A newborn photo session at home is always extra special when a big sister is part of the story, and this one was filled with the sweetest energy from the very beginning. From the moment we started, she was all in—curious, proud, and genuinely excited to show off her new baby brother. She climbed onto her parent’s bed for cuddles, leaned in for gentle kisses, and never stopped smiling as she stayed close by his side. Photographing newborn photos like this is less about perfect posing and more about letting siblings be exactly who they are, and her joy made every moment feel warm and effortless.

What I loved most about this session was how much fun big sister was having simply being herself. There was no pressure for her to perform or sit still—she laughed, moved, snuggled, and took breaks when she needed to, creating the most honest and heartfelt images. These lifestyle newborn photos capture the very beginning of their bond, documenting not just what this season looks like, but what it feels like. A big, warm welcome like this is something her baby brother will one day love seeing, and a reminder of just how much love surrounded him from day one.
