In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Photo Session | Columbus Ohio Newborn Photographer
I met the L family in their Grove City, Ohio home to document their new baby boy, Whit. They chose an in-home, lifestyle newborn session because they love the look of lifestyle images of their family in their own home. They also liked the idea of having some more posed images of their baby on my studio fabrics and props. They chose to book my In-Home Newborn Session with Posed Baby Images, which is different than an In-Home Lifestyle Session. You receive an additional hour of time, more images of your baby using items I bring from my studio to your home, and additional images!
This isn’t the first time I’ve photographed the L family. I met them last October for fall family portraits when mom, Hayley, was newly pregnant with baby Whit. So when Hayley contacted me to document their new baby I was so thrilled! Big brother, Beau, was already comfortable with me when I arrived to their home because he remembered me from their fall photos!
I arrived to their home and took a peek in their family room, bedrooms and nursery. I actually set up all my props and newborn items in their dining room because it had the best lower window light. When posing baby in props and on my beanbag I look for windows that are lower to the ground for a softer light on baby. Baby Whit needed a quick feeding and then we started taking family, parent and sibling portraits in their master bedroom and glider. Their pup, Fiona, made her way into a few photos too! After some time in their upper level we went downstairs to take a few photos in their family room and front porch. After all the family photos were complete, baby Whit needed another feeding before starting his solo portraits. His parents were able to have lunch, change into comfy clothes and even put their older son down for a nap. All while I was working safely to capture images of their new baby boy.
I loved working with this sweet family in their Grove City home! If you like the idea of both posed baby images and lifestyle family photos in your own home, I’d love to chat with you about documenting this important milestone! Here are my favorite images from their in-home lifestyle newborn session!

Columbus Family Summer Photo Session

The B family contacted me to schedule a summer field family photo session. They really wanted to capture their little family during the summer months. I was able to schedule them on the calendar and we began planning their session together!
Mom knew she loved the idea of a simple background like a field at sunset. I knew just the location - it’s the perfect spot for summer portraits. Whether you’re a family of three or a large, extended family with three generations, it’s the perfect spot!
Central Ohio Baby Milestone Studio Photo Session
Columbus Ohio Baby Photographer
Baby Shepherd’s mom messaged me through my business Instagram to inquire about a six month baby milestone photo session in my studio. She loved my use of a lot of white and simple setups. She asked if we could also capture a photo with her older son as well. I was happy to be able to schedule her so we could begin planning her session together!Danae, his mama, had some really simple and timeless requests. She really wanted to show off her baby’s rolls, eyes, features and even his little tush! I talked with her about all the setups and options I have for baby milestone sessions in my studio. She was over the moon to plan this session! She even drove from over an hour away to have these portraits taken in my Grove City studio.
Grove City Family Creek Photo Session
Columbus Ohio Family Photographer
The P family won a family session giveaway I held when I reached 1,000 likes on Facebook. I was so thrilled to tell them that they won - you see, this family has been through so much. Between cancer battles, adoptions and more - they were truly deserving of this family giveaway! Mom, Stephanie, loved the idea of a true, Summer session. Flowers, a creek, and cotton dresses. I knew just the location to take them in Grove City! Gantz Park has a beautiful garden full of flowers, ivy and herbs. They also have a very shallow creek that is easily accessed at the park itself. There is also a really fun, newly renovated playground for littles to enjoy after they do a great job during the photo session.
Arowyn's Central Ohio Newborn Photo Session
Columbus Ohio Newborn Photographer
Baby Arowyn’s mom emailed me to schedule her second daughter’s newborn session. She loved my style of using a lot of whites and natural poses. I was able to schedule her on the calendar right away and we got to planning her session.
She had a lot of really lovely ideas and had a really timeless style. One of her ideas involved bringing a purple quilt made by a family member. She wanted to incorporate it somehow, so I told her to bring it along and I would design a setup using the blanket. It’s important to me that you LOVE your images, and if that means you bring along a sentimental heirloom-so be it! I don’t typically use purple but I truly believe in making my clients happy and I know this mama’s heart was so excited to see this quilt in her daughter’s portraits. You’ll see the image at the end of this blog post! Take a look!
Ethan's Columbus Newborn Photo Session
Columbus Newborn Photographer
Ethan’s mom contacted me to schedule her first child’s newborn session. She loved the idea of choosing someone who offered a natural approach to newborn photography. We scheduled her session with a tentative date. I always let clients know their date is tentative in case their due date changes. Which we all know happens quite often. If your due date changes by more than 4-5 days I usually alter the session date to make sure your baby is between 7-14 days old by their session.

Columbus Ohio Newborn Photography Studio | Baby Oliver’s Studio Session
Stephanie contacted me through my Facebook business page hoping to schedule a full newborn session in my Grove City newborn studio. Her baby boy was already born and hoped to snag a last minute opening. Although I do suggest you schedule your session before your baby is born, I try my hardest to schedule in last minute sessions. It makes things so much easier for you to schedule and plan your session before your baby is born so you can mark it off as done on your mental check list. You also don’t need to sit and research to find the best photographer after your baby is born and living on 3 hours of sleep.
Once Stephanie was all booked we started planning her session! She had a boy named Oliver with the most gorgeous head of hair. We discussed any of her requests to which she shared she wanted some nice family photos, a great sibling shot and timeless newborn photos of her baby boy. She was nervous that her oldest wouldn’t cooperate for photos. I let her know I would do my very best to make sure we captured some photos of them together. My sibling photos are pretty natural and very safe. I always keep a parent just off to the side, out of camera, to give a helping hand to the kiddos.
