much happiness. The love she had for her new sibling was evident in every shot, making this session even more special. These are the moments that families will look back on and cherish forever, and it’s an honor to be able to document them!

Perfect Wardrobe Choices

A huge part of what made this session so visually stunning was the color palette the mom chose for the family. Light, neutral, and earth-toned colors are always a win, especially for indoor sessions! They not only create a calm and timeless feel, but also photograph beautifully against the soft, natural light that often floods into homes.

Brighter colors, while fun, can sometimes reflect on the skin and create unwanted color casts. That’s why I always recommend sticking to softer tones for indoor sessions. It’s also why I’m always happy to help with wardrobe choices—ensuring everyone looks and feels their best in front of the camera is so important to me!
