There’s something so special about capturing those first quiet days at home with a newborn—the snuggles, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, and the overwhelming love that fills every corner of the house. This in-home family and newborn session was a perfect reflection of that warmth, made even sweeter by the dreamy sky-blue nursery designed with a charming My Neighbor Totoro theme.
The session started with family photos by the nursery room, followed by the solo portraits of the baby peacefully sleeping in his bassinet. Wrapped in the coziest swaddle, he looked so sweet, his tiny chest rising and falling with each little breath. The nursery, with its whimsical My Neighbor Totoro details and calming blue hues, was the perfect backdrop.
Then came the snuggles—mom and dad taking turns holding their little one, soaking in every tiny movement and every sleepy stretch. These parent-and-baby moments always pull at the heartstrings, filled with so much tenderness and joy. Capturing those first interactions, the way mom gently held him close, the way dad whispered to him with the softest smile, was nothing short of magical.
Of course, we couldn’t forget the whole family—including their adorable puppy, who was already stepping into the role of protective big sibling! The family group portraits, with everyone gathered together, perfectly encapsulated the love and excitement of welcoming a new little one.
This in-home family and newborn session was all about celebrating the love, warmth, and joy that comes along with growing a family. These fleeting newborn days pass by so quickly, but through these images, this family will always have a way to hold onto them.
Love + Laughs,
Sarah
