This Kansas City newborn session truly saved the day for this young Brookside family! At first we scheduled a lifestyle maternity photoshoot. They were going to wear casual jeans and shirts, paint their walls, and drink coffee. This mom-to-be was excited about our photoshoot idea, but life had other plans. Just as I was preparing for the shoot a day prior to our scheduled session, mom went into labor! Instead of a maternity session, I ended up painting their newly purchased house with the help of a few friends (they hadn’t even moved in yet!). It was a beautiful and spontaneous way to support them in those last moments before baby George arrived.
Newborn session saves the day
Fast forward a few weeks, and I was invited back to their new home in the charming Brookside neighborhood of Kansas City. Their newborn son George had already captured their hearts. It was time to document these precious early moments!
When I arrived at their home for the lifestyle newborn session, only one room was fully finished and decorated, but we made it work beautifully! Despite the chaos of boxes and unpacked furniture in other rooms, we embraced the cozy, intimate feel of the space that was ready for their new arrival. The result? A stunning gallery of newborn portraits that truly captured the love and warmth of their new family. Sometimes, simplicity and authenticity make the most memorable moments! 🙂
