In home newborn session {Charlotte NC Fort Mill newborn photographer}

I loved meeting and photographing this special family.  I'm beyond blessed to have so many clients that trust me to come into their home to capture their lives during milestone events or even just life as it is at the time because when kiddos are little, they just don't keep.  I really feel the most in my wheelhouse when those families are comfortable being themselves and I can truly just capture the moments as they unfold.  I think it's natural for most people to feel that the best photos will be at a gorgeous location full of tall grass and pretty trees (and I don't totally disagree because god knows I love sun!), but some of my favorite ever sessions take place in clients homes, so I encourage you all to consider an in-home session when thinking about locations for your next family photos...

I can't lie, I get major house envy visiting all of the gorgeous homes of my clients.  Add in a beautiful family with a perfect new baby and I'm in heaven.  I can't wait to see how this sweet little one has grown for her 6 month photos next week!

I truly am honored to get to meet so many sweet little babies in the simply baby studio.  Just look at her head of hair!  Little A was such a pleasure and I can't wait to see her again soon for her 6 month pics!

So here's a little secret for you;)  I didn't always love photographing newborns.  Seriously.  Sessions always lasted what felt like forever and a day, and keeping up with all of the props was a chore in itself.  And to top it off, the images didn't always feel like "me" or suit my style.  I came close to throwing in the towel on newborn sessions, until I decided to take charge of the situation.  I ditched most of the props, built an amazing studio behind my house and changed the way I photographed newborns.  Don't get me wrong, there are some amazing photographers out there that do gorgeous work with colors, props and seriously difficult posing.  For me though, keeping it natural speaks to my inner core, makes me proud of what I do, and fuels my (now) burning passion for photographing these little loves.  THIS is what I would want hang on the walls in my home.  THIS is why I feel so proud and lucky to do what I do.  

I do still offer on location newborn sessions, and YES, I do love this lifestyle, documentary photography as well.  These are still some of my favorite images- you just won't see me lugging in a trunk full of stuff to capture them.  Just me, my camera and a smile on my face;)
