Welcome to the world little one! You are blessed with a beautiful and sweet family. In-home family newborn sessions are always so special. There’s something so sweet about taking photos of your family in the place where your daily routines and family memories are built and created. The time and love put into the nursery and the details you look back on with fond memories.
I couldn’t wait to meet this little girl! This sweet and cozy little babe rocked her newborn session! She flashed a few quick smiles and I just barely managed to catch one. I could die over how sweet their dog is with baby girl. She has taken it upon herself to let mom and dad know when baby Evelyn is crying…just in case they miss it.
Originally when Alissa reached out to me we discussed options and plans for her maternity session back in the spring. However, our lives took a little but of an unexpected turn and we had to put a pin in those plans due to the coronavirus. We finally decided to cancel their maternity session and make plans for an in-home newborn session hoping things would look a little different. I am so glad we bumped their original plans and were able to do these family/newborn photos in their home! I was able to meet their precious little girl and their adorably protective pup. This little girl was awake for the first part of her newborn session and we were able to get some adorable photos of her precious smiles and bright eyes as she looked up and her loving parents. She was a champ! After take a little break to let mom soothe and hold her she slowly started to close her eyes and fall asleep while holding on to her daddy’s hand…PRECIOUS!
Once again I am honored and humbled to be asked to document and capture these fleeting moments in the early stages of their young family.
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
