There is something truly special about photographing a newborn in the comfort of their own home. As a photographer, I love the intimacy and authenticity that an in-home newborn session brings. It allows me to capture those fleeting first days of a baby’s life in a way that feels natural, cozy, and deeply personal. Recently, I had the privilege of photographing a beautiful newborn session for one of my favorite couples. I’ve photographed every stage of life for them, from their engagement session, destination wedding, maternity photos, and now their newborn session. It’s so sweet to be the one who gets do document their growing family!

One of the biggest advantages of an in-home session is that it captures the baby’s first environment—where they will grow, learn, and create memories. I always encourage parents to keep things simple. Natural light from a nearby window, neutral tones, and a few sentimental items make for the perfect setting. On this particular day, we used a cozy nursery corner and a well-lit bedroom to capture a variety of looks.

While posed newborn portraits have their charm, I always make space for candid, unscripted moments. Some of my favorite images from this session were of the baby snuggled in a parent’s arms, and the quiet in-between moments where mom and dad simply admired their little one. These images tell a story far beyond a single moment—they capture the deep love and connection that defines these early days.

Newborn sessions at home are not just about beautiful portraits; they are about comfort, convenience, and creating timeless memories in a space that holds meaning. There’s no rushing out the door, no unfamiliar studio space—just the natural rhythm of home life and the pure love of a growing family.

Every session is unique, and every family has a story to tell. Being invited into someone’s home to document these first moments is always an honor, and I can’t wait to capture more of these cherished memories for families in the future. Let me capture your memories next.
