Doing you newborn photos at home has become a new trend for newborn photography and I am definitely HERE FOR IT.
Just a few years ago, all newborn portraits were done in studio and perfectly posed. Now, families can relax at home and be surrounded by all the snacks, toys, breaks, furry siblings they want.
Being able to include the fur babies in a newborn photoshoot is definitely one of the perks of lifestyle newborn photography, and especially for this couple as they had photos with their dogs for their engagement AND wedding photos displayed in their home. Recreating a similar pose and including their new baby boy was a must.
As a newborn photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida I get to meet so many amazing families who welcome me into their home to capture all the details of welcoming this new little life into their family.
I am currently booking Newborn Photography sessions into February 2023, so be sure to CLICK HERE to get my newborn portrait guide with all the information on how to book!
