Your home is the setting for the most beautiful, honest, memorable, photos. I want to share some reasons why in-home sessions hold such a special place in my heart and my business. As a mom and a photographer I have thought and reflected on ways to capture these fleeting days. I have thought of the moments I want to remember most, and so many of those most intimate memories take place inside my home. I feel like it is time to use that more to capture families, newborns, maternity and milestones. Your home is where your life story is being told.

Your home is the place to tell your story. The paintings on the walls, the couches that have been cuddled on, the toys in the corners. Those are the details on your life. Your home is where so many moments unfold. In-home newborn sessions are extra special because your home if the place you are bringing them to. The place they will feel warm, loved and safe. When you look back on the photos you will remember the early moments in that special place.

In home photos allow the most flexibility in timing. We don’t have to worry about the golden hour of outside or early morning sun. We can fully work around baby’s schedule, toddlers nap time or any of the million things on a mom’s to do list. I often schedule in home newborn sessions mid mornings but with flexibility. Sometimes early afternoon is better for families with preschoolers, or later afternoon for families with elementary ages kids.

While I know in home sessions can feel stressful, believe me I understand, I have three kids, a mountain of laundry, crumbs on the floor, sticky door knobs and mismatched furniture. I still feel like for all family members they are less stressful. Your child can take a break when they need to play, eat a familiar snack. Parents can take a quick work call. In chilly seasons no one has to bundle up and babies don’t need to go in and out of car seats.
And in terms of you home, it is perfect. Just the way it is. We just need some natural light. We will work by windows, we can clear any distractions together, we can open shades, open doors. The magic will happen.
Your home probably has a window or two, and people who love each other. So it is perfect.

Your photos will be unique to you and to your family, which also makes in home sessions beautiful and special.
Of course my next piece of advice is print those photos and hang them on your walls! Trust me, you will never regret the photos. The value of them just increases in time.
