Newborn sessions hold a special place in my heart. There is something magical about capturing the early days of a baby’s life! It is a time filled with love, wonder, and the tiniest of details that pass by all too quickly. Desiree and Landis’ at-home newborn session was a perfect example of how beautiful these moments can be, even amidst the chaos of new parenthood!

Embracing the Beauty of Imperfection

Welcoming a newborn comes with big changes and adjustments, and I know the thought of a photoshoot during this time can feel overwhelming. But here’s the thing: your home doesn’t need to be magazine-worthy, and everything doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, it’s the raw, unposed moments that often hold the most meaning. Desiree and Landis trusted me to guide the session, and the result was a collection of photos that truly captured the love and connection within their family!

Letting the Session Unfold Naturally

One of the things I love most about newborn sessions is letting them unfold naturally. Babies don’t need to sleep through the entire shoot, and I adore capturing those moments when a newborn’s eyes are wide open, taking in the world around them. Whether we’re shooting in a cozy corner of your living room or sitting on the floor by a window, I’ll find the best spots to highlight your family’s connection and the beauty of your home.

Trust the Process

For Desiree and Landis, trusting the process made all the difference. They embraced my wardrobe suggestions and allowed me to take the reins on where to shoot within their home. This trust allowed me to focus on capturing authentic, timeless moments—moments they’ll cherish forever. Whether it’s a tender snuggle, a soft kiss on the forehead, or a sweet yawn from their little one, these images tell a story of love and new beginnings!

Why You’ll Never Regret a Newborn Session

Years from now, you’ll look back on these photos and be so grateful you took the time to document this fleeting stage of life. Your baby won’t stay this little forever, but the memories captured in a newborn session will last a lifetime. So, trust me, relax, and let’s create something beautiful together!
