Gorgeous In-home Newborn Photography Session in Winchester Virginia

This Gorgeous Northern Virginia in-home newborn photography session is one of my recent favorites! Sweet Rhys was amazing during his session. If you are an expecting mother, you are likely preparing everything for your arrival of your sweet baby including the nursery. Nurseries don’t stay nurseries for very long so making sure I capture details in there is always something I like to capture.

Offering in-home newborn photography services in and around Northern Virginia, I believe that this is where you and your newborn will be most relaxed. While being able to include a setting that is uniquely yours it also allows me to include family pets as well. Franklin did not disappointment. He was curious to see what I was up to. I’m pretty sure we’re friends now. Making sure I offer an experience that’s enjoyable for everyone involved is my main goal.

The baby will typically determine the flow of the session. If baby is hungry when I arrive, then I will start with some feeding and changing shots. If baby is sleeping soundly (kudos to you!) then I’ll start with some simple posed shots of your sweet newborn.  Typically in the master bedroom, but I make use to any room that has great lighting. There is no set schedule or plan; as a parent myself, I’ve learned to adapt.

Although this is newborn session, I do offer gentle guidance for posing to get the ball rolling and help clients settle in. I also try and naturally pose baby for those sweet detail shots.

Keep in mind that I'm documenting a day in your life, so keep it real by wearing what you’re most comfortable in and by being yourself.  I encourage neutral colors, steering away from t-shirts with logos or bold patterns.  Casual clothing is perfect and bare feet look most natural in a home setting.  Moms, consider a light flowy shirt, maxi dress or a pretty cotton gown that will be both comfortable and soft while you are cuddling with your new baby. I love Alex’s dress that she wore, very flattering and really made the gallery come together.

Miller was born a week early from his due date, and a day after my birthday. So to say that this boy is special, well I don’t want to be bias but its so special to share an almost same birthday with this sweet boy. During Millers session I captured a mix of candid and simple poses, really focusing on him and his sweet parents. It was a treat that we got to have the grandparents involved as well!

My approach to newborn photography is completely baby-led. This means that I let the baby guide the session. I always get the question, how long is a newborn session. Although there are some photographers that do put a time limit during their session, but for me I’m more creative and the whole family is more relaxed when we don’t have to think about time and just focus on the time capturing beautiful portraits.

I believe newborns are most comfortable in the comfort of their own home, you have everything you need to keep them happy. Doing them in-home also allows the session to be completely unique and one of a kind.
