20 At Home Newborn Pictures With Dog

I’m so excited to share this sweet in-home newborn session from Saint Paul. This cozy morning session was extra special because it included a sweet baby girl and her furry best friend.

I had the joy of photographing a wonderful couple as they stepped into their new roles as first-time parents.

From the moment I arrived, the whole atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. We spent a few minutes chatting about their move to Minnesota and how they found me.

Like most newborn sessions, our conversation naturally turned to life with a new baby, sleepless nights, little milestones, and the whirlwind of early parenthood.

Their home had such beautiful light, especially in the bright sunroom and the nursery. These two spaces became the perfect backdrop for their photos.

The baby girl was peaceful through the entire session, which made everything flow so smoothly. Mom looked lovely in a light, cheerful dress that photographed beautifully, and both parents were relaxed and trusting, which always makes the experience feel effortless.

The family was also set on including their dog in the photos, and he completely stole the show. With a few treats as motivation, he posed perfectly next to his baby sister. Some of those moments have become my absolute favorites from the day.

If you’re expecting or have recently welcomed your little one, I’d love to help capture these early days in your own home with simple, heartfelt photos that include every member of your family, paws and all.
