Lifestyle newborn sessions with older children are the most fun to photograph! The older siblings are usually very excited to welcome their new baby brother or sister into the home and I aim to capture their pure joy!
Photographing newborns and their families in the home is the most comfortable location for the children because it is familiar and they are typically less timid about getting their photos done. I usually start with posed shots so everyone can get comfortable and let’s be real here, everyone usually wants at least one photo with everyone looking and smiling at the camera so it’s perfect :-) I then work in some joyful, spontaneous and natural type shots, which are my favorites because I truly love freezing those genuine moments in time and creating memories for them to cherish <3
I had the privilege of capturing the newborn session for this beautiful family of five. The older sisters were just enamored by their new baby sister, Eleanor. They loved getting to take pictures holding her and had such a sweet time together. We captured photos in a few different places around the home and also in the yard. We did some of my favorite types of newborn shots and also incorporated a few fun props like the gorgeous award winning Design Dua Bassinet, a banner, cute hats and headbands & let’s not forget the family dog too!
Check out some of my favorites from the session below:
