Sacramento In Home Newborn Photography
Why should you do in-home newborn photography?
My favorite sessions are in your home. Especially when it comes to your newborn. Everyone is comfortable. This is really the main reason I love coming to you to photograph your new baby. Not to mention the fact that all of your personal belongings and everything that matters to you is there too. Your home is yours. There is no one else that lives exactly as you do. Let’s capture that. What makes you an individual is what I want to photograph.
I first met Queena and Tyler at their maternity session. They are a pair of doctors living in downtown Sacramento. We used one of their favorite parks for their maternity, and I wanted to do their newborn session in their home. This is their happy place. The space where they brought their baby home. The space he will grow up in. The physical walls around their hearts.
Making your newborn session personal
I show up and have no expectations for you or your baby. It is all about your lives together and if that means some chaos and a few piles of baby-supplies laying around, so be it. Believe me, my home was not catalog worthy when I brought my babies home. Sometimes life is messy, but I see your love. I see the most beautiful corners and pockets of light in your home. Let’s focus instead on the connection you have with your partner and your new babe. What matters is making your session personal. I love when my families trust me enough to come into their home, open door invitation, full of trust and peace in whatever I photograph they will love the images.
Congratulations to this beautiful family on their new addition. Your peaceful and loving home will be the place this little guy will always cherish. Thank you for having me photograph him.

Choosing a location for your maternity photos
The options are endless on locations for photos in the Sacramento area. How do you choose? I like to make a session as personal as possible, and if you are from out of the area or simply looking for someplace that shows the natural beauty of your home-town, I am happy to help! When Mita contacted me about maternity photos she wanted a location that had some romance and felt natural and wild. We choose one of my favorite fields in Folsom. The time of year allowed us some gorgeous green grass and a golden sunset. She loved her pregnancy and wanted to capture the way she felt during this time.
I have a whole bunch of fun ideas for the more adventurous maternity mamas, urban session ideas, natural locations, and intimate in-home sessions are also an option! When I said the options are endless they really are. I love assisting to help you brainstorm a place you can connect with. If you want to really love your final images you need to have the location be a place you feel comfortable.
Connection is most important
No matter the venue, what matters most is your connection with your baby and your partner. The images that resonate most with me and my families are those showing natural and authentic expressions and interactions. It is hard for me to explain how I shoot a session…it is less posing and more chatting. It is a lot of walking around and laughing and finding pockets of light. It is walking away probably feeling like we didn’t really get anything good 😉 then seeing magic in your final gallery. The experience is important. Your connection to your family and my connection to you both matter. I’m here to work with you on finding that perfect place where we can get lost in your moments.
