Owen’s Newborn Session: Cozy In-Home Portraits for a Precious One-Month-Old
Welcoming baby Owen into the world was such a joy, and capturing his newborn session at one month old was an experience I won’t soon forget! As a Raleigh newborn photographer, I often work with babies in their first few weeks, but Owen proved that even older newborns can sleep like a dream once they’re cozy and comfortable.
A Session Full of Love & Family
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Owen’s sweet family for a while now. From photographing his big sister Oaklee’s cake smash to capturing his mother’s maternity session, and now documenting their newborn family session, it’s been such an honor to watch their journey unfold. It’s always special when I get to see families grow and celebrate these precious milestones with them.
A Rare Snow Delay & A Perfectly Cozy Setup
Owen’s session was originally scheduled earlier, but North Carolina surprised us with a rare snowfall—a little winter magic that meant we had to reschedule. But the wait was well worth it! The in-home session was nothing short of perfect. The warm and inviting atmosphere of their home created the ideal backdrop for this sweet newborn session.
The color scheme of green, blue, and cream complemented Owen’s peaceful nature so well. The soft tones brought out his delicate features, and the cozy textures made every image feel timeless and heartfelt.
Big Sister Oaklee: The Ultimate Protector & Cuddle Buddy
One of the absolute highlights of this session? Oaklee and her new little brother. From the moment we started, she was completely smitten with Owen—gently snuggling him, giving the sweetest kisses, and beaming with big-sister pride. Their sibling photos are some of my favorites because they truly capture the beginning of a lifelong bond.
The Beauty of Older Newborn Sessions
Many parents worry that if they miss the traditional 5-14 day newborn window, they won’t be able to get those dreamy, sleepy newborn portraits. But Owen’s session is proof that even at one month old, newborn magic still happens! While older newborns are often more alert, Owen settled into the warm, snuggly setups beautifully. Once he drifted off to sleep, he slept like a dream.
Looking Ahead: Watching Owen Grow
One of the most rewarding parts of being a newborn photographer is seeing these little ones grow. From maternity to cake smashes and everything in between, capturing milestones is such a privilege. I can’t wait to watch Owen hit all his big milestones and to continue documenting this wonderful family's journey.
