A newborn session should be a special experience for the whole family. If this is not your first baby and you have other little ones excited to welcome their new baby brother or sister, one of my favorite ways to capture this stage is through a newborn session with siblings at home.
At home newborn sessions are designed to be relaxed, comfortable, and beautiful. They’re perfect for including every member of the family and are a dream come true for mamas who want to capture these memories in a cozy, family-centered way in the heart of their own home.
Sample Gallery of a Newborn Session with Siblings at Home
Typically, during a newborn session with siblings at home, you can expect to get these kinds of images:
Sibling and Newborn Portraits
There is nothing sweeter than to see your little ones loving on their new baby sibling. I often try to get these images fairly early in the process, so kiddos have a chance to feel special and show off “their” baby.
Family Portraits Posed
Classic family shots like these are so pretty!
Family Portraits Candid
One of the best things about an at home session is that it makes it easy to feel relaxed and natural—which means beautiful candid portraits.
Group Portraits
Mom with all her children gathered around her, or Daddy snuggling with his girls…Smaller group portraits like these are always a highlight.
Mom and Dad with Baby Photographs
We’ll take some time to photograph both of you together with your little one, as well as creating one-on-one portraits of each of you with your newborn. That parent-child bond is so precious!
Newborn Portraits
And of course, no newborn session would be complete without individual portraits of the new arrival! We’ll make sure there’s plenty of time to document every sweet detail, from big yawns to tiny toes.
Things to Consider for Your Newborn Session with Siblings at Home
An at home session can be the perfect option for including every member of the family in this special experience. Little ones are often more comfortable in their own space, and what better place to capture these precious memories than at home?
No matter where you choose to hold your session, all of the studio amenities are at your disposal. Our talented hair and makeup team can come to you to help you get ready, and you are welcome to choose from any of the gowns and outfits from my client closet. I’m also happy to help you figure out outfit choices of your own for the whole family.
As far as newborn outfits, I’ll bring everything we need, including wraps, swaddles, headbands and all the other pretty touches that add so much to your images. This is a luxury experience designed for you, and I will take care of everything, down to the last detail.
My goal for every session is to create custom artwork that you can cherish and pass down to your little ones as they grow. Once I’ve edited your gallery, we’ll meet for your design appointment, where you’ll choose your favorite images to transform into treasured keepsakes like framed prints, canvases, and albums.
For more information and details, please see my newborn photography page. And of course, if you have any other questions or are ready to book your session, I would love to chat with you. Please be in touch anytime. I can’t wait for your session!
Lots of Love,
Shannon
