Newborn Lifestyle - In-Home Session - Lacey, WA

This photoshoot took place on a 100+ degree day in late morning.  The room we were in didn't face direct light, and there was no art on the walls, which made it look like a studio.  The mom and I had discussed clothing in advance and I had recommended something comfortable and flowy, like a robe since we'd be in the bedroom anyway and it would look natural in that setting with a newborn.  The mom chose a simple, cream nightgown with details that photographed nicely.  I love when newborns are relaxed enough to have their arms out of a swaddle without moving... which is not common in babies when they are awake, so it's waiting until they fall asleep (usually after a feeding).  This sweet boy didn't disappoint; we even got a sleepy smile shot!
