The Dacus Family Newborn + Family Session in Nashville, TN
The Dacus family recently welcomed sweet baby Collins, and this newborn photography home session was especially meaningful. Megan had been waiting over eight years to welcome a baby girl, and seeing her hold Collins in her own home was incredibly special.
Big brothers Harper and Brooks were gentle, affectionate, and so proud of their new role. They loved being part of the session, especially because they got to hold their baby sister and give her forehead kisses. Moments like these are exactly why a newborn photography home session matters. It gives families space to slow down and simply be together.
Why a Newborn Photography Home Session Is So Meaningful
An in-home newborn session allows families to stay comfortable while documenting this short season of life. There is no rushing out the door or worrying about schedules. Everything happens at your pace.
During this newborn photography home session, the Dacus family settled in, loved on their new baby sister, and focused on some of the sweetest poses Megan had been dreaming about for years (she had thought she was going to be only a boy mom). We wanted to capture some moments between the boys and their new baby sister! These are the moments that tend to matter more as time passes.
