Before I start an in-home newborn session, I always try to take a look around to get a feel for the space I’m photographing. Sometimes my clients are concerned that their house or apartment might be too small. Sometimes they’re concerned their home may not have enough light for great photos. I always tell clients not to worry! I always find a way to make the session memorable- even in the toughest of conditions.
This session for Valentina was so special. I met her parents a few weeks prior for their maternity session, and we hit it off right away. They are funny and warm, always cracking jokes and hugging each other! Valentina just stared at the camera and eventually passed out, probably from boredom, ha!
I really enjoyed documenting this day for Valentina and her parents. Though their house was very close quarters, we made it work by finding the perfect pockets of light and a great window. I always bring a piece of fur to keep handy to lay the baby on. When the baby’s face picks up the light while laying on the fur, the image is spectacular. The simplest little thing can make for such an adorable picture. An in-home newborn session makes for beautiful photos!
