Later Newborn Sessions

One of the biggest stressors I get from parents wanting a newborn session is that they worry they won’t be ready in the first 2 weeks after baby is born. Sometimes moms needs a bit more time healing, or sometimes babies needs a little more time adjusting. Sometimes, lifestyle newborn sessions happen when babies are 8 weeks old! And that is okay.

A few months after this couples radiant winter maternity session, we did an in-home lifestyle newborn session when baby was almost 2 months old. They might just be the cutest stretcher and yawner! And those new smiles, oh my goodness. Melt!

Take a scroll down to see some favourites from our session! And when you’re ready to book yours, come say hi!

Meet Leland

I love the energy in the home when a new baby arrives. Everyone is fully present and in awe of their tiny addition. There’s this feeling of stillness and reflection. As though nostalgia and present time have come together. It’s pretty magical.

Meet Leland. I documented his sister Juniper’s birth a few years ago, but due to covid restriction I was unable to attend his. So after they got home from the hospital I headed over there when he was 8 days new for a Meet the Baby session! His tiny toes and his incredible eye contact made me melt.

I absolutely adore this family. I have been lucky enough to photograph them many times. Juniper played the role of big sister really well. Comforting Leland, reading to him, kissing him. The way he looks at her and sleeps soundly in her arms. So cute! And the sweet connection between Juniper and her pup was a beautiful thing to see. All in all, hanging out with them and documenting their afternoon as they began their new chapter was such an honour.

Newborn Sessions with a Cherry on Top

Newborns are magic. They are so tiny, the littlest they’ll ever be. And sadly this phase is so quick. A few blinks and your new baby changes. You’ll want to capture this very precious time for sure! I know for some people it can feel like a lot of effort to deal with a newborn session so close to giving birth. But the good news is, I’m going to make this very easy on you. Remember, I am a birth photographer and a mother of 2. I know exactly what it’s like to be postpartum. I can come to you for a newborn family lifestyle session this way you are in the comfort of your own home. We don’t need a lot of space. We just need a bit of light and all that sweet love that a newborn brings to the family. In-home family newborn sessions are more personalized and unique because the backdrop is your living space.

In-Home Newborn Sessions

However!

You may want those studio shots of your newborn dressed in cute hats and placed in tiny buckets and beds and posed in adorable ways. You can have it all! You can always add a Posed Newborn Mini Session, and I will bring the studio, the blankets, swaddles, props and accessories to your home. And then we’ll add about 30 minutes to the session to create these adorable pictures that will melt your heart. You also get an additional 10 images in your gallery.

Remember! Everyday your new baby gets a little bigger and a little stronger. These sessions are definitely time sensitive, so do not miss your one and only opportunity to capture your baby at their tiniest! And if you want two cherries on top, you can also add a sweet personalized film!
