This gorgeous family welcomed Nash this spring and we celebrated their new family member with a lifestyle newborn session in their home. Lifestyle sessions are completely different from a posed studio newborn session. Capturing a family in their home with their new baby is very special. Our lives and style change so much year to year, and to have a few photo’s showcasing your life and how is was at such a life changing moment it something to be treasured.
I know that my girls are surprised to look back at photos and see what our home looked like when they were brand new.
So here are a few of the photos from Nash’s newborn lifestyle session.
Nash’s session was fun and challenging at the same time. Going into a location without having seen it can be a little nerve-racking to a photographer. I had hoped to use natural light only and got lucky that their home had an abundance of windows in the room we planned to shoot the session in. Lucky for me we were able to mostly light them from the side to create some shadows and give their images some depth while still keeping them lighter over all. Each session brings new challenges and amazing discoveries, and helps to shape me as an artist.
It can be so hard to choose one image as a favorite from a session where so many photos turned out wonderful. I know I love the full family photo (top of blog) and the one with Nash and his mom, she was still glowing so soon after having him! Seriously she looks amazing!!!
Nash is so lucky to have such an amazing family. This wonderful little family is filled with love and it’s such a pleasure and joyous thing to have a job capturing all that love in a few frames.
Welcome to the world Nash!!!
