Edmonton Newborn: Arika

Gour and Monalisha welcomed me into their home a few weeks ago to photograph their little princess, Arika. She was so sweet and it was a fun shoot! I have been wanting to do more and more lifestyle sessions at people's homes. These two provided some ideas that we incorporated into it as well as some personal items! It is so special to include your baby's blankets and toys in a session, even just to remember how small they once were. I am already blown away that my own little is outgrowing some of his things.

Lifestyle sessions are so precious. I love going into someone's home and capturing sincere moments. Our photographed life is curated (let's be real) but it is also capturing real glances and smiles. I love how in these types of photographs, you can really feel the love between husband and wife or mother/father and child. In this case, it was so genuine and authentic. Many love the studio style portrait when it comes to families and newborns (which is still awesome!) but I have to say, I am an advocate for these lifestyle sessions. I am totally in love with them!
