There is something so special about walking into a home full of tiny voices, toys on the floor, twirls in the living room, and the soft quiet that settles when a newborn is finally wrapped up in mama’s arms. Alivia Jean’s lifestyle newborn session in Phoenix, AZ was the perfect blend of everything I love about in-home photography: dreamy newborn moments paired with the beautiful, unpredictable rhythm of real family life.
Alivia made her arrival on March 7, 2024, joining her three proud big sisters and her amazing parents, Meghan and Will. This family welcomed me with such warmth and joy, and I left feeling like I had just witnessed a real-life girl gang—full of energy, love, and the kind of unfiltered moments that make sessions like this so meaningful.
Why I Love Lifestyle Newborn Sessions
Lifestyle newborn sessions are such a beautiful alternative to posed studio photography. While I absolutely adore those softly swaddled images, there’s something incredibly timeless about photographing a family in their own space, surrounded by the textures, rhythms, and quirks of their everyday life.
During Alivia’s session, we captured all the classic, ethereal moments you’d expect from a newborn session — those delicate baby features, cozy snuggles with mom and dad, and the quiet moments of connection. But what really made this session unforgettable were the real-life moments:
- Little Vera zipping by on her scooter (yes, inside the house!)
- Maeve twirling in her favorite dress
- Giggles and snack breaks between shots
- And the overwhelming sense of love and celebration that filled every room
These candid, unscripted moments are what lifestyle newborn sessions are all about — capturing the full story of what life looks like when a new baby arrives.
