A newborn photo shoot in your own home can be a beautiful way to memorialize your first days at home with your precious new baby, celebrate the new chapter in your life, and create special memories as a family. How can you make this photo shoot go smoothly for a stress-free day?

It starts with hiring the right photographer, of course. As a Seattle area photographer who specializes in newborn photography and the motherhood journey, I’ve done countless newborn photo shoots in clients’ homes, so I know exactly how to make the experience a wonderful one and I’ll guide you through every step of the way.

I love newborn photography for several reasons, but the fact that I get to spend the day with an adorable little baby might be the biggest one. So when I get the opportunity to take newborn photos for twins, it’s double the cuteness and double the joy! Ever wondered what goes into a twin newborn photo session and how it’s different from a newborn session with one baby? Here’s a peek

There are two reasons why, in every newborn photo session, my goal is to get the baby to sleep for most of the session.

The first reason is the portraits. We all love those precious sleeping baby portraits! These newborn photos capture just how tiny and new your little one is, and for most parents, those sleepy photos are the dream.
