Asheville Newborn Photography: Capturing the Sweetness of New Life
Welcoming a newborn into your family is one of life’s most precious moments. As parents, you want to remember every tiny detail—from their delicate fingers to their first sleepy smiles. One of the best ways to capture these fleeting memories is with an in-home newborn photography session.
For this particular newborn photography session, I chatted with the couple about their vision to capture their little one in a way that embraced the holiday season. They all dressed up in holiday pajamas (so cute!), and we took some family photos around the fireplace and in front of their Christmas tree. We also used the natural light within their bedroom and nursery spaces to create some softer, natural scenes. It was an absolute joy to share in these first moments of the little guy’s life and to help preserve these early memories. I am so thrilled for them as they begin this special journey!
Are you considering an in-home session for your own family? Here are a few reasons I love these types of session.
Reasons to Consider Scheduling Your Family Photography Session at Home
Your home is often where you feel most at ease. With no travel stress or unfamiliar settings, your family can relax and be themselves, leading to more natural and genuine moments.
In-home sessions allow for photos that are unique to your story. From the colors and décor to the small, meaningful details around your home, every image becomes a reflection of your family’s personality and lifestyle.
With newborns or young children, in-home sessions eliminate the need to pack up and head to a studio or outdoor location. Everything you need is right at your doorstep, from your child’s favorite toys to snacks, making the process more stress-free.
The comfort of your own space allows for more intimate, meaningful shots—whether it’s a family cuddle on the couch, playing in the nursery, or making pancakes in the kitchen.
In-home sessions are typically more flexible with timing. You can take breaks for feeding, changing, or simply to let the kids play and relax—no rush or pressure to stick to a strict schedule.
Home is where the everyday moments happen—the laughter, the love, the chaos, and the calm. In-home sessions allow you to document your family in its natural state, preserving the beauty in those everyday interactions.
Your home is likely to change over time, whether through renovations or moving to a new place. Capturing your family there now creates lasting memories of a place that holds so many moments of your life.

As an Asheville photographer, family photography sessions are some of my favorites. No matter what “family” looks like for you, I truly believe those connections are one of the most beautiful parts of life, and it’s an honor to be there and capture your love.
With an in-home session, I’ll direct you into a fun poses, as well as guide you into activities (think pillow fights and jumping on the bed!). Much of my time is also spent capturing candids and the moments naturally unfolding.
