Lifestyle sessions hold such a special place in my heart—there’s something truly magical about capturing families in their element. I love providing images that showcase the heart of their home, a place they’ve worked so hard to create. It’s not just about the pictures, but about preserving the memories of the everyday moments that make a house feel like home.


This was especially true for this sweet family who only had a few months left in their home that was filled with warmth, love, and so many beautiful memories, and it was an honor to capture them in this space before they moved to a new chapter of their lives.


As a photographer, it’s these moments —the ones where families are just being themselves, in the places they feel most comfortable— are the ones that I hold dear. These are the photos that tell the story of their lives, full of love and connection.


Lifestyle newborn sessions allow me to document not only the tiny details of your newborn but also the beautiful, everyday atmosphere that surrounds them. From snuggling on the couch to cozy nursery details, these photos tell a complete story. They’re about more than just a few posed pictures—they capture the emotions, the setting, and the little things that make this time in your life so special.


If you’re interested in scheduling an in-home newborn or family photography session, I’d love to help you preserve this chapter of your life. Click here to learn more about how we can create beautiful, timeless memories together.
