In-Home Newborn Session with the Hornbuckle Family

When you’re a mama in that post-pardum phase, chances are you’re not going to want to leave the house very often. Especially if you already have an older child. That just sounds like a lot of really tough work, even if it’s all for the sake of photos. So if you are looking to have some precious photographs of your new addition and family together – from the comfort of your own home – I’d love to come to you for an in-home newborn session! It’s actually the only way I offer newborn sessions, as I fully believe that not only will being in your own home environment help keep the stress down, but it will be a more accurate representation of your story and life together.

This family I’m sharing today just melts my freakin’ heart. I first met Jes and Brian when they were engaged and have now photographed their engagement, wedding, the birth of their first child, several family sessions, and most recently an in-home newborn session of their latest addition, a sweet baby girl! <3 Let me tell you, guys, it is SUCH an honor to be invited to provide you these images of you and your family. Like literally, goosebumps feels for how much I love continuing documenting your story through visual memories as the years go on. To all my return clients (or as many of you say “clients for life”), thank you, thank you, thank you!!

In-Home Newborn Session with the Rodak-Scogin Family

I had the honor of photographing Mallory and Mike’s intimate City Hall wedding and celebration, and was over-the-moon excited when they called me back to photograph their new family of three before they left on their next adventure: a family move back to Mallory’s home state of Alabama. Their love for another and easy-going personalities, combined with beautiful natural light and simple, neutral tones, made me fall in love with in-home newborn sessions all over again. Needless to say, these images are some of my absolute favorite from the 2019 year!

In-home Newborn Session with the Finnegan Family | Buffalo Newborn Photographer

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Mallory a little bit over the last few years when she was a bridesmaid in several weddings I photographed for two of her closest friends. When I got the inquiry to photograph her and her hubby’s newest family addition, a sweet baby boy, I was over-the-moon excited!

I put newborn sessions on hold the last few years because I really wanted to focus more on the documentary photography side of my business – services I am able to provide with my birth stories and real life family sessions. Photographing the candid, natural moments that occur between loved ones without any direction from behind the camera is my deepest passion. However, when I had my own son back in May, I realized how important it is to have photographs that are also lightly posed in nature, too. The years (especially with little ones) go by so quickly, and it’s so easy to get wrapped up in the day-to-day and forget to carve out time for preserving life as it was like in the present moment. For the Finnegan family, their in-home newborn session was focused on preserving these early moments spent together at home with their fresh baby in their arms and their fur baby loving on their sweet newborn. I documented the tiny toes and baby yawns, all the hard work that went into creating the most perfect nursery, and they posed for some first family portraits together. Next year, their lives and the atmosphere of their home are going to look so different, and it brings me so much joy to be able to provide these images that preserve the moments of today.

My heart fills with joy anytime I am invited to be a part in capturing a special story for a couple or family. I am excited to again be offering in-home newborn sessions like this one, along with continued photography services around families, including Maternity Sessions, Birth Stories, First Hours (Fresh 48) Sessions, Real Life Family Sessions, and Traditional Family Portraits. I am currently booking spring and summer sessions, so if preserving family memories is a priority for you this year, I’d LOVE to hear from you and discuss your upcoming photography needs!
