In Home Newborn Lifestyle Photos

I must apologize.  This was an old post I found in the ‘drafts’ of my blog.  I have no idea how this never got posted.  Maybe because I recall photographing this sweet baby girl about a month before our son was born.  I think that this gallery was completed exactly three days before I went into labor. hehe  This momma and I go way back, so it was all good.

As I look at these photos, I can’t help but smile so big….so I have to post…even if they are like 9M late.  hehe

It can be an interesting transition from being the only child to becoming a big sibling.  It can be a challenge to get photographs of a toddler with their new baby brother or sister.  In these cases, I’ve found it’s best to just be as natural as possible.  Sometimes the only way to get big bro (or big sis) in any of the photos is to just have the entire family in the photos so there can be a more relaxed atmosphere.  And sometimes, a toddler will only sit for a couple of pics, period…but sometimes, I get lucky and the toddler will give us like a whole 5-10 minutes in one place…which was the case with this sweet boy.  I truly feel that these types of photographs are the best memories to catch….your family in real life.  Photographs that aren’t too staged or planned….capturing emotion and relationships.

Let me also say that you don’t have to have a fancy, highly decorate home for in home photo sessions.  Actually, the more simple the better!  I often have clients who are hesitant for me to come to their homes for our session.  Rest assured, I understand that you have a life and that most of the time our homes are not visitor ready (or what we think is visitor ready) and will make sure that I work around any part of your home that would not be idea for photos.  I think I’m pretty creative like that. 😉  I’ve dusted a few tables on the job…I don’t even charge extra.  hehe  No really, in all seriousness….your home is beautiful at it is!  Let me help you showcase that with your family!
