Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of life’s most precious moments, and documenting those first weeks is a gift that keeps on giving. Last February, I had the pleasure of photographing Charlotte’s newborn session in the comfort of her sweet nursery in Nashville. This session was all about warmth, love, and the special bond between parents and their little ones.
Charlotte’s session took place in her beautifully decorated nursery, which featured soft floral pink wallpaper and cozy, warm tones that made the space feel so inviting. In-home newborn sessions offer a unique opportunity to preserve memories in a space that’s meaningful to you. Charlotte’s nursery wasn’t just a backdrop—it is a place she’ll grow up in and make memories.
If you’re considering an in-home session, the lighting in your home is an important factor. Natural light plays a big role in creating those dreamy, soft images, so we’ll work together to find the best spots in your home. And if natural light is limited, don’t worry—my cozy studio in Franklin, Tennessee, is always an option, offering a warm and comfortable setting for your family.
Charlotte’s mom chose a stunning cream maxi dress for the session, which added a soft, elegant touch to the photos. Dad and big sister joined in, making this a true family affair. Some of my favorite moments were the ones that highlighted the special relationships in this family: mama cradling her two sweet girls, and dad beaming with pride as he held his daughters close. These are the moments that tell your story, and they’re the ones you’ll treasure forever.
A newborn session is more than just photos—it’s a way to freeze time and hold onto the fleeting details of your baby’s first days. Whether you choose your nursery or my studio, I ensure a relaxed and accommodating experience. We take breaks whenever needed to keep everyone comfortable, especially your little ones.
Don’t let this special time pass by without documenting it. My calendar fills quickly, so I encourage you to book your newborn session today to ensure your spot on my calendar. Whether it’s the warmth of your home or the cozy charm of my studio, I’m here to create timeless images you’ll cherish forever.
With newborn sessions – I’ll hold your spot on my calendar by using your estimated due date. Once your little one has officially arrived, we will work together to pick the best date & time for your newborn session.
This allows for flexibility based on if your baby arrives earlier or later than estimated AND allows for us to take your recovery from labour into account when scheduling!
