At-Home Newborn Session: Capturing the Magic of Your New Arrival

Welcoming a newborn into your home is one of life’s most precious moments—filled with sleepy smiles, tiny yawns, and those soft little snuggles that make your heart melt. An at-home newborn session lets us capture these fleeting days in the comfort of your own space, creating memories you’ll treasure forever.

Why I Love Doing At-Home Sessions

I adore in-home newborn sessions because they’re relaxed and natural. Some of my favourite moments are when a baby curls up in their own crib, a parent gently rocks them, or even the family pet decides to join in.

  • Comfort and Calm: Being at home means everyone feels relaxed—baby, parents, and even siblings.

  • Your Story, Your Space: The little details of your home—nursery decorations, soft blankets, little toys—make the photos uniquely yours.

  • Beautiful Natural Light: Soft light from windows gives that dreamy, gentle feel that works perfectly for newborn portraits.

What Happens During the Session

I follow the pace of your baby, letting the session flow naturally:

  • Time to Breathe: Sessions usually last about 1–2 hours, giving plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and little breaks.

  • Baby Leads the Way: Everything happens at your baby’s rhythm, so they stay comfortable and happy.

  • Mix of Shots: I love capturing wide shots that show your family in your home, as well as close-ups of tiny hands, toes, and those adorable features that grow so fast.

How to Prepare

You don’t need to stress—these sessions are relaxed. A few little things help:

  • Keep It Simple: A tidy space is enough; no need for a deep clean.

  • Let in Light: Open curtains and blinds so we have plenty of soft, natural light.

  • Dress Comfortably: Soft, neutral tones work beautifully and keep the focus on your little one.

Why These Moments Matter

Babies grow so quickly—these early days are fleeting. Capturing them at home adds warmth, intimacy, and authenticity to your memories. Every tiny hand, every little yawn, every sleepy cuddle tells a story of love and new beginnings, and I feel so lucky to be able to preserve that for your family.
