Newborn Lifestyle & Posed Session at Home | Baby Girl + Big Brother | Charlottesville Newborn Photographer

Welcoming a new baby home is such a magical season, and this session was the sweetest mix of peaceful newborn portraits and real-life moments with her proud big brother. Baby girl was just a few days old, sleepy and cozy in her home — the perfect setting for timeless lifestyle photos.

We started the session in bedroom, capturing those natural, everyday moments: snuggles with mama, quiet time with dad, and the sweetest interactions between siblings. Big brother loved being part of the experience, and his gentle touches made for the most precious memories.

After lifestyle photos, we transitioned into lightly posed newborn portraits using soft blankets and neutral tones that keep the focus on her tiny features. She slept beautifully, giving us those dreamy, curled-up shots parents always love.

At-home newborn sessions are relaxed, slow, and baby-led — perfect for families with older siblings. It gives everyone space to be themselves and create photos that feel real, connected, and full of love.

If you’re expecting and want these warm, natural memories captured in your home, I’d love to photograph your growing family.
