Capturing Precious Moments: In-Home Newborn Sessions

Most of my newborn sessions take place in my studio in Huntingdon Valley, PA, but I absolutely love traveling to homes for in-home newborn sessions as well. These sessions provide a unique and intimate way to capture the early days of a baby’s life, right in the comfort of their home.

The approach to in-home newborn sessions is a little different than those in the studio. I typically photograph in the nursery, making use of all the tiny and special details that were carefully selected to welcome the baby home. These sessions are more relaxed, with minimal equipment so as not to take over your space. I usually bring one prop, a soft blanket, a few swaddles and headbands if needed.

One of my favorite aspects of in-home sessions is working with the natural light that filters through your home. I look for textures, warm spaces, and areas that create a beautiful, cozy atmosphere. The result is a collection of images that feel personal and heartfelt, truly reflecting your family’s love and connection.

This particular session was extra special. This beautiful family has been with me for years, and I have loved capturing so many milestones in their lives. I still remember their wedding—beaming with classic black, white, and pink tones. It was no surprise that their nursery perfectly matched their elegant and timeless style.

Welcoming a baby is one of the most incredible moments in life, and capturing those first few weeks in a meaningful way is something I am always honored to do. Whether in my studio or the warmth of your own home, these sessions are about preserving the beauty of new life and the love that surrounds it.
