Baby Henry, At-Home Newborn Photography Session :: Norwood, Massachusetts

It’s such a beautiful gift to photograph newborns. It’s such a milestone in life. This tiny, new person, welcomed into the world, into their home and their family. It’s beautiful and messy and tiring and peaceful and a million things all at once.

I consider it an honor to photograph these first, early days for my clients.

Even more special is to get to do this for my friends and family.

Jess is one of my best friends from college. We spent so much time singing and acting and laughing and partying and talking and eating cafeteria food. And now we’re moms, and she welcomed her third baby into their family. A sweet baby boy, with two incredibly funny big sisters.

I spent a Sunday morning with them at their home in Norwood, Massachusetts. They still had Christmas decorations on the front step because this is real life and lord knows we all have those things we just don’t need to bother with. We focus on what matters. It’s what’s inside that counts.

Inside the home is happiness, laughter, love, jumping off the couch and singing showtunes. It’s lots of coffee. It’s snuggles and sister hugs and dragging each other across the floor on their bean bag chairs.

It’s the stuff you dream of when you dream of having a family. Those little every day moments that define family life.

Here are some of my favorites from this special day.
