How to prepare for an In-Home Newborn Session

When I look at old photos from my childhood taken at my childhood home, I feel nostalgia over a couch or a toy or a piece of artwork. The image of an old cabinet or a vase is very special. It is like a window to the past that allows to remember everything in great little details.  

I feel the same nostalgia when I look at photos I took of my kids at a home we no longer live in, or on a couch we don't own anymore. 

It is only natural that many of you stress out about having a photography session in your home. It’s too messy! It’s not Pinterest-worthy! It’s too small! Don't let these thoughts hold you back from capturing your family at your natural environment. As a Bay Area Newborn and family photographer I am here to give you some tips  to help you prepare your home for an in home newborn photography session.
