I’m finally giving a little love to the blog after coming up for air from busy season! I got a chance to meet this sweet girl way back in September.

My favorite part of this session was talking to this little guy all about his new role as a BIG brother. He was SO proud and doting on his little sister. We would take some pictures and then he would go enjoy a break with his toys or dad and then pop back in to see me.

I sure wish these in home lifestyle sessions would have been a “thing” when I had my kiddos ten years ago. Maybe they were and I just didn’t know it! All I remember was how stressful it was getting myself, my strong willed toddler, and my hungry baby piled in the car and heading to a small studio and then praying we could get ONE picture with everyone not feeling like the train wreck I did after undertaking such an event. Spoiler alert….no, we didn’t get that.

Fast forward 10 years, and that’s why I LOVE doing in home lifestyle newborn sessions so much. I always tell moms ahead of the session that it will feel so easy and relaxed because I want to assure them that this is not stressful at all. You even get a good excuse to take a shower and put on makeup! That’s honestly the hardest part of the entire thing.

Once I arrive, we let baby settle in to some natural shots, capturing his or her tiny details and preferences, and then focus on the love and connection that everyone feels for this new little arrival.
