Something that I don’t see a lot of requests for lately is lifestyle photography. Posed newborn sessions are definitely my jam, but I absolutely adore lifestyle sessions, too! Now that I have my own little one at home, I’m trying (Between the much needed naps!) to snap the little moments here and there, as a way to preserve these days which I know will soon pass. The sleepless nights, the messy house, the chaos, the exhaustion, the baby coo’s, the endless amount of diaper changes, the achey boobs, and the little smiles that make it all worth it… this is life. Capturing the early moments of a newborn’s life are why lifestyle photography is SO important.

Last night my husband gave Kate a bath, all on his own, for the first time. Since Kate is his first baby, he’s still a bit nervous with her. My husband is absolutely still learning all the ups and downs of newborn life. I wanted to capture not just Kate’s newness, but also her dad’s newness of just being a dad/stepdad/husband.
