Carmel Newborn Photographer | A Cozy In-Home Session with the Smith Twins

I can say with absolute certainty I have the best job as a Carmel newborn photographer! Capturing those fleeting first moments of a newborn’s life is an honor I don’t take lightly. Each session is unique, and I love tailoring the experience to each family’s needs and preferences.

I was thrilled when Katie reached out to book a membership to document her twins, Jackson and Hayden. From the very beginning, she and her husband, Elliot, expressed how important it was to include their beloved dog, Rory, in the session. I always encourage families to incorporate meaningful elements into their sessions, whether that’s a pet, a special heirloom, or a cozy corner of their home. In this case, an in-home session was the perfect choice.

Carmel Newborn Photographer | Jackson & Hayden’s In Home Session

Choosing an in-home session with a Carmel newborn photographer offers so many advantages. First, it allows families to document memories in a familiar environment. Years down the road, it will be so special to look back and remember what life looked like in those early days—the nursery, the cozy living room, and all the little details that make a house a home.

Additionally, an in-home session can be a stress-free option during the postpartum period. There’s no need to pack up the baby (or in this case, babies!) and head to the studio. Instead, I come to you, allowing the entire family to stay comfortable and relaxed. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a picture-perfect, magazine-worthy home for beautiful newborn portraits. A bit of natural light and a little tidying up are all that’s needed to create stunning images that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Jackson and Hayden made their grand entrance into the world on January 12th, 2023. I had the privilege of documenting their first days with a fresh 48 session. I was beyond excited to see them again for their newborn session at home.

We began with individual portraits of each baby. Sweet Hayden was up first, and she was so relaxed and snoozy, making my job incredibly easy. Her delicate features and peaceful expressions were a joy to capture. Next, I focused on Jackson, who had his own little preferences. He loved having his hands free and his arms up, but after a little gentle swaddling, he settled in comfortably. I couldn’t get enough of his tiny pouty lips!

Once I had finished capturing individual portraits of the twins, it was time for sibling shots. There is something so magical about photographing newborn twins together. The way they instinctively snuggle up to each other is simply heart-melting! These images showcase the beautiful bond that began before they were even born.

Of course, no newborn session would be complete without family portraits. Katie and Elliot beamed with love and pride as they held their little ones close. And let’s not forget about Rory! This sweet pup was so well-behaved and already seemed perfectly adjusted to his new role as big brother. Including pets in newborn sessions always adds a special touch, making the images even more personal and meaningful.
