Cozy At-Home Newborn Session – Baby Boy in Arlington, VA
Client: Kenzie
Location: Arlington, VA
Date: November 2024
Photographed by May
Kenzie found me through a local mom’s group on Facebook (thank you to all the amazing mamas who shared my name!), and I’m so grateful she did. This was her first newborn session, held in the comfort of their cozy Arlington home. From soft cuddles on the couch to sweet yawns and tiny kicks, the baby was a dream. We even included their pup, who clearly took his new big brother duties seriously! The vibe was calm, natural, and full of joy — just the way in-home newborn sessions should be.
What to Expect From a NEWBORN Session
Gentle guidance before your session, including outfit help
Locations that feel natural
and dreamy.
Supportive posing so you can focus on connection, not the camera.
“We had the absolute best experience with May! She came to our home to take newborn photos in our nursery, and from the moment she walked in, she made us feel completely at ease. She was incredibly gentle and patient with our baby, handling every moment with such care and professionalism—it was clear she truly loves what she does.
The photos turned out beyond beautiful. She captured the sweetest details and most precious moments that we’ll treasure forever. We are so in love with every single image.
We can’t wait to work with her again for future milestones. Highly, highly recommend!”
