If you’re currently a pregnant mama in the Greenville, SC area, here’s why you should book in home newborn photos:

1. Comfort - whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, or formula feeding, all of those options are easier at your own home, especially in those first few weeks! You have everything you need, comfy seating, and all of your supplies. You can lounge on your own furniture when not in photos. We can lay on your couches and bed for sweet, snuggly photos with baby. I just love the cozy feel of in home newborn photos. We can also take plenty of breaks as needed if toddlers need a snack, mama needs a water break, or baby is ready to eat. We can even put the toddlers down for a nap while we continue taking photos of baby!

2. Convenience - It’s so nice not to have to go anywhere those first week weeks with a new baby! It’s a LOT of work to get everything you need all packed up, get baby in the car seat and go somewhere new. Especially when you’re still healing from giving birth, learning how to be a new parent, and trying to bond with your baby. I know some parents worry about cleaning the house with a newborn. but I personally think it’s easier to declutter one or two rooms than it is to pack up the whole family in those early days. To make things even more convenient for you, I bring everything you need for the photos to you! I bring dress options from my client closet for mama, outfits and swaddles for baby, and a moses basket for baby. I also provide an outfit guide for styling dad and the other kids!

3. Authenticity - When I became a mom, I realized how important authentic photos are. The photos I cherish the most are the ones that feel real, the ones that feel like us. The ones where I can feel just how much we love each other and see how much fun we have together. In home photos are authentic because they show you in your own space and show what your life together is really like. That’s what makes them extra special to print, keep forever, and pass down to your kids

4. Memories - Make new memories in your home together. My photo sessions are fun for the whole family. We snuggle, laugh, tickle, and play games. Make real family memories that you’ll look back on with fondness in your own home. Be reminded of those special times when walking the halls or putting your kids to bed.

In home newborn photos are so special in my opinion, but at the end of the day - it’s up to you!
