There’s something incredibly special about Louisville newborn photography and capturing the first days of a baby’s life, especially when it’s in the comfort of your own home. Recently, I had the joy of photographing new parents Alana and Stephen with their beautiful baby girl. This session was filled with warmth, love, and the playful antics of their adorable dog, Oban.
The session began in Lilly’s nursery, a sweet and serene space that Alana and Stephen had carefully prepared for their new arrival. Soft pastels and cozy textures created the perfect backdrop for our photos.
Alana and Stephen’s love for their daughter was palpable, and the nursery was a testament to their anticipation and excitement. The sunlight filtering through the window added a natural glow, highlighting Lilly’s delicate features and the tender expressions of her proud parents.
Next, we moved to the parents’ bedroom for a more relaxed and intimate setting. The bed, with its fluffy pillows and cozy duvet, became a stage for capturing the family’s bond. Alana and Stephen snuggled close with Lilly between them, their faces glowing with joy and contentment.
Oban, the family’s lovable dog, was not to be left out. He hopped onto the bed, eager to be part of the action. Oban’s playful nature brought an extra layer of fun to the session. He was the perfect big brother, gently nuzzling Lilly and sitting proudly by her side. His antics had everyone laughing, and his presence added a heartwarming touch to the photos.
One of the highlights of this session was definitely Oban. He was a ham in front of the camera, striking poses and showing off his personality. Whether he was lounging next to Lilly, giving her a protective nudge, or simply being his goofy self, Oban’s charm was undeniable. His interactions with Lilly were some of the most memorable moments of the day.
This in-home session was a beautiful way to document the beginning of Alana and Stephen’s journey as parents. The familiarity and comfort of their home allowed for genuine moments and emotions to shine through. It was an honor to capture these memories for them, preserving the love and joy of these early days with Lilly.
Newborn sessions in the home are always special because they allow families to be in their element, surrounded by the things and the spaces that mean the most to them. For Alana, Stephen, Lilly, and Oban, this session was a perfect reflection of their new life together—a life filled with love, laughter, and a little bit of doggy mischief.
