There is nothing sweeter than capturing those first cozy days at home with a newborn. This lifestyle session was full of tender moments -- snuggles in soft natural light, quiet touches between new parents, and even their curious pup Charlie welcoming baby into the family.

From tiny fingers wrapped around mom and dad's hands to peaceful cuddles near in the nursery, every frame told a story.

We focused on candid, documentary-style images that reflected the love and connection in those early newborn days. Soft earth tones, gentle textures, and dreamy lighting to help created a relaxed and timeless feel. It was also a great depiction of the owner of Studio Elara, Marianna''s, work and her ability to bring life to an older home with colors and texture.
