Destin Newborn Photographer | Studio Newborn Session
March 16, 2025
Charlie’s studio newborn session perfectly captured everything I adore about documenting this stage of motherhood—the quiet moments of snuggling your baby and the beautiful chaos that comes with a toddler in tow.
Newborn sessions are never just about the baby; they’re about the family as a whole, adjusting, bonding, and embracing this new chapter. From the moment Charlie’s session began, it was clear that he wanted to be close to his mom, soaking up all the warmth and comfort she provided. Meanwhile, his big brother, William, had his own ideas—running, playing, and keeping the energy high. Instead of trying to force a posed structure, we leaned into their natural rhythms, allowing the session to unfold in a way that truly reflected their family dynamic.
There’s something so special about capturing the in-between moments—the way a mother instinctively soothes her newborn, the giggles of a toddler bouncing around the studio, and the fleeting seconds where both children are in their mother’s arms at the same time. These are the moments that tell the story of early motherhood, the ones that might feel like a blur in the moment but will be cherished for years to come.
For any parent preparing for a studio newborn session, the best advice I can offer is to embrace the unpredictability. Babies need snuggles, toddlers need movement, and love is always the guiding force. Letting go of expectations and allowing your family’s unique dynamic to shine through results in the most authentic and heartwarming images.
Charlie’s session was a beautiful reminder of why I love what I do—preserving the fleeting, messy, and deeply emotional moments of early parenthood. These are the memories that matter most, the ones that tell the real story of love and family.
