There’s nothing sweeter than welcoming a new baby—and getting to do it from the comfort of home makes it even more special. CJ photographed this in-home newborn session, and it was filled with soft light, sweet sibling snuggles, and all the quiet joy that comes with growing your family.
At Lightly, we love capturing newborns in a way that feels natural and relaxed. Being at home means big siblings can be themselves—running in for a quick kiss on baby’s head, grabbing a favorite book, or curling up on the bed with mom and dad. These little in-between moments are often the most meaningful.
For this session, we kept the setting simple: cozy textures, soft tones, and a focus on connection. Baby was calm and sleepy, and the older siblings were so proud to show off their new role. CJ gently guided the family into natural moments, helping everyone feel at ease and truly seen.
Thinking about newborn photos? We recommend scheduling your session within the first two weeks after birth to capture that dreamy, snuggly phase. Sessions at home allow for flexibility, comfort, and real-life storytelling you’ll treasure forever.
