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.)

Olathe Maternity | Troy & Alyssa

These two are so close to meeting their little boy! With all the quarantines and stay-at-home orders we had to push back this session a few times. I knew how important it was to Alyssa that we get this session done once it was safe to do so. The weather was beautiful and the session was lovely. Congratulations Troy and Alyssa! I can’t wait for you to meet your little man!

In-Home Newborn Session

It’s a boy!! I love it when I am able to do maternity and newborn sessions for people. It’s exciting getting to be a part of a couple or families journey right before they meet their little one. I was eagerly awaiting news from Robyn knowing we were getting close to her due date.

Robyn and Nathan set up the nursery with an adorable Hundred Acre Woods and Winnie the Pooh theme for the little guy to come home to.

In-Home Family Session | Kansas City Photographer

The more I do in-home sessions the more I love the different side you get to see of families. I’ve noticed that everyone seems to be more comfortable in front of a camera when they are in a comfortable and familiar setting. The kids are often more playful, they are more cuddly, and sometimes they’ll even bring out some of their favorite toys to show off or document. Those often make some of the best photos..kids at play with their favorite every day toys or stuffed animals. There’s nothing more comfortable than snuggled up on your own couch with mom.
