Oh my goodness, I am thrilled to be sharing this beautiful Needham MA lifestyle newborn session with you today! It was incredibly special and I’m still in awe of this wonderful family. These dads reached out to me when they were waiting for their little guy to be born. I arrived at their home just a few days after he was born and back home in Massachusetts to document his first days at home. Despite the lack of sleep, these dads had a great time celebrating their baby boy!
Needham MA Lifestyle Newborn Session
Capturing these three in their son’s nursery was SO special. Honestly, I still can’t get over the incredible mural they had on the wall there! This little guy is definitely very loved – and very celebrated! While I always search for the spaces in your home with the best light for lifestyle portraits, I want to be sure we also capture you in the space meant for your baby. Nurseries take a lot of work and should be documented, too!
Lifestyle sessions, especially for newborns, take a few hours. We work around their feedings, any breaks they (or you!) need, and just try to keep the atmosphere relaxed. While I was talking with these new parents, I learned that one of them is from Germany! And he actually grew up just 30 minutes from where I went to college. What a small world!
Congratulations to this beautiful family. I hope you enjoy their Needham MA lifestyle newborn session as much as I did!
