I recently had the honor of photographing this South Bend Newborn Session for Shareen and her sweet new addition to their family. It was such a beautiful session and I loved it so much!
With my style of lifestyle newborn photos, an in-home setting was perfect for this South Bend newborn session. Shareen’s family lives in a gorgeous historic home in a beautiful area of South Bend, Indiana. I did a maternity session with them not too long ago, and you can look at those photos here.
The home setting is so great because it’s a comfortable area for photos, and the family already feels that much more comfortable for their session.
I love to make sure I get solo shots of baby by themselves during newborn sessions, and then we work to get full family shots as well. Baby H was so adorable as he posed on the bed in the main bedroom for some solo shots. Then the whole family got cozy together. It was so sweet.
When I have a toddler in the mix for family sessions, I do take their lead a lot for photos, not pushing them into poses if they don’t want, and shooting a lot of beautiful candid moments. Big brother was so much fun and I got a lot of sweet shots of him for the session.
Some family was in town to help Shareen and her husband with their newest addition, so I had the honor of photographing some grandparents with Baby H. It was so sweet to be able to add in multi-generational groupings for a few shots as well. What a bonus to be able to shoot such beautiful relationships for this session!
I absolutely loved photographing this beautiful South Bend Newborn Session for Shareen and her family!
