Newborn Photography At Home | Vihaan & Family

All sessions are special and bring on their own beauty and puzzle pieces. Lighting, location, age of children, and many other factors can go into this. Newborn photography at home, most of all, is different and unique for each family.

Saloni, Suraj and Vihaan are a family of three that I am so grateful to have met and gotten to photograph. We laughed the entire time, and getting to photograph little Vihaan’s bubbly personality was a true joy. Some babies are just super smiley, and he is one of those babies. 

Saloni & Suraj moved here not long before the pandemic hit. This, coupled with being pregnant, is something I tip my hat to as incredibly difficult this past year. The babies of this past year, dubbed “pandemic babies”, will have such an interesting first couple of years of their lives! Not to mention a way of identifying themselves as they grow older! “I was a pandemic baby, so…”, I can hear the youth of tomorrow saying! Wow, I feel old. So many kids haven’t gotten to meet other children yet, and I’m positive that this summer will be an amazing baby renaissance, full of park days and playdates. 

Newborn Photography at Home

We wanted to capture Vihaan’s essence in his space, both playing and resting. If you know me, you know I prefer prompting couples and families into loose poses and capturing the candid happenings around it. We had a blast roaming their condo, and taking a stroll around the parking lot and neighborhood. 

I shouldn’t have a favorite kind of photo, but I feel as though anyone would answer the same as me: baby laughter. It was impossible not to smile while editing their photos, and I look forward to many more photoshoots like this in the future!

Rather than a newborn shoot, they chose (or the pandemic did) to photograph Vihaan at 4, almost 5 months old. This was an excellent idea as babies are so much more expressive and engaged with the camera. Babies and animals know how to work a camera, I’m telling you.

"Sarah was absolutely amazing to work with! Every single picture we got back was nothing short of perfect. Our families and friends were amazed at how great our photos turned out as well as the volume of photos we received. She made sure to capture moments that were special to us on our wedding day, as well as make time to get all of the family photos we wanted. Something that I found to be really helpful was how organized Sarah was. She sent us questionnaires to get to know us and even created a day of timeline so my partner and I, and our families and bridal parties, would know what to expect and when formal photos would be taken. Her attention to detail and caring nature ensured that our photos reflected not only our wedding day but our personalities as well. I cannot say enough good things about her and her work. She is a fantastic photographer and a great person to work with.

"...Sarah went above and beyond our expectations. She spent ample time talking with me about my vision of the day, provided a detailed itinerary to help me stay organized, and was a listening ear when I needed practical wedding advice. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine nature helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. In addition, we are delighted with Sarah’s technical qualities as a photographer - her sense of mise-en-scène, attention to detail, and her remarkable ability to capture poignant and symbolic moments in an inter-cultural, inter-racial, pandemic wedding."

"Beyond being a good photographer, Sarah truly works to make her clients feel comfortable and special during her sessions. She is incredibly personable and there were never any awkward, empty moments during our session! My fiancee and I were truly in the moment and Sarah allowed us to have candid, special moments together while she captured them for us to remember forever...Our day was stress-free thanks to her detailed planning...I absolutely recommend Sarah for anyone and everyone. We are forever thankful for her openness and hard work."
