There’s something incredibly special about in-home newborn photography in Lexington, where every corner of the house tells a story, and every detail is infused with love and thoughtfulness. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing baby Violet in Versailles, KY, just outside of Lexington. This session was a beautiful celebration of new life, family bonds, and the deep connections that make a house a home.
From the moment I stepped into Eden and Jared’s home, I was welcomed by an atmosphere of warmth and love. The first thing that caught my eye was Violet’s nursery—a room that perfectly matched her name. The entire room was a purple dream, with the centerpiece being the large, beautiful wallpaper of purple flowers behind her crib. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into creating this serene and lovely space for their little girl.
Violet was as sweet as could be, dressed in soft, pastel tones that complemented her purple surroundings. We captured some of the most tender moments of her early days—laying happily in her crib and being held gently by her parents. Eden’s mom was a wonderful presence throughout the session, helping with bottles, feedings, and diaper changes. The bond between generations was so evident and heartwarming to witness.
One of the most sentimental details in Violet’s nursery was a crocheted blanket and a stuffed animal made by her paternal grandmother. These handmade treasures added an extra layer of meaning to the session, reminding everyone of the love that spans across generations in this family. The blanket, draped over the side of the rocking chair, and the stuffed animal, tucked lovingly beside Violet, were not just props but heirlooms that will be cherished for years to come.
Eden and Jared’s joy was palpable throughout the session. Watching them interact with their new daughter, you could see the immense love and pride they have for Violet. Their home, filled with personal touches and family mementos, was the perfect setting to capture these early moments of parenthood.
In-home newborn sessions are such a unique and intimate way to document the early days of your baby’s life. They allow for a relaxed environment where parents and baby can be themselves, surrounded by the things they love. For Violet’s session, every detail—from the purple hues of her room to the presence of her loving grandmother—came together to create a collection of photos that the family will treasure forever.
If you’re considering an in-home session, think about the meaningful details that make your space uniquely yours. These elements not only add depth to the photos but also create a visual story that reflects your family’s journey. Whether it’s a specially decorated nursery, a family heirloom, or the presence of loved ones, these are the moments that make your session truly memorable.
I’d be honored to be considered to document your special day. Reach out here and let’s chat about your vision!
