A timeless theme that has spanned decades is the classic Calvin Klein inspired maternity photos. There is something nostalgic about the denim and Calvin Klein undergarment pairing. When clients come to the table with that idea already in their head, I get so excited! At home maternity photography can feel a bit “what are we […]

Relax and play in your own space by hiring a family photographer who comes to your house. You can sleep in and feed the babies, while waiting to have your photos at home. There are a few things to take into consideration when finding a photographer. First, do you like them? No, seriously. Do you […]

There is one place and one place only that is the backdrop for newborn photography and that’s newborn photos at home. Not only is home where the real work happens, but it creates a keepsake for your family. To look back at photos taken in your own nursery or on your parent’s bed is food […]

Preparation for a newborn session with a family five is the most important part of our booking process. Your newborn will guide us between posing and lifestyle imagery- depending on their sleepiness or their alertness. The older siblings, depending on age, will be in an out of the frame, taking little breaks to play and wonder around the home to decompress.

That is the best part of having a photographer come to YOU when you have three children to manage. Their toys, their soothing activities, their private space to relax is right there. It takes a little bit of the pressure off and allows us to go with flow of the morning.

These sessions work together to tell your story- from belly bumps to holding newborns, a photographer can use your home in a way to create a story that unfolds easily from maternity to newborn.

The best way to bring pets into the session is to do it in a natural, safe way. This can include laying on the couch, snuggled in bed. We will use treats and toys to gain attention and interaction. Sometimes the morning can be a bit overwhelming for fur friends, so we want to make sure there is always a safe option B for when we need a little rest and calmness.

These images were taken in two rooms and two rooms only. I could have done the entire session on the couch. There was so much fun, laughter and young energy here! So many little games and stories to tell and kisses to give. Soon this family of three will be a family of four and this time together will be a chapter in the books.

I have a few behind the scene videos of how an at home newborn session works- I try to arrive at your home when you are feeding your new baby which gives me sometime to find some pockets of light, warm up a few spaces with my travel space heater, move a chair or kitchen table to get the best lighting and get set up for our time together. Your home is not on display! And no, you do not have to be an interior decorator to have photographs done in your own home. All of the images you see on my website, my instagram, my blogs, are all taken in hallways, kitchens, guest bedrooms, laundry rooms. That is MY job! You get to relax, feed your baby, snuggle and play with your children while I find the moments that make for beautiful photos of your life.

I will always tell my Mamas to get these kids so pumped and excited to see me.  I want to be your friend and someone they can play with and look forward to meeting.  Though I do think it is important to share that I will be bringing a camera and taking photographs, I do […]
