Every newborn session is truly special. I had the honor to photograph the Huynh family and I was so moved by this family’s love, strength, and resilience! I learned that baby Huynh was born in July, a couple months early of his expected due date of November. I also found out their son was born the day their movers were supposed to come and help them move to California for Frank’s new job!

All that to say, baby Huynh was truly a miracle baby—he was a micro preemie baby when he was born and weighed about a pound. He then spent the next five months in the NICU, and after gaining enough strength he was finally discharged on Christmas Eve (what a gift!!).

Frank then contacted me about getting newborn photos done while he was in town (since he was flying back and forth to California every two weeks for work), and I was so honored to document their beautiful family. Their little man was about 10 pounds when we photographed him and was such a joy to photograph! I loved how he much he enjoyed looking at his parents during the shoot, and he was SO alert and inquisitive! We also had so much fun having their dog, Rilo, join in on the family photos!

Capturing the joy and emotion of being a new parent is so beautiful, and documenting a baby’s new life is priceless. It truly is your story and love that inspires me when I photograph families, and I’m so humbled and honored when families choose me to be their photographer. Enjoy the highlights from this precious lifestyle newborn session (the last photo will melt your heart), and getting to know the amazing Huynh family!

If you know me, I’m a HUGE fan of at-home newborn photography! I believe it is such a meaningful and relaxing way to document your family especially when you have a new baby in the home. You don’t need to worry about remembering if you packed everything (like bottles, blankets, diapers, etc.) or worry about getting to the shoot on time; instead, you get to relax and stay put because I come to you!

I recently had the sweet opportunity to capture lifestyle newborn photos of the Ellis family. I remember receiving a call from Lindsay, and learned that baby Charlotte was born about 3 weeks early and was in the NICU for about a month. They were all SO happy once Charlotte was able to be home with them, and I was so honored to capture these memories for them!

There were so many memorable, tender, and funny moments from the shoot! When we started the session, their dog eagerly jumped on the bed and kept looking at me as if she wanted her photos taken. So of course, I HAD to take a couple of shots of Holly the dog! I also included her in the family shots because she is, after all, a part of the family! In addition, Lindsay clearly has gift with aesthetics and design. Their house looked like something you see on Pinterest, and it was so warm and cozy!! I learned she has a love for arts and crafts, and most of the furniture in their home was passed down or given by family (like the rocking chair and quilt!). Lastly, when we ended the shoot, baby Charlotte fell asleep and somehow her arms came out of her swaddle. She raised them above her head, and apparently this is one of her favorite sleeping positions! It was the funniest and cutest thing ever!!

It was truly a joy capturing these memories for this sweet family. Capturing photos of them just being together and enjoying the gift of their baby girl is priceless! Hope you enjoy the highlights from their newborn session below!!
