a beautiful at home newborn session

The past session spotlight continues with this adorable newborn session from a couple of years ago(!). I love capturing those first days as a family is finding their groove. Often I am the first non-family member welcomed into this little family cocoon, and it’s an honor I don’t take lightly.

In-home sessions are so wonderful because we can follow the baby’s lead and take as much time and as many breaks as needed for feeding, changing, burping, and all the things a little one needs.

I just love how they are gazing at each other here:

These first days go by in a sleep deprived haze and it’s another reason I love to capture this time. With some sleep and some perspective, these images will be even sweeter. It will be hard to believe she was ever this teeny, and without photos it’d be easy to forget she ever had adorable little peely feet.

I take the time to capture the details in the nursery and around the house, because I know they will be such fun details to look back on in the future. Such care was taken on this adorable, colorful nursery and I want this little one to be able to look back at it when she is older.

Those little faces! I make sure I get it all. I also make sure I photograph your first babies, of the furry variety.

This family is going to be welcoming a new member of the family this year. I’m so glad they can look back on these images from when they were just a little unit of three.
