This is a little different from my usual newborn sessions as I was able to photograph Heather and Noah in their home as they enjoyed their first few days together as mama and baby.

Heather’s home is absolutely gorgeous – giant windows with beautiful natural light. And how precious and perfect is her new little guy?

After a little snack, we moved into Heather’s guest bedroom with even more natural light and calming decor. Since Noah was born in England yet heading back to the States soon with his mama, we thought it would be fun to use this beautiful Union Jack quilt. Judging by his sleepy little grin, he seemed to think it was a great idea!

Lifestyle shoots are a great option for moms who may be having a difficult recovery and they really showcase that special bond between mom and baby. And there’s no need to stress about having a perfectly organized home! There are lots of easy tricks we can employ to highlight the most important aspect of the session – the incredible little life you’ve just created! These detail shots of little Noah are a perfect example of that; set in front of a window, you would never know these images weren’t created in a studio with a fancy set up. Plus, mama gets extra cuddle time which is never a bad thing.

You’ll remember from Heather’s maternity shoot that we incorporated this special book, “I Love You Forever.” What a gift that she is finally able to read it in person with her little bundle of joy. Such sweet moments between these two; already creating special family memories.

Noah was such an easy going and cooperative baby that we decided to do some more formal poses with him. Again, these were shot in Heather’s house and I couldn’t be happier with the results. What a handsome little man!

Noah, you are so very loved and it’s easy to see why. I am so thankful to have met you and am sure you will grow to be an amazing man after meeting your incredible mama. How exciting that you are finally here!
