Summer Newborn At Home

Step into this cozy world where the summer sun streams through the windows, casting a soft glow over their morning routine. In a recent documentary photo session at home, I captured the magic of everyday moments as they welcomed their newest addition, a sweet newborn, into the fold. Starting with coffee, jammies, and morning yawns, the scene was set for a relaxed and authentic glimpse into their family life.

As the day began, the aroma of pancakes filled the air, beckoning some to the kitchen. With flour dusting the countertops and laughter filling the room, Dad and older brother bonded over the simple pleasure of flipping pancakes together. With each golden stack, the anticipation of a delicious breakfast grew, mirroring the excitement of their expanding family.

In the living room, toys scattered across the floor told tales of endless adventures and imaginative play. From Lincoln Log buildings to flying airplanes, every toy held a cherished memory and a promise of new discoveries yet to come. Against this backdrop of childhood wonder and creativity, these brothers will forge a bond that will last a lifetime.

As the day wore on, the pace slowed, and the family found solace in the simple pleasure of being together. Dad and Baby nestled into the cozy embrace of the couch for a late morning nap, their bond growing stronger with each tender moment shared.

I made pictures of the laughter, the love, and the quiet moments of connection that make life truly meaningful. In a world that moves at breakneck speed, this family remind us all to pause, to savor the sweetness of each passing moment, and to find beauty in the ordinary.

Our hearts were full, knowing that we had captured the magic of summer mornings—a treasure trove of memories to be cherished for years to come.

5 star review for Jen Lucas Photography

“Jen is fantastic. Her style of photojournalism is absolutely artful – from the light and framing of the photography, to her easy, subtle journalistic way of coaxing out stories and allowing her subjects to truly be themselves. I absolutely love having Jen photograph our family. She did a beautiful job capturing our time with our newborn. We are going to be clients for life! I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
