Andi & Warren Newborn Lifestyle Session

Meet Andi & Warren! After spending two weeks in the NICU, these preemie twins made their way home healthy and we did an in-home lifestyle session when they were around 2 months old.

Meet Andi & Warren! After spending two weeks in the NICU, these preemie twins made their way home healthy and we did an in home newborn lifestyle session when they were around 2 months old.

On the day of our shoot, Andi & Warren took turns falling asleep and being alert and giving me (and mom and dad) beautiful baby eye contact. I love that we were able to incorporate photos of them with their parents too. Check out a recap of our time together below!

Also, see my helpful blog post on what to wear to your portrait session if you’re planning an in-home newborn session.

Andrea and Patrick's Newborn Session (Aurora)

Andrea and I have been friends since before we were born - our parents were college friends and Andrea and her sister were two of my first playmates. I was SO excited when Andrea and her husband Patrick asked me to photograph their new baby, Aurora.

Lindy and Willie's Newborn Session (Skyler)

Lindy & Willie live in the same town as me so photo sessions are super easy and fun with them. They always have new restaurant or running route recommendations for me as a relative newbie in town (Lindy grew up here). Despite a few tears at the beginning, Skyler was just as photogenic as her parents and she worked a handful of excellent outfits styled by her mother.

Lindy & Willie live in the same town as me so photo sessions are super easy and fun with them. They always have new restaurant or running route recommendations for me as a relative newbie in town (Lindy grew up here). Skyler was born in late May and she was exactly 3 weeks old for our photo session. Despite a few tears at the beginning, she was just as photogenic as her parents and she worked a handful of excellent outfits styled by her mother. Lindy’s best friend happened to be there for a visit so we incorporated her into a few shots. Willie required a few photos with Skyler wrapped in a scarf from his favorite football (soccer) team, Everton F.C. She is obviously already a huge fan! Welcome to the world, Skyler!

Lela and Paul's Newborn Session (Otis)

After photographing their engagement session and maternity photos, Lela and Paul asked me to do an in-home newborn session once Lela gave birth back in January. This was my first ever newborn session and I fell in love with it immediately.

After photographing their engagement session and maternity photos, Lela and Paul asked me to do an in-home newborn session once Lela gave birth back in January. This was my first ever newborn session and I fell in love with it immediately. So many squishy details and adorable, cozy, photo ops. I wanted to incorporate mom & dad in some photos too as well as their home and space - we opened up the curtains and let lots of natural light in which made for the beautiful silhouetted family portrait you’ll see at the end. Welcome to the world, Otis!
