Luka’s lifestyle in-home newborn session | Rocky River, Ohio

This session was a perfect reminder that there’s no such thing as too late when it comes to documenting your baby. While newborn sessions are typically recommended between 1–3 weeks old— when babies are still extra sleepy and curled— this session took place when Luka was already 7 weeks old. And honestly… it was magic! At this stage, his personality was already peeking through: more eye contact, tiny expressions, and sweet moments of connection with his parents in the comfort of their own home.

Lifestyle newborn sessions are all about real life— slow mornings, feeding breaks, snuggles on the couch, and the in-between moments that make this season of Motherhood unforgettable. This newborn session felt especially meaningful because this family chose to continue documenting Luka’s first year, already booking three additional sessions to capture his quarterly milestones. From newborn days to sitting, crawling, and beyond, these sessions will tell a full, honest story of his first year of life— exactly as it unfolds.

If you’re searching for a newborn photographer and feel like you’ve missed the “perfect” window, let this be your sign: it’s never too late to document your baby and the season you’re in.
