Newborn Home Lifestyle Session | Seattle Family Photographer

seattle newborn home session

Newborn sessions make my heart so very happy. The pace of them is quite a bit slower than other sessions - we’re at the whim of a new baby and the feeling of a rushed schedule can completely slip away. It’s easy to connect with the parents because they’re in the middle of such a wild and special time. Often exhausted, but hearts unimaginable full.

The whole “photographing a happy baby” part can be a challenge, but over the years I’ve picked up some helpful tricks for calming newborns down. Scroll below for some precious newborn and family photos, and bonus points if you spot my favorite moment - when big sister paused the photoshoot to go get a nectarine to pose with.

Rainy Seattle Session at Gasworks Park

It started pouring about 5 minutes before this session started. And do you want to know the coolest part? These two didn't even notice. Two-year-old Rhys put on his rain boots and every rain puddle he walked past was better than the last. We had the park to ourselves and spent most of the photoshoot chasing geese, throwing leaves, jumping in puddles, and soaking up the incredibly beautiful bond that this Mother and son have for one another. Rain or shine, I'm so thankful for sessions like this one.
