Sometimes new baby brothers are cool and sometimes they just steal all your blankets, toys, clothes, and attention. I can only imagine how hard it would be for a toddler to adjust to such a huge change. And often times, newborn photo sessions are the worst time to come to this realization. So if older siblings are not cooperative, it's ok! And it's normal! We may not get the exact photo you had dreamed about and envisioned in your mind, but I promise we will still get a few of them together. Lifestyle newborn sessions capture the raw beauty of life, and even if it's not perfect... it's still beautiful.

Jocelyn | Newborn

I love doing newborn sessions in my natural light studio. It's actually a sunroom that I converted into a studio, so it still has that bright, natural look, but is staged with a white couch, white mid-century modern chair, white-washed wood floors, a white brick wall and 3 walls of windows with white curtains. Can you tell I love white? (I suppose the name White Elm Photography is a hint.) Anyway.... sweet baby Jocelyn was a dream! She slept when she was supposed to, showed us her bright beautiful eyes at all the right moments. And of course, we had to add a little festive tree for this beautiful Christmas baby!

Ellie is pretty lucky to have these two for parents. They are some of the kindest, sweetest, most loving people I know! I loved this lifestyle newborn session. I got to capture all the tender moments like snuggling, kissing, and nuzzling that perfect baby girl. She had the softest hair, brightest eyes, and most calm, peaceful presence.

McKayla | Newborn

This house was full of natural window light! Like the kind that made me giddy. Someday when I build my dream home, I hope it has light like this! Baby McKayla was a dream. And also more fashionable than me.

Most lifestyle newborn sessions take place in my clients' homes, or in the White Elm natural light studio, however when the weather is perfect, it's also a fun option to do a family newborn session at the park! I can already tell those two little brothers are going to be the best of friends. 

Emeline | Newborn

This sweet family drove to Columbus, Ohio for our lifestyle newborn photography session, coming all the way from Michigan! I can't imagine riding in a car for so long after just having a baby (actually I can imagine it... and it's painful to think about!) But this mama was a champ. And that darling baby Emeline was a dream. I could not get over her red hair and chubby cheeks. She. was. perfect.

Emelia | Newborn

Lifestyle home newborn photography sessions like this always make me wish I would have had my baby's nursery ready when they came home from the hospital! How gorgeous is this room for sweet baby Emelia?! She is one lucky little girl.
