Welcoming a newborn into the family is truly a miracle— one that I never fail to feel grateful for getting to photograph. The joy of holding your child, the soft coos, and their innocent, peaceful sleep – every moment is worth treasuring. As a newborn photographer, I find so much joy in capturing these precious memories.
One such memorable experience was the Philly lifestyle newborn portraits with Alison and Dan, a couple whose wedding I had the privilege of photographing back in 2021.
August of last year brought along a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with Alison and Dan, who had recently welcomed their bundle of joy, Baby J, into this world. Their in-home lifestyle newborn session was nothing short of a beautiful as these two celebrated the arrival of their baby boy in their Philly home.
The star of our session, Baby J, was an absolute delight to photograph. His calm demeanor and sweet newborn snuggles made his session so lovely to photograph. He split his time between snoozing peacefully and basking in the love of his parents— in short, I am pretty convinced these two make magic babies! He was a DREAM.
Their first baby, Hoagie, a playful rescue pup, was also one of the sweetest parts of this memorable session. Though she is no longer her parent’s only baby, she brought her biggest tail wags, sure to make her presence in front of the camera was known! She is the best big sister and was an absolute ham in front of the camera, sharing the limelight with her new human sibling in the silliest of ways. (Just wait ’til you see her!)
It is a joy to see Alison and Dan transition from being newlyweds to doting parents.
The love and adoration they held for Baby J was palpable and their happiness, contagious. Their journey into parenthood seemed like a natural progression and one that they have embraced with open hearts. I can’t wait to see all of the amazing adventures that are on the horizon for them and their family!
This Philly lifestyle newborn portraits session was a beautiful reminder of why I chose to be a photographer. The joy of witnessing and capturing such personal and intimate moments is beyond words. As I photographed Alison and Dan with their newest bundle of joy with their wedding photos that we created together just a few years ago in the background, I couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. How lucky am I to be able to document some of the sweetest seasons for families?! It was so amazing to reconnect with Alison and Dan while seeing them take on their new chapter as Mom and Dad!
