Since moving to New York I definitely spend less time in Boston, and I miss it like crazy!

I was so excited when this sweet family reached out to plan their newborn session at their apartment in the South End. I have worked with families all over the city in spacious condos and tiny apartments, with lots of natural light and with teeny tiny windows. Every time I am invited into a family’s home is an adventure, and I always love watching the moments that unfold.

You really don’t need a lot of space to photograph a family welcoming their baby home, and I love finding creative new ways to work with the space in the master bedrooms, living rooms, and nurseries.

We captured the most beautiful portraits of sweet baby Julia and big brother George. He was so excited to hold his little sister, and we definitely got so many cute expressions from him!

Cozy family portraits in front of the windows are my fave!

I love everything about this cozy, close up portrait of miss Julia being showered in love.

This chair has traveled with Julia’s mama from apartment to apartment after she inherited it from a previous owner, and it now sits in a sunny corner of their living room. I love that it has such a rich history, and that the beautiful fabric was the perfect backdrop for their baby girl!

Our Fine Art Albums are my absolute FAVORITE heirloom product that we offer to families during our gallery reveal appointments. They are simply stunning, and they weave together all of your favorite images from your portrait session. I love that they are a keepsake that will preserve your family's memories for many, many years.

The albums are breathtaking in person, and I have had countless families gasp when they finally hold their books in their hands for the first time, tearing up as they turn the pages. I like to believe that this is because they know they are holding their most cherished family heirloom.

It's a book that their children will grown up turning the pages of and pointing out all the little details of their family's story.

It's a keepsake that they will pass down to their children in 25 or 30 years when they have little ones of their own.

That's why I am so excited to share the album from Jack's newborn session with you today. I joined his family in their home for a relaxed lifestyle newborn session, and we cozied up in the nursery, master bedroom, and living room for some sweet little moments together.

During every lifestyle newborn session, I take 5 minutes and photograph all of the little details that you so carefully planned in your baby's nursery -- the crib, the mobile, the artwork on the walls, the perfectly styled bookshelves, the little gifts from friends & family. You spent 9+ months planning for your baby, and so much love goes into those preparations.

It is so important to capture the tiny details of your baby's first room, because those will be the items that surround your baby and shape their childhood. As you'll see in the pages below, the antique rocking horse will be loved for years, and Jack will grow up wearing his Red Sox cap while eating his favorite foods off of his hand-painted plate. He will read the board books hundreds of times, and his parents will stub their toes on his wooden train a time or two while walking through the nursery in the dark. ;o)

I absolutely love that this family chose an album with their collection. These storybooks are the perfect way to weave together all of those little details and tell your story. Enjoy a sneak peek into this adorable family's life, and leave a comment below to tell me which was your favorite spread in their album!
