I can’t tell you how special this session was! I’ve photographed Mackenzie and Ian before — I even captured their wedding — so getting to meet baby Simon and see them as parents was the best kind of full-circle moment. Their in-home newborn session in Kansas City was cozy, colorful, and perfectly them.

A Home That Tells Their Story

Mackenzie and Ian’s home feels like a reflection of who they are — creative, warm, and a little bit quirky in the best way. From the crochet blankets to the vintage wall art, every corner had something that made me smile. It’s always such a treat when clients choose to have their newborn session at home. There’s something about being in your own space that makes the photographs feel so natural and real.

Meeting Baby Simon

And then there’s Simon — the star of the show! This sweet boy already has the most expressive little face. He was so calm during the session, taking in the world with those curious eyes. Mackenzie and Ian were naturals, relaxed and happy as they cuddled him on the couch and in his adorable nursery.

The details made this session extra special — Simon’s personalized onesie, the tiny knitted booties, and that cozy blanket that tied it all together. These little touches are what make in-home sessions feel so authentic.

Why I Love In-Home Sessions

There’s just something so honest about capturing families in their own space. You can feel the love in every image — the laughter in the kitchen, the quiet moments in the nursery, the little looks between new parents that say, “Can you believe he’s ours?”

Mackenzie and Ian, thank you for inviting me back to document this next chapter. Watching your family grow has been such an honor, and I couldn’t be happier for you three.

If you’re welcoming a new baby soon and want a session that feels relaxed, personal, and full of love, an in-home newborn session in Kansas City is the perfect choice. Let’s capture the sweet, real moments that make your family’s story uniquely yours.
