One of my favorite things about being a photographer is how my career allows me to connect and reconnect with people. This momma and I grew up in Morristown, Tennessee together. I remember lifeguarding at the Morristown Country Club while she ran walked around the pool. Yes, that dates me but it also brings back such good memories.
I was beyond thrilled when she contacted me about a newborn lifestyle session in their new Charlotte home. We meet on a warm September morning and utilized spaces both inside and outside of their home including the master bedroom, nursery, guest room and big sister’s room. I love the real life seen in these images – a curious (and adorably silly) big sister, father and son bonding, and a mother with her hands and heart so full. Thank you Clark family for inviting me into your home to document this special time. I can’t believe how fast both of your babies are growing. Seeing them change makes me so so so happy that we have these newborn images to treasure forever. Love you all!
Thank you for taking time to view a few of my favorite moments from this sweet baby boy’s newborn session at home in Charlotte. Click here to see more newborn photography sessions that have been featured on the blog.
