Coming Home

My newborn lifestyle and documentary sessions are unposed, real snippets of life at home with baby and your new family. You can be as made up or undone as you wish! Siblings and pets are always welcome to create a more vivid picture. The newborn phase is so fleeting and precious, I love to capture those moments when breastfeeding is still new and a work in progress, siblings don’t know quite how best to hold their “babies”, and pets don’t know what to make of things.

HOW IT WORKS

I come to your home withing the first few weeks and document your new little family. We can arrange to have siblings there snuggling and joining in the fun as well, and I can capture the details of your postpartum experience and your brand new growing family. This includes furbabies! This session takes approximately 1-2 hours.  I will guide you as needed, and it’s baby led and low key. Breastfeeding, changing baby, snuggling with siblings or pets, interacting with both parents all make for beautiful moments.
