Reasons I Love Siblings in Newborn Sessions 💕 I

Reasons I Love Siblings in Newborn Sessions 💕
Including siblings in newborn sessions makes them even more magical! Here are a few reasons why I absolutely adore capturing these sweet moments:

✨ 1. The Connection
There’s something so pure about the bond between siblings—whether it’s a tiny kiss, a protective cuddle, or just a big sibling holding their baby brother or sister for the first time. These moments are priceless!

✨ 2. Big Sibling Pride
You can see it in their eyes—the pride of being a big brother or sister. Whether they’re showing off their new sibling or simply sitting close, their excitement adds so much warmth to the session.

✨ 3. Personality Shines Through
Big siblings bring energy, smiles, and sometimes even silly moments! They remind us how special and fun family dynamics can be.

✨ 4. Memories to Cherish Forever
These photos are more than just pictures—they’re a legacy of love. One day, they’ll look back at these moments and see how it all started.

✨ 5. It’s All About Love
Siblings make the family bond even stronger. Including them in a newborn session celebrates that connection beautifully.

📸 Some of my favorite photos feature siblings interacting with their new baby in the sweetest ways. It’s such an honor to capture these milestones for families! “Thinking about booking a newborn session? Don’t forget to include the big siblings for memories your whole family will cherish forever.

❄️ And that's a wrap on outdoor sessions for the year! ❄️

It’s officially too cold for me (and let’s be honest, the kids too)! 🥶 As much as I love capturing these gorgeous outdoor moments like this one—full of sibling love, cozy sweaters, and those incredible fall tones—the freezing weather means smiles start to fade and fingers go numb! (Even with hand warmers and blankets!)

So, we’re heading inside where it’s warm, cozy, and stress-free. Studio sessions are perfect for winter—no weather worries and just as much fun! Whether you're planning newborn, milestone, or maternity photos, we’ll keep the vibes joyful and comfortable. 💕

Thank you to all the wonderful families who braved the chill with me this season—you made it all worth it. 🧡 Until spring outdoor sessions return, I'll be snuggling up in the studio! 📸

This little one has the right idea—smiling our way through Thanksgiving! 🦃✨ I'm so grateful for the joy, families, and sweet little smiles like this one that fill my studio year-round. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and a full plate. 💛🍂

Speaking of plates, let’s settle a holiday debate: Cranberry jelly—yay or nay?
👉 Do you serve it?
👉 Homemade, canned, or team no cranberry sauce?
👉 If canned, are you all about the smooth jelly or the chunky version?

Vote in the poll or drop your cranberry thoughts below! 🥣🍽️

Life with a newborn can be beautifully chaotic, and sometimes booking a session isn’t top of mind. That’s okay! I love squeezing in last-minute newborn sessions because I know how fleeting these precious first days are.

📷 Why I’m Happy to Fit You In:

Those squishy cheeks and tiny toes don’t stay little for long! Capturing those early days is priceless.
I’m a pro at making it work! My studio is always prepped with cozy setups and adorable props for every baby.
It’s my joy to freeze these magical moments, even on short notice.
💡 Pro Tip: Babies are typically easiest to pose between 5-14 days old, but it’s never too late to book. If you’re thinking, “Did I miss my chance?”—the answer is no! Let’s make it happen.

DM me to check availability! 💌 I’d love to capture your little one’s first chapter. 🍼💖

🎄 Newborn Holiday Magic in the Studio! 🎅

✨ Today, I tested out my holiday setup for the second time, and wow, it keeps delivering all the cozy, festive vibes! 🎁 From the twinkling lights to the timeless greenery, it was the perfect treat for this sweet newborn session. 🍼❄️

Last week, my nephew was the first to try it out (he nailed it, of course!), and now I’m seriously torn: Should I use this setup for 2024, save it for 2025... or add a handful of holiday sessions in early December this year? 🤔 Decisions, decisions!

What do you think—would YOU love to see this in my next holiday lineup? Drop a 🎄 if you’re feeling festive already!

Sometimes the weather keeps us on our toes! 🌧️ It was a beautifully moody, overcast day during this session, and the skies held just long enough for us to create these moments. 💛 As soon as we wrapped up, the rain came pouring down—but not before we shared so much laughter together!

This family brought the warmth, love, and energy that brightened up even the cloudiest sky. It’s a reminder that the best sessions are about connection, no matter the weather.

🎄✨ Today was our trial run for the holiday toddler sessions, and I couldn’t resist sharing a sneak peek of the Christmas tree setup! 🌟 My adorable nephew was the star model for this test, and let me just say—he absolutely nailed it. 🥰

While I might make a few tweaks to the background, I’d love to hear your thoughts—do you think it’s magical enough for those sweet holiday memories?

Your input means the world to me as I fine-tune the details to make these sessions perfect. Let me know what you think in the comments!
