Lifestyle Newborn Session _ Baby Matteo

Starting the new year right with a brand new blog post!

I admit, I have not been taking care of my blog as much as I should. When we designed this website, I had a goal to blog on a consistent basis and showcase all the beautiful sessions. So far, it’s not being used up to its max optimal, rather, just a place where I announced and booked mini sessions. Well, having two kids at home 24/7 did take me by surprise and make me readjust our priorities. With the new year, there comes an opportunity to reset and start everything all over again. I love that. I don’t have a lot of major changes around here, and the kids are still home with me, but I am learning to set new boundaries. I accept the fact that I cannot work as many hours as I did before, but I could create a rhythm that will allow me to show up for my business and my clients more consistently, while still giving my children the best of me. That’s a goal!

Anyway, back to this session. It was a beautiful September day when I came to photograph Giulia’s family and her newborn son, Matteo at their home in Oakville. There are so many things that I loved about this session. First, the gorgeous light. Although in-home sessions are weatherproof, a sunny day makes a HUGE difference in your photos compared to a cloudy/dark rainy day. Giulia’s living room and nursery were filled with light at the time of the session, and my heart danced. The light created the creamy, soft images that you see below.

Secondly, the outfits. Giulia did an amazing job in coordinating everyone’s outfits, especially Matteo’s. I love all baby’s clothes, but Matteo’s was the cutest. While I did his portrait, he moved and showed his belly button, and that has been one of my most favourite shots.

And lastly, the energy of her toddler. The laugh, the silliness, the jumping around, and the little quiet moment when she played with the sunflower…all made the session so fun and created plenty of moments for me to capture. They did end up with a HUGE gallery because I just couldn’t stop myself from shooting lol.

Lifestyle newborn session is forever one of my favourite sessions, because I get to capture the most special season of a family, and their unique story. I hope you love the photos below. Make sure to let me know which photo is your favourite ;).

Warmest,

Lucy.
