Tampa Newborn Lifestyle Session

When clients contact me about upcoming newborn sessions It thrills me to no end to ask for pictures of their nursery, their home, and ask what they are envisioning for this session. Y’all there is just something about babies that makes me so happy!!

So when Jennifer contacted me, she mentioned she had her nursery finished (I can’t wait for you to see it below!) and that she wanted to include her dogs in the newborn session as well.
I love incorporating dogs in sessions especially newborn sessions because they are our babies too! They have a special place in our families and it is so fun to see their personalities shine through when a baby is around.

So, I sent Jennifer a guide of our Newborn Client Wardrobe that includes newborn wraps, newborn hats, and newborn headbands to think about some different options to go with the spaces we would be utilizing in her home and nursery. She chose a pink floral wrap to go with their outfits and their home decor and y’all… Little miss was just adorable in that newborn wrap!

Below you’ll see some Pinterest picture perfect sneaks of their beautiful nursery and sweet Baby Rooney.

Isn’t it just the cutest? I think so too! Mom did a great job with the decor and the styling of the session. Included in every newborn session is the option to choose a couple different wraps, so that we have different looks for baby.

Newborn session Experience

So, it’s no surprise that I love documenting newborns in their home. I love the relaxing feel of slowing down and photographing beautiful families soaking in their new baby. With the Rooney family it was no different. Mom and Dad moved comfortably about while I photographed just baby and then took turns holding her so that I could get portraits of them with her as well.

We moved between the baby’s nursery, the master bedroom, and the living room areas where the lighting was best. I love that one day when baby is old enough, she will be able to flip through her newborn photos and see her first home documented, the love of her parents, and her sweet dogs shining through these!

Baby Rooney was very calm the entire newborn session and even dozed off for a bit! We got some great sleeping shots of her and you’ll even see below that I was able to capture her smiling too!

I bet you can’t help but smile when you see those dogs in the pictures with baby 🙂

Update: I no longer offer Tampa lifestyle newborn sessions, but instead offer Tampa studio newborn sessions! Why? I decided to mix my love of wrapping and posing babies in the most adorable ways plus newborn family images together. Instead of me coming to you, I offer a private studio with everything you possibly could need for your session. You get to choose your colors and I design a newborn session of your dreams that mixes posed baby images and family images with your baby.
