Lenexa In-Home Newborn Lifestyle | Space Themed Nursery

I was so excited when Josh reached out to me about doing newborn photos. Josh + Alyssa are dear friends of ours from our college days at Mid-America Nazarene University. Fun fact Josh and my husband are actually childhood best friends from western Kansas! We went on a double with them for their very first date years ago (more like 12 years ago…what?!) and now here we are watching them become parents to this incredibly lucky and adorable baby boy.

I love how tasteful and simply they’ve decorated this starry night nursery for a baby boy. The statement piece in the room is the navy blue dresser and changing table Josh built himself! I love the gold handles they chose. (Insert heart eyes.)

One thing I love about in-home sessions is how slow paced and relaxed they can be. There’s no reason to rush and scramble. When a family is comfortable during their session that often reflected in their images.

Sweet Isla J. was a champ and slept through the entire newborn session. Our secret? Swaddled her up really tight and cozy. It was just what she needed. She was so comfy she snoozed the whole time—making her momma’s wish come true.

The first few weeks after bringing home a new baby are such a blur. It’s often hard to remember what life was like when they were so small and squishy. It’s one reason I love lifestyle sessions so much. These sessions capture those small moments early in a child’s life that are hard to remember because they go by so fast (and because of sleep deprivation).

To the parents of Isla: You guys are doing a fantastic job. Keep it up! <3
