A Coffee-Inspired Newborn Session on Long Island

Some sessions just feel like a warm hug. This in-home newborn shoot was one of them.

The moment I stepped into this family’s home, I could tell how much love surrounded their baby boy. The tones were soft and neutral, the air smelled faintly of coffee, and their little one snoozed through every setup like he’d done this a hundred times before.

The highlight of the day? A custom coffee-themed setup, a tiny nod to the family’s heritage and the comforting feeling of home. Nestled inside a burlap coffee sack surrounded by beans, he looked absolutely peaceful. Those small, thoughtful details turn a photo gallery into something that truly belongs to you.

In-home newborn sessions will always have my heart. They let me capture babies in the place where their first memories are made, no packing, no stress, just quiet moments and genuine connection. Each pose, from the classic chin on hands to the dreamy wrapped portraits, showed off his calm personality and all that new-baby sweetness.

These early weeks fly by, and my goal is always to create something timeless. Something you’ll look back on years later and feel that same tiny heartbeat against your chest.

If that sounds like what you want for your baby’s photos, an in-home session might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
