5 Images you'll want to have from your Baby's Newborn Photo Session | DC Newborn Photography
Hello hello I’m back on the blog today with a new post! I love being able to look back at past sessions and find a way to show the images by sharing helpful things related to family and newborn photography.
Today’s post talks all about in home newborn photography. Most of the time newborn sessions take the place in the family’s home within the Washington, DC area including Maryland and Northern Virginia.
Most families are still getting situated with routines and feedings and it’s way easier to have the photographer come to the home than to leave your home to meet the photographer.

Since my newborn sessions are lifestyle and baby led, it’s just another reason to stay put at home and not stress out to have to pack everything and get in the car and drive.
I’ve put together this blog post to share 5 images you’ll want from your baby’s newborn session.
your baby wearing just a diaper
It can be hard to tell from images but when you hold your baby you realize how TEENY TINY they are. I love photographing hands and cuddles especially when the baby is wearing just a diaper.
2. documenting a feeding
Newborn babies tend to eat what feels like 15 or 20 times a day. More often than not, the baby will get hungry at one point or another during the newborn session. I like to document what the feeding looks like for your family - bottles, boobs, bibs, burps and all!
3. face to face interaction
Sometimes I get to photograph newborns that are a bit older than a “traditional” newborn age. A benefit of photographing a newborn when they’re closer to the 3-4 week age is they are awake more often and they’ll be able to focus on your face!
4. the nursery
Mama was so proud of the nursery, and understandably so, it’s so beautiful! We took a variety of images near the window with more contrasted light along with pull back compositional shots to document the entire nursery.
All of the elements, details, art, and love that goes into the nursery is so special to each family!
5. meaningful items
Little guy got a bit sleepy so we took several images with him with some family handmade wooden trains. How beautiful are these!
The family is also a big Michigan fan and we got some photos of the adorable matching attire!
