Returning to photograph a growing family is one of the most special parts of my job and this session was exactly that. I first met this sweet family a couple of years ago when they welcomed their first baby. This time, I walked back into their home to find two newborn baby girls and a big brother who is almost two… which meant their hands were very full.
Twin girls Bella and Addison joined the family, instantly doubling the love and the logistics. Life felt busy, loud, and wonderfully real, which is exactly why in-home newborn sessions like this one are so meaningful.
Real Life, Real Moments (With a Toddler in the Mix)
If you’ve ever had a toddler and brought new babies home, you already know: you truly never know what you’re going to get. Big brother was curious, energetic, and definitely a little chaotic… which is completely normal when his world just changed in a big way.
Instead of forcing perfection, we leaned into flexibility. We followed his cues, worked quickly when needed, and left space for breaks. And in between all of that movement, we captured genuinely sweet moments like tiny glances, gentle touches, and the early beginnings of sibling connection.
Those moments matter just as much as the calm ones.
Why In-Home Newborn Sessions Work So Well for Growing Families
Photographing this session in their home allowed everyone to stay grounded in a familiar space. There was no packing up, no rushing out the door, and no expectations for things to be quiet or perfectly styled.
In-home newborn sessions are especially helpful when:
- You’re adjusting to life with multiple children
- You want siblings to feel comfortable in their own space
- You want your photos to reflect real life, not a setup
The beauty comes from documenting the season exactly as it is… a little messy, very full, and deeply meaningful.
Twin Newborn Photography, Your Way
Bella and Addison’s session was a reminder that newborn photos don’t need to be quiet or controlled to be beautiful. Sometimes they’re filled with movement, snack breaks, and toddler energy and that’s okay.
Because years from now, these images won’t just show what your babies looked like. They’ll remind you what this season felt like.
If you’re welcoming a new baby or babies and want a newborn session that meets your family where you are, an in-home newborn session in Phoenix may be the perfect fit.
