There’s something uniquely special about in-home newborn photography in San Diego. As a family photographer and a mama myself, I love capturing the intimate, relaxed energy that only comes from being in the comfort of your own home. This session with baby Wes, his sweet parents, and their adorable dog Eddie was no exception.

In-home sessions are ideal for new parents because they let you document the season of life and have memories for life. Your home becomes the backdrop, filled with personal touches like a cozy nursery, soft blankets, and meaningful keepsakes. For this shoot, we used soft natural light from the living room windows and the cozy, neutral tones of the bedroom to create timeless, heartfelt images.

Baby Wes was a dream to photograph—sleepy, snuggly, and full of those tiny newborn details that make these moments so sweet. Eddie, the family’s cute AF mini sheepdog, was also eager to be part of the session. Including pets in newborn sessions adds such a sweet layer of love and personality to the photos.

If you’re considering an in-home newborn photoshoot in San Diego, it’s a fantastic way to document this precious time without the stress of leaving your home. Plus, in-home photography allows you to include siblings, both human and furry, for truly memorable photos.

Whether it’s a sleepy newborn in their crib, nursing photos to document the beginning of a journey, quiet moments with Mom and Dad in the nursery, or candid shots of the family pup cuddling close, these sessions are an authentic way to celebrate the first days of life. I can’t wait to help more families create memories like this in the comfort of their San Diego homes.
