A Beautiful Nursery in Riverside | Home Newborn
This family. From our first consultation (which ended up with them feeding me dinner and us talking birth and photography into the wee hours of the night), I knew that their birth was going to be special. And after spending 23 precious hours with them on the morning that their little guy finally arrived, they were almost like family! I came back to do their newborn session in their beautiful Riverside home.
It is always special to come back and see how new families are settling in. I know one of the main concerns about an in-home newborn session is always..."I just had a baby! No one is sleeping! My house is a wreck!" But rest assured, it's truly (truly!) not a big deal. Before the session, we pick one or two rooms where we will photograph (often one of those rooms is the nursery, which hasn't been touched!) and shove all the clutter out of the way; no vacuuming, dusting, or scrubbing allowed!
Like father, like son! This baby has so much personality already!
Can't you almost smell that sweet newborn baby head scent? It's heavenly!
We scheduled our photo session for the time of day when the nursery would be best lit. Their nursery had a light, airy feel with bright pops of color and lots of special touches. It felt like it was straight out of a magazine!
Babies make the best faces!
After we were done in the nursery, this sweet family cuddled up in mom and dad's bed for some snuggles.
So many great smiles in this family! And although their little guy didn't give us any smiles this time around, he is ALWAYS smiling now, at 6 months old!
Um...there was some confusion as to where lunch comes from. Worth a try, right?
Flaky baby toes! It's a tiny detail, but one that comes and goes so fast.
And back into the nursery to put this little guy down for a nap. Aren't they just the cutest little family?
With a full tank and a clean diaper, he slipped into dreamland.
Congratulations again on your beautiful boy! You two are #parentinggoals and it has been amazing following your family on this journey.
