This little newborn baby’s room was the best setting to take her debut photos!

A newborn baby's nursery is an ideal setting for photographs for several reasons. First, it embodies the essence of the baby's early days, filled with personal touches that reflect the family's style and love. The soft colors, cozy blankets, and thoughtfully chosen decor create a tranquil atmosphere that enhances the warmth of each moment captured.

Natural light floods this nursery, providing a soft and flattering illumination for photos. This gentle lighting helps highlight the delicate features of the newborn, ensuring that every smile and yawn is beautifully showcased.

Additionally, the nursery is a familiar and safe space for the baby, which contributes to their comfort and relaxation during the shoot. As a result, you can capture those authentic, candid moments of connection between the baby and their parents or siblings.

Ultimately, the nursery is not just a backdrop; it’s a reflection of the family’s journey, making it a significant and sentimental location for preserving precious memories during this fleeting stage of life.

Booking an at-home newborn photo session is an opportunity to preserve the fleeting moments of your baby’s early life. In the comfort of your home, I can capture the unique details that make your baby who they are—tiny fingers, delicate features, and those soft little sounds that fill the air.

These first days are so brief, yet they are filled with love and connection. An at-home session allows for a more relaxed atmosphere, letting your family be themselves while I document genuine, candid interactions.

You’ll treasure these images not just for their beauty, but for the memories they hold. Each photo serves as a time capsule of your baby’s earliest days—their first home, their first smiles, the way they fit perfectly in your arms.

Don't let these moments slip away. Let’s create a beautiful collection of memories that you can look back on for years to come. Book your at-home newborn session today and embrace this precious time to document your growing family.

Vibrant Maternity Photo Session in Atlanta with Monica Conlin Photography

A city setting for a photoshoot is great no matter the season: Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter Pregnancies! These photo locations looks great year-round.

Celebrating that sweet baby bump with ice cream & all the color murals around one my favorite areas in Atlanta. The couple shared with me that their nursery theme was going to be ice cream, so of course, we HAD to include ice cream in our maternity photo session. We went near Krog Street Market in Atlanta and found some beautiful colorful murals and walls in the area for great backdrops to pictures. Then we ended the session ordering ice cream cones and getting some playful photos of the soon-to-be parents eating the ice cream.

I absolutely love personalizing your family and maternity photo sessions so that they are not only meaningful but also truly representative of who you are as a family. Incorporating little touches that reflect your unique personalities can make all the difference. For example, getting their favorite treat, like ice cream, at the end of the photo session was the perfect way to celebrate the sweet little baby who would be joining them in just a couple of months! It created joyful memories while capturing genuine moments of connection.

I hope to document your growing family as well. Email me today at hello@monconpix.com to book your Outdoor Maternity Photoshoot!

newborn baby girl with bow and floral swaddle

I really enjoyed photographing this sweet family for an at home newborn photo session. This mama had such a distinct style and I loved to see how her home had tons of special, personal touches throughout their living space, the bold and bright colors she dressed in, the baby’s corner of the room decorated, even the floral swaddle and bright orange bow on baby girl’s head. Bold, bright colors can transform a newborn session, adding vibrancy and energy that enhance the overall imagery. Infusing rich hues with the outfits and swaddles draws attention to the delicate features of the baby, creating a stunning contrast that highlights their innocence. By incorporating these lively shades, the photographs capture the beauty of new life, making each image a captivating keepsake that families will cherish for years to come.

Did you know that all the beautiful indoor photos were taken right next to just one window? I discovered one large window with fantastic natural light in the guest room, and that was really all we needed to create these stunning and memorable pictures. Additionally, they had a magnificent magnolia tree in the backyard of their home, which I used as the primary backdrop for the wonderful outdoor photos we captured together. I love looking around and finding the unique space in your home that will work well for our photo session.

Additionally, during a newborn photo session, flexibility and calmness are key to creating a soothing environment for both the baby and the family. Babies can be unpredictable, and their needs often change from moment to moment. Embracing this unpredictability allows us to adapt quickly, whether it’s taking a break for a feeding or changing positioning to keep the little one comfortable. A calm atmosphere not only helps the newborn feel secure, but it also enables parents to relax and enjoy the experience. By fostering this tranquil vibe, I can capture those genuine moments of connection that truly reflect the love and joy of welcoming a new life into the family.
