Hi! I’m Kellie, a family newborn photographer in Northville, MI. I specialize in warm and happy feeling photography for family, maternity and newborn sessions in the Metro Detroit area.
This beautiful family welcomed their 3rd baby into the world, and I was lucky enough to be their family newborn photographer! Whenever a client hires me to photograph them, I always ask what they envision for their session. I love hearing the different ideas people have for their session. These were Amber’s thoughts on how she imagined the session to be: “I’d love to get natural pictures of all of us together in our own home. I want to remember us exactly as we are and this wonderful home we have so many memories in. The biggest thing that is important to me is our family shot, and then a sibling shot that I can cherish forever.” That just aligns sooo well with my own vision for sessions 🥰
They made it so easy to accomplish all of that. You can tell that they are genuinely happy as a family, and just so kind. I shot this session months ago, and I still cant get over how polite and sweet brother and sister were. They loved being involved in the session, and as a mom of 2 myself (and a mom who photographs my kids nonstop), that can be tricky. Not with these two!
For my family newborn sessions, I love to include the siblings. I usually start with all of my must get shots right at the beginning of my session- just in case anyone under six years old decides they’re uninterested at a certain point in time 😂 I like to get photos of the whole family together, then photos of siblings with their new baby. I also always start by showing lots of interest in anything the younger kids are doing. I feel like that helps ease them into the session, but also shows them that I’m not just there for the new baby. You can see more about how I include siblings in my sessions here!
I couldn’t be happier with how this whole session turned out!
