What I love about this session is that it is so personal to them. This is their house, their nursery, and their space. No matter how many times they move or redecorate, seeing these images will bring back all those feelings they felt bringing their little guy home for the first time. It’s emotional, and if they are like me, overwhelming to have a new baby. I lived in a tiny one bedroom apartment when I had my first child. It was scary for me to have this tiny little human who relied on me for everything.

Newborn photography for me isn’t about fancy props and complicated poses, it’s about the family. It’s about who they are, and how much love they have for each other. Parents are often in a haze of sleep depravation, sometimes physical pain, and recovery. I don’t want them to forget the love among all of those overwhelming feelings.
