As an Edmond newborn photographer, I adore capturing sweet, simple moments for growing families. Recently, I had the joy of photographing the Dilbeck family as they welcomed their second baby girl!
Their beautiful home, designed by Kelsey Leigh Design Co., was the perfect backdrop for a cozy in-home session. With soft neutral tones, large windows, and thoughtful details, every space felt warm and inviting.
Because in-home sessions allow families to relax, we were able to capture genuine, natural moments. Big sister was especially sweet, showing so much love and excitement for her new baby sister!
In-home newborn sessions feel extra special because they freeze this fleeting season exactly where real life happens. Instead of studio props, we focused on soft cuddles on the couch, tiny yawns in the nursery, and quiet family moments.
As an Edmond newborn photographer, I believe there is nothing more meaningful than photographing a family in their own space. Every little detail — from the nursery wallpaper to the cozy living room — becomes part of your story.
If you are considering an in-home newborn session, here are a few tips:
- Choose a time with good natural light. Late morning or early afternoon often works best.
- Wear soft, neutral colors. This keeps the focus on your connection.
- Relax and enjoy. Your baby’s sweet, natural moments are the most beautiful.
Overall, it was such a joy to capture this precious season for the Dilbecks. Their home, their love, and their new baby girl made this session unforgettable.
