There’s something incredibly honest about lifestyle newborn photography. Few props, no fanfare—just a tiny new person meeting the world for the first time, and two parents settling into the rhythm of their new reality. This at-home Vancouver session was full of beautiful, unscripted moments. Their wide-eyed newborn stayed awake for much of the shoot, offering so much personality and connection through the lens.

We all love those sleepy newborn photos but we can’t forget about older babies past the 2-week newborn range. Why? You get these incredible awake baby photos full of expression and connection that are so sweet and heartfelt. It is never too late to capture images of your new baby, trust us when we say they grow so quickly and change so much from week-to-week especially in the first year.
