Mama had mentioned that she normally takes photos herself, setting up the tripod and using a timer. She said how happy she was to get to come and enjoy the process and not have to be in charge! She helped to straighten sweaters and make her people smile. The mother really is the heart of the home, and I am so happy that she could just be.

Sharing a couple pictures from a recent in-home Newborn Photography Session. Baby girl was less than a week old and so happy to be snuggled. Mama had this beautiful stone wall in her home, and it made for a lovely backdrop.  

These images haven’t been fully retouched, so don’t be put off by lint that has not been retouched!  I just had to post to share all of these sweet moments with this beautiful family.  It was not supposed to be as cold as it was, but a cold front came through.  Mama was so prepared and had an extra shirt in the car for the little guy to wear under his long-sleeved shirt.  He also wore a little jacket and we took turns taking it off for a few pictures and then putting it back on again when it wasn’t his turn.  We also did a lot of cuddly poses to help keep him warm. 

Do you have a favorite outdoor place your family visits often?  I would love to tag along and photograph you and your loves in that space that has meaning to you all!
