Classic Lifestyle Newborn Session

I photographed this simple and classic lifestyle newborn session in the unimaginably distant past of 2019. This is another session that was lined up and ready to post when everything went sideways last year. I just couldn’t let it go without sharing. Better late than never, right? I actually photographed this sweet family once again since this session. It’s hard to believe that this baby has already turned into a toddler, full of opinions and tons of personality.

I love all the sweet moments I captured of this new family of three at this session. I love the way mom and dad’s love for each other and their brand new little guy exudes from every photo. And I love that this baby gave me equal parts of his sleepy, calm side and his wide-eyed, engaged side. He was such a pleasure to have in front of my camera.

Classic and Chic In Home Newborn Session

Last March, when the world suddenly shut down, I had a bunch of sessions all cued up and ready to post–including this classic in home newborn session. But when everything turned upside down, it somehow didn’t feel right to keep sharing content from normal times. And yes, this baby is now fully well over a year old, but I love this shoot too much not to share anyway. This sweet little man and his gorgeous parents were an absolute joy to photograph and made my job so easy.

This session is also full of so many beautiful neutral tones. When people ask me what to wear for their session, I often advise them not to shy away from color. I love color in photos and the vibrancy it can bring to a shot. But I think this session makes an excellent argument for what the perfect neutral palette can bring to photos too. The truth is, I want every family I photograph to be themselves in front of my camera. I want them to look at their photos and see their own style and taste, not mine. I want the interest to be in their love and joy and bond above anything else. This family’s style in their home and clothing set the perfect backdrop for the love to shine through in their photos.

A Classic and Fun In Home Newborn Session

I was lucky enough to photograph each one of these three sweet kids as a newborn. Honestly, every session was one that I could easily describe as the best. As babies, they each had their own unique look and a personality to match. There was this session from a couple of years ago – big sister with all that dark hair – and her brother’s curls!. And this – a relaxed, peaceful first baby newborn session of the most content and wide-eyed little guy. (Only first babies get peaceful sessions, by the way.) I’m happy to say that their newest addition brought her A game to this session. And her brother and sister made sure that I didn’t get too bored with a very cooperative and smiley newborn. Goodness knows I very much appreciate that because I love some chaos.

Genuinely though, I love when kids are able to just be kids during a session. I’m not looking for serious posed little people smiling stiffly for the camera. I want them jumping on beds and hugging each other a bit too tightly. I want to see their personalities! This family gives me that every time and I love them for it.

So here are some of my favs of my favs.

Valley Forge Family Photo Session at Sunrise

Documentary photography doesn’t just happen at home.

Another Valley Forge family photo session that I’m in love with. I photographed this family for the first time when their oldest was a tiny little newborn. From their very first session, they have felt like old friends. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph them two more times – at a laid back documentary session at home and when their son joined the family. Every time is an absolute treat and I walk away photos that feel like tiny treasures.

This was the first session that happened outside of their home, but mom still made it feel relaxed and easy. We met at Valley Forge Park just before sunrise and they shared a picnic as the sun came up. (Hooray for clients who are morning people!) After that, we explored the grounds, played in the stream, and picked flowers to fill the mason jar that they brought along for just that purpose (genius!). I love this family and I feel so lucky to get the chance to take capture their happy spirit year after year.

Some of my favs from the morning.

My name is Katie! I love color and pretty light and happy faces and sessions that include all of those things. Photographing families like yours, capturing the essence of what makes you unique, is my passion. I want to get to know you and to tell a story that is authentically yours.
