An In-Home Newborn Session with Snuggles, Sweet Light, and a Very Clingy Doodle

There’s something so magical about photographing families in the comfort of their own home—especially when there’s a furry “older sibling” eager to be part of the action. This in-home newborn session was full of quiet moments, baby snuggles, and one very devoted doodle who clearly wasn’t ready to give up their spot as the center of attention!

Through heirloom-quality images, we can stop time—even for just a moment—to capture your family’s boundless love for one another. These sessions are about more than tiny toes and sleepy yawns—they’re about documenting how your family is evolving. The way your partner looks at you, the little touches that soothe your baby, and yes…even the loyal pup who insists on being wherever you are. One day, when your babies are grown or you want to share your history with future generations, you’ll have tangible memories to touch and feel.

This cozy Northern Virginia home provided soft, natural light and a warm backdrop for this sweet session. We moved from snuggles on the bed to quiet moments in the nursery, all while making sure our doodle friend felt included (even if that meant squeezing in a few extra cuddles and treats along the way!).

In-home newborn sessions are relaxed, heartfelt, and a perfect way to capture your growing family—pets absolutely welcome! Get in touch here to learn more about availability and how I’ll tell your story, right from the start.
