Chicago At Home Newborn Photographer | A Documentary Session

Welcoming a new baby is a whirlwind. You are likely dealing with sleepless nights and tiny miracles. As a Chicago at home newborn photographer, I believe the best way to document this season is in your own space. Specifically, I love capturing families where they feel most comfortable.

The Beauty of an At-Home Session

A lifestyle session is very different from a studio visit. First, we move at a relaxed and unhurried pace. We do not worry about perfect poses. Instead, we focus on real connection. For example, I look for the way your baby curls into your chest. Similarly, I love to capture how your family dog sniffs the newest member of the pack. These are the moments you will want to remember forever.

For this family specifically, it was the second time we worked together. We shot their maternity session earlier this year. I knew their at home newborn session would be effortless and as beautiful as their maternity session.

Why Choose a Chicago At Home Newborn Photographer?

Living in Chicago means our homes are our sanctuaries. During this documentary session, we used the natural light in the nursery. We also utilized the comfort of the beautiful nursery the parents built for their newborn baby boy.

There are many benefits to staying home. For instance, you don’t have to pack a heavy diaper bag. You also don’t have to travel across the city with a one-week-old. Consequently, you can stay in your pajamas and just relax. This allows the session to unfold naturally.

Documenting the Little Details

Every detail tells a story. We photographed the Grateful Dead posters on the wall. We also captured those tiny toes in a swaddle. My goal is to give you a gallery that feels like a warm hug. In short, it should be a true reflection of your family’s personality.
