Newborn photography holds such a special place in my heart. Since we moved to upstate New York, I’ve had the pleasure of telling the stories of so many beautiful families with new babies, and this is one of my favorites.

The love between this family was just so evident. From their chilly snowy day maternity session to their lifestyle newborn session in sweet Jackson’s beautiful nursery, they just exude love for one another — including their bashful pup Peanut, who joined in for a few shots, but only on her own terms!

It was such an honor to take some of their first family pictures together and to be welcomed into their beautiful home. Each and every detail of the nursery was thought out with so much care. It was the perfect place to capture mom, dad, baby, and Peanut all together as a brand new family. I enjoyed that afternoon so much, and just getting to know such kind and lovely people.

And now, without further ado, please enjoy some of my favorites from baby J’s lifestyle newborn session!
