Welcoming a new little one into the family is always such an exciting time, and what better way to capture that magic than with a personalized in-home maternity session? For the Lavender family, who are expecting a new baby sister, we brought the studio experience right to their doorstep in Birmingham, Alabama.

Creating Intimate Moments in the Comfort of an In-Home Maternity Session

One of the beautiful things about an in-home maternity session is the comfort and intimacy it offers. The Lavender family’s cozy home provided the perfect setting to capture natural, heartfelt moments in a familiar and warm environment. Rather than rushing to a studio, they got to enjoy this special time in the place where they’re already creating memories—surrounded by their personal space, belongings, and the warmth of family.

A portable backdrop allowed us to create stunning, studio style portraits that showcase the beauty of this new chapter in their lives. Whether we were using the clean, neutral backdrop for more intimate, close-up shots or capturing the family interacting in a cozy corner of their home, each frame highlighted the love and joy they’re feeling as they prepare for baby girl’s arrival.

The Lavender Family: Becoming a Family of Four…

Big brother (or sister) moments are always heartwarming during a maternity session, and with the Lavender family, we were able to capture that beautiful excitement and anticipation. The way Ivan loved on mom, rubbing her belly and talking to the baby, was the absolute sweetest. Even four-legged brother Yogi couldn’t wait to show off his little sister coming soon! It’s clear that these new siblings will be best buddies from the very start!

A Memory to Cherish Forever

As we wrapped up the Lavender family’s session, it was clear that these photos would be treasured for years to come. Every smile, every touch, every glance exchanged between the family members told a beautiful story of a loving family waiting to welcome a new member with open arms. The joy and excitement they felt were palpable, and these photos are a perfect reflection of that anticipation.

For families like the Lavenders, who want to celebrate a new chapter in their lives in a way that’s both personal as well as studio style, an in-home maternity session with a portable backdrop is the perfect solution. It combines the intimacy of home with the beauty of studio-quality images—making it a beautiful and stress-free way to document the journey of motherhood.

Welcoming Baby Sister, Lavender Family Style

In just a few short weeks, the Lavender family will be welcoming their new baby girl into the world. I have no doubt that she’ll be surrounded by love, laughter, and support from her big sibling and parents. And thanks to this maternity session, they now have these gorgeous, timeless photos to look back on as they remember this special moment in time.

Here’s to the Lavender family’s growing family, and to all the joy that’s about to come with the arrival of their baby sister!
