In-Home Motherhood Session with Nicole, Nolan, and Zeke
This session was recently published to the Nashville Baby Guide Blog!
Be still my heart! I adore this session. Nolan was ready to greet me immediately by showing me his camera and the photos he can take with it. Zeke made a lasting impression on me with his love of ice-cream and his stuffed dog!
This family is one after my own heart. While Nicole was with me and the boys for the session, her husband was in the kitchen taking care of snacks (ever important to an in-home session!) and making elderberry syrup for the family’s immunity. Their home is one filled with happiness, devotion, and creativity. It make me happy just to be there.
Let’s discuss a good tip for a successful in-home session. If you have an ice-cream bribe for the end of a session for your little children, also have easy foods they can snack on along the way to keep them happy. Sometimes the littles just don’t have the understanding and patience to wait an hour for that ice-cream. You know your kids better than anyone, so you know what their patience level is.

I will always try to grab portraits of just the kids during each session. This doesn’t always happen or go to plan, it’s hugely dependent on their moods. In this case, these little brothers were rockstars!!
I am so drawn to in-home sessions because while there is some posing and coaxing done by me, it is YOUR story still. Kids are always in charge and that’s what makes each session different and authentic. This is a moment Nicole lives out daily with her boys climbing in the window just to jump off onto the sofa. And I love it!!
Zeke and his stuffy! What a love story they have. I hope Nicole is able to keep it forever.
My kids are well past this read-aloud cute book stage, but I haven’t been able to part with all of our special books yet.
