Lifestyle Home Newborn Photo Session, Welcome Baby Hunter!

Celebrating the birth of a new baby is a touching and once in a lifetime moment that I love documenting! This adorable family celebrated the birth of baby Hunter and I am so honored to have been able to capture it. I absolutely love doing newborn photo shoots.

Location:
Carlsbad, California, at the family home. The very easiest and most natural place to shoot a newborn photo session!

Vision or Style:
In this newborn photo shoot, we wanted to utilize the beautiful nursery Mom and Dad had decorated for baby Hunter. I loved the color and all of the adorable little accessories and toys they had for their new baby and I love including them in our photos.

Favorite Moment:
My favorite moment was definitely when big sister reached her hand into the crib and held her new baby brother’s hand for just a moment. It was so sweet and in that flash of the second I think we all saw the sweetness of it.

Favorite Photo:
So hard to decide on a favorite photo, definitely the ones in the nursery were my top favorites! Here is the selection of what I loved best. Leave me a comment and let me know what you like!

There’s something so powerful about the way a mother holds her newborn—gentle, protective, completely in sync.⁣
⁣
In those first few weeks, everything feels new, yet somehow like it was always meant to be. These are the moments you’ll want to remember—the way they fit in your arms, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the quiet connection that needs no words.⁣
⁣
Let’s create images that hold onto this time forever.⁣

Oh my… you still sleep like that.” The way your baby tucks their hands under their cheek or stretches one tiny foot just so—it’s all them. And that’s exactly what we’ll capture. 💫

✨ One moment, they’re little, holding your hand. The next, they’re off chasing their own dreams. Let’s capture this season before it’s just a memory.⁣

The tiniest yawn, the biggest feeling!⁣ Happy Easter weekend, wishing you all lots of fun and sunshine wherever you are!
⁣
There’s something about a newborn’s yawn that makes time stand still. Maybe it’s because you know these sleepy, snuggly days won’t last forever. But for now, they’re here—and they’re everything.

There’s something magical about the way newborns settle into sleep. Each baby has their own way of curling up or stretching out, and I love capturing those little details that make them them. 💛
