A Sweet In-Home Newborn Session in Arlington, VA

Newborn Portraits in Arlington, VA are always a special experience, but when I get to photograph a past wedding couple as they welcome their first child, it’s even more meaningful. Sally and Kevin, one of my wedding couples from a few years ago, naturally reached out to me and my team to capture this next beautiful milestone in their lives—the arrival of their sweet son, Cal. After he was born, my associate photographer, Sam, met them in their home to document all the love, joy, and newborn snuggles that filled their space.

A Home Filled with Love & Light:
Sally and Kevin’s home was the perfect setting for an in-home newborn session. With bright, beautiful natural light streaming through the windows, it provided a warm and airy backdrop for Cal’s first portraits. But even if your home doesn’t have abundant natural light, don’t let that stop you from choosing an in-home session! We are always prepared to create our own light and work with any space to ensure your newborn session is just as dreamy and intimate as you envision.

In-home sessions have a unique magic to them. They capture life as it is—where your baby spends their first days, where your family’s love grows, and where you create the tiny, everyday moments that you’ll cherish forever. Cal’s session did exactly that, preserving this sweet season of life in the most natural and meaningful way.

Cal was an absolute dream to photograph. Wrapped in soft neutrals and swaddled in his parents’ arms, he dozed peacefully, soaking up all the love surrounding him. Sally and Kevin were completely in their element—holding him close, marveling at his tiny features, and sharing quiet, love-filled glances that spoke volumes about their journey into parenthood.

Sam focused on capturing both the small, fleeting details—Cal’s tiny fingers curled around his parents’ hands, the way he stretched and yawned in his sleep—and the bigger picture of this new chapter in their lives. The result? A stunning, heartfelt collection of images that tell the story of their growing family.

Why Choose an In-Home Newborn Session?
Newborn Portraits in Arlington, VA don’t have to take place in a studio to be beautiful.

They create a personal, relaxed atmosphere that ensures your images truly reflect your life in this moment.

Sally and Kevin’s in-home newborn session was a joy to capture, and I couldn’t be happier for them as they embrace this new season of parenthood.
