Lifestyle sessions always steal my heart. There is something so magical about being invited into a family's home to capture their quiet moments together as they welcome their brand new baby into the family, and I love visiting them in their space and documenting these moments for them to show their children one day that THIS is the space we brought you home to when you were born.

Even if they change houses and move states, there is something so amazing about that first home that holds so many newborn memories for them. The first cuddles, the first smiles. So many late night feedings, and quiet moments just watching your baby breathe in and out when they're (finally!) asleep. The walls are filled with stories, and it's always an honor to be invited into their space to capture the beginning of this new love story for their family.

Vivian Jane's house was filled with natural light, and we started off in the bedroom with a simple wrap and a knit blanket that I brought from the studio. Her mom bought a few headbands before the session for a sweet girly touch.

Family portraits are always my favorite during our lifestyle newborn sessions at home. Tina & Curtis cuddled up on the bed with their baby girl, and we captured some quiet moments of the three of them together.

Are you wondering where in your house we might capture a few portraits? If you have a sliding door, there's a pretty good chance we'll go there for lots of natural light to flood your portraits! I love these moments we captured in their living room that show their beautiful bond with their new daughter, and a hint at their style with their furniture and decor showing in the background.
