Newborn Photo Session in the Comfort of Your Own Home | Atlanta, GA

highlights from an At Home Lifestyle Baby Photoshoot with Monica Conlin Photography

An at home newborn photo session is one of my favorite ways to document those first days as a family, especially when there’s a proud toddler sister involved. Photographing newborn photos at home allows everything to unfold naturally—snuggles on the couch, tiny fingers wrapped around mama’s hand, and big sister popping in with sweet curiosity. Toddlers bring a beautiful, honest energy to newborn photography, and I always let them lead the way. Whether she wants to hold her new baby, kiss tiny toes, or take a break to play, those in-between moments are where the magic lives and where the most meaningful newborn photos are made.

Lifestyle newborn photos focus less on perfection and more on connection, creating images that feel timeless and true to your family. During an in-home newborn photo session, there’s no rush and no pressure—just gentle guidance, soft window light, and space for everyone to be themselves. Including a sibling in your newborn photography tells a fuller story, preserving the beginning of their bond in a way that feels effortless and real. These newborn photos aren’t just portraits; they’re memories of the love, chaos, and tenderness of welcoming a new baby home.

Family Photos with a Special Announcement in Avondale Estates, GA

Highlights from a Photo Gallery for a Baby Announcement with Family Photos by Monica Conlin Photography

Some sessions just stay with you—and this one at Avondale Lake is one of them.

When this local family reached out about updating their family photos, we talked about the timing being at golden hour and making space for a relaxed, playful session that let their toddler be a toddler. But the extra special part of this session was a little surprise in store—one they’d been keeping quiet for weeks.

We met at Avondale Lake on one of those perfect evenings where it wasn’t too hot yet and there was hardly anyone out at the park. We moved through the session like we always do—lighthearted, slow, and focused on the in-between moments. Those quiet forehead kisses, little hand-holds, and belly laughs that make a gallery feel like home.

Then came the moment for the fun surprise, the Mom pulled out her ultrasound photos of little baby #2. The soon-to-be big brother was into it and proudly helped hold the roll of pictures. It was a lovely way to build the excitement and joy that comes with welcoming a new baby.

These are the special moments that are meant to be remembered, and what better way than having forever photographs!

To all the families I photograph, thank you for trusting me with your beautiful news and big life events. I am so grateful to be the one to document what matters most to you!

An Extended Family Photo Session with Monica Conlin Photography to Celebrate Grandma’s Birthday

All the grandkids were there to celebrate their grandparents and it was my job to capture and document all of the love and joy they had together!
