Why in-home photos tell your family’s story authentically

Choosing a Little Rock newborn photographer to preserve your baby’s first few weeks is an important decision! You want to pick someone you resonate with and can tell your family’s story with joy and honesty and you want an environment you feel comfortable in. With the rise of popularity of studio sessions, I’m here to encourage you to consider your home instead! While your initial thought may be that it’s too much work, I’d like to share four reasons in-home newborn photos allow for more intentional and authentic photos.

1. Capture authentic memories
   • Your home is your natural environment. Doing the session in a location you are already comfortable in means you already start your photos relaxed. My approach is to show your family’s love and connection as honestly as I can. A familiar environment allows your true personalities to shine through.
2. The heart of your family
   • The nursery where you brought your baby, the floor near the window where you wait for dad to come home from work, the couch that everyone snuggles up in at the end of a long day. Those are the things you want to remember about this season of life. You don’t want your photos to look like everyone else’s. You want your memories to reflect your family’s love in your most cherished spaces.
3. A calmer, flexible experience for new parents
   • Babies need a lot of things! Having your newborn photos doing in your own home means you don’t need to pack a diaper back and rush out the door while you’re still physically recovering. As my newborn photos are child-led, we stop whenever baby needs to feed or soothe. You will have everything you need within arm’s reach, giving you peace of mind that our your in-home newborn session will be relaxed no matter what.
4. A reflection of everyday joy
   • It is my greatest privilege to document your growing family and focus on the small and irreplaceable details of your fresh new baby. Taking photos in your home allows for intimate, everyday interaction that are not replicated in a studio. Putting your baby down in their crib, having your pup peeking into the bassinet, laying down to gaze at your baby on your bed are all natural moments that will tell the story of your early days of parenthood.

A peaceful, in-home newborn session are an opportunity to capture intimate and everyday moments. We will preserve all the small details lovingly and authentically, in the comfort of your own home.
