One of the biggest worries parents have before an in-home newborn session is whether their house is “photo-ready.”

Here’s the truth: it doesn’t need to be 🤍

During an in-home newborn session, we use just a few light-filled spots—your bed, the nursery, a cozy corner of the living room, a window with beautiful natural light. Real spaces where life is actually happening right now.

No perfect décor.
No spotless counters.
No pressure to make your home look like a magazine.

These photos are about connection, comfort, and documenting this fleeting season exactly as it is. The places where you’re feeding your baby at 3am, rocking them to sleep, and slowly finding your rhythm together.

Your home already tells your family’s story. I’m just there to help you remember it.
