Welcome, Henry! // In-Home Newborn Session

There is something so special about photographing a newborn in the family's home. While it doesn't work for some people - and that's okay - I love it because I think it helps the whole family feel relaxed, especially if the older siblings are still young children themselves. But it's also a big deal to invite a photographer into your home soon after having a new baby so I don't take that honor lightly!

I love getting to work with repeat clients and seeing how excited the older children are! The oldest child met me at the door with a photo she had drawn for me :) It's the sweetest thing in the world!

There were a couple of speed-bumps in getting this session done but we made it happen and it went so well. People sometimes get concerned when they see that newborn sessions are two hours but I always say that newborns need lots of wiggle time. Henry certainly did.

Little man was awake for his entire session and fell asleep right as I was packing up to leave. (Of course I had to grab a few quick sleeping shots). He is also a hungry guy so we took frequent snack breaks  and used up the whole two hours!

Big sisters did such a good job, both in the photos and entertaining themselves when they weren't in the photos. Even dad behaved himself (mostly ;) Welcome to the world, Henry! You are so loved!
