Baby Fiona Lifestyle Newborn Session
/
Welcoming a newborn into your family is a beautiful, emotional time. As a newborn and family photographer, I love when I have the opportunity to document these early days as everyone in the family gets to know its newest member. That’s why it was such a real pleasure to meet up with Molly, Sean and Fiona to welcome baby Fiona with a newborn lifestyle photography session in their home.
Welcome Baby Fiona
Welcoming a new baby sister can sometimes be daunting for older siblings, but not for Kiera! Kiera is SO excited about being a big sister. She was so happy every time Fiona did something cute… or silly… or anything really! Kiera would break out into giggles, which was super cute. Photographing a newborn lifestyle shoot in a family’s home means that we can include all members of the family. So, for this session, they included their dog, Scrappy-doo in the photoshoot. Scrappy-doo is a super excited Great Dane, but he was also so sweet and so gentle with little, tiny Fiona.
In-Home Newborn Lifestyle Photography
Part of why I love in-home newborn sessions is that everyone can be more relaxed and comfortable. Plus, I get a chance to see the beautiful nurseries! I loved the custom-made Fiona decal that Molly had ordered from Etsy! It was so elegant against the rich navy blue of the walls.
While Molly and Sean opted for an in-home session, we did an add-on to their newborn session with the white studio images. I was able to recreate the studio backdrop and lighting in their home, since they live so far away from the Indy Family Photo Studio. This gave us the perfect way to capture every aspect of the newborn phase, combining candid lifestyle images with gently posed studio newborn photographs. Fiona only slept for a few wrapped photos, and then started giving us some wide-awake photos, which meant we could see her gorgeous eyes! She was such an inquisitive baby. Even though Fiona is tiny, she is already rocking an incredible amount of hair!
Molly and Sean opted for a beautiful photo album with a rich navy colored leather. It will look gorgeous with Fiona’s nursery décor! Everyone in the family will be able to enjoy these photos for years to come. I can already picture the two sisters sitting together and looking through it!
Molly and Sean, thank you for inviting me into your home to document these precious moments with your family. I am so happy I got to meet your beautiful girls.
