Lancaster Newborn Lifestyle Photography: Baby Gwen

Lately all of my sessions have revolved around newborns and babies and I'm ok with that! At 39 weeks pregnant, this was the last photo session I did before giving birth to our son. I know I've said it many times, but I have really enjoyed photographing in home lifestyle sessions this winter. I first met Melissa and Ryan over a year ago when they hired me to photograph their wedding. When I heard they were expecting a baby (just a week or so before me!) and wanted me to photograph her as a newborn, of course I said yes! All of the color in these photos makes my heart happy, and on top of that baby Gwen let me capture some of the sweetest, most ginormous newborn yawns.

Lancaster Newborn Lifestyle Photography: The Millers Welcome Baby Ben

, ,

My friends Shawn and Candice recently welcomed their newborn son Ben into the world and I had the pleasure of doing an in home newborn lifestyle session for them. These types of sessions are quickly becoming some of my favorites because of the candid, raw moments I am able to capture. Big sister Eva wasn't a huge fan of being in photos at first but she was happy to show off her awesome cowgirl hat and when baby brother started crying she was quick to comfort him. I have enjoyed documenting the Miller family over the years, starting with Candice and Shawn's engagement, then the arrival of their daughter and now as they have become a family of four!

Soon we will be welcoming our own baby boy into our family and I am curious to see how the transition will go with my own daughter, who is very close in age to Eva.

This mama came to her maternity session with a vision; she wanted to achieve a studio look on a simple black backdrop, but also wanted outdoors. I don’t have my own studio space so I improvised by setting up a backdrop on the edge of a field wh
