“Is in Home Newborn Photography for Me?” | Thoughts from a Lifestyle Photographer

When I come into your home, all I see is you.

Not the mess recently created by your two year old, or the bags under your eyes from late nights nursing, or your talent (or maybe lack of talent) for interior decorating, or whether you own a magazine worthy home.

I walk in and all I see is your family…

I see the way your daughter laces her fingers around your husband’s neck. I see the way you breathe your newborn in when you hold her close. I see how gently your toddler’s lips smush against your newborns head when she leans in for a kiss...

I see your seemingly crazy messy transitioning life and my eyes light up because what I see and love capturing through my lens is not unrealistic perfection, but soul quenching connection.

Real, messy, imperfect, beautiful, and unique to every family... connection.

Every time I am blessed to photograph a family, this is what I experience. When I see a family interacting and loving on each other, I light up! Photographing families is where my heart is.


I know when you’re deep in the trenches of motherhood, the beauty can be really hard to see. (I get it. I’m living there too.) The never ending laundry, constantly unexplained sticky spots on the floor, sick babies, late nights... raising a family is hard! Seeing the beauty in the everyday moments can be tricky… but it’s there. Sometimes we just need a little more outside perspective, to help us gleam how truly special and beautiful the chapter of life we’re in is.

When I walk into your little corner of the universe, all I see is how amazingly beautiful it is and I desperately want you to see it too.

Does my dream newborn session align with yours?

I know it’s hard, but don’t stop seeing how amazing, crazy, beautiful and wonderful this time of life you’re in truly is friend.
