Beautiful baby Scout, newborn photos at home

Sweet little, brand new baby Scout was a joy during her newborn photos at home. She was everything a brand new baby is… sleepy and hungry. She wasn’t a fan of being swaddled and slept so sweetly when we laid her on her tummy for pictures. She’s welcomed to the world by her loving and curious big sister, calming mama, and attentive daddy. There’s a lot of love for this little one.

Oh the shenanigans we implored to get these images. They involved an ipad hovering over my camera.

Why newborn sessions at home?

I find that this is where babies are most comfortable and most easily calmed. In the room you’ve created for them, with the family that loves them. The smells are familiar, when all else is new. Also, I just love doing these sessions at home because I love the intimacy they provide. I even wrote a whole post about lifestyle newborn photography. There’s just nothing sweeter. Inquire about your own newborn session. I’d love to tell you all about them.

Mom post here:

I am teary eyed as I type this. Today was the last Elementary Chapel for this 5th grade class (my son’s class). During this “Legacy Chapel” they passed the leadership plaque down to the 4th graders as they prepare to be next year’s lower school leaders.

I am so proud of our current 5th graders. This class has navigated more than anyone would have ever imagined and they have a unique bond amongst each other on this side of those collective pains. They started Kindergarten the year of the pandemic and have seen firsthand the hurt of sickness and death in this fallen world.

Still, they are joyful, playful, hard working, and compassionate in a way that constantly surprises me. No doubt that God has great things in store for them; and our school community is beyond blessed to have each and every one of them and their families as a part of it.

Class of 2033, let’s go!

What my portfolio doesn't tell you about me

When was the last time you looked at an old family photo and thought, `I wish fewer people were in this`?

Probably never.

That is exactly why I always say yes when families ask whether they should include the grandparents, the cousins, the aunt and uncle who are only in town for a few days.

When you are not sure, say yes anyway. We will find a way to make it work.

A few things I want every family to know before a multigenerational session.

Start with the group shot - always. I photograph the full group first, before anything else, so every person in attendance (including the ones who drove the farthest) knows the most important image is already done. From there, we move through smaller groupings with a lighter energy.

Tell me about mobility before we choose a location. If a grandparent or family member has any physical considerations, I need to know before we land on a spot. There is always a way to create beautiful images that honor everyone present - I just need to know what we are working with so I can plan for it.

Mornings are almost always better for the little ones. Babies and toddlers are near-universally happier before the afternoon hits. When multiple generations are present, timing the session well makes a real difference in the energy of the whole group.

And if there are any family dynamics I should be aware of - specific pairings that need extra care, or groupings you would prefer I not suggest - please tell me. It keeps everything moving warmly, and it protects everyone from an awkward moment in front of the camera.

Planning is how multigenerational sessions go well. I am always happy to talk it through before your session date. Contact me through my website, link in bio.
