Lifestyle Newborn Session in Arkansas by Colorado Photographer
I was lucky enough to travel to Arkansas and spend time with this sweet family to document their new baby boy, Knight with an in-home newborn session. David and Shereka were so welcoming when I arrived at their home. They let me do my thing by finding great little pockets of light throughout their home and I think that the spots I found worked perfectly for this session.
Their home was quite dark with little natural light access. I found some light by their backdoor out of their bedroom and also in a bathroom by the window, a lovely spot in one of their older sons’ rooms that I could use, as well as a nice shaded area between their garage and house. I moved around some furniture and set it up for making use of the light that I had. It was perfect.

Why am I telling you all of this? I want you to see that even if you don’t feel that your home will do well for a newborn session, I can help find those sweet spots and have the end results look just as amazing as these images here. For those first few images, we are snuggled up against the backdoor you see if that slideshow image above this text. I used that natural light to highlight mama and babe and the bedroom in the background is turned into an afterthought with the dark lighting. We will make it work, no matter what we are working with. Promise.
Have you been pondering a newborn session? Don’t feel like you can’t have one because of your space or available light. Let me take care of that for you! Don’t worry about it and just let all that stress go and focus on letting me capture some of these beautiful moments that you’ll want to remember. Talk soon!
Family Session at Pinnacle Mountain State Park with Colorado Photographer
Shooting in a new space made me feel alive. It made me feel growth and excitement. It made me feel happy. I am looking forward to all of the travel sessions that I have the honor of doing this year and all of the beautiful places I will get to see. Seeing the earth is such a gift.
My family and I recently visited Arkansas to celebrate my father-in-laws birthday. I had only met him once before and tickets were dirt cheap so it felt like the perfect opportunity to get to know him better. We enjoyed the time we spent and make some memories that I will be forever grateful for.
I started looking over my plans for this year, business-wise and realized that I am going to be doing quite a bit of traveling. Of course, that got my wheels turning and with the blessing of my sweet husband, I decided to offer a limited number of travel sessions during these trips. I just got back from my first one and WOW, all I can say is that it felt amazing to shoot in a place foreign to me. Abbie owns and operates Peace Love Photography - AR in Little Rock, Arkansas.
On the morning of her family session, I scouted out Pinnacle Mountain State Park and found twisted trees, a creek, texture, light and all the things I could have hoped for. Abbie and her boys met me that evening and we strolled as though we were old friends watching her boys play. It was magical and moving. Abbie has the heart of a boy mom, I can tell. They love her with all their might. Always someone holding her hand or asking for a kiss. Her oldest, Greyson, fell into the water a bit, she didn’t even flinch. She laughed it off and we carried on. Abbie, you are such a truly sweet soul.

I hope I can always be able to do this beautiful thing that I love and reach for all that I could dream. Thank you, Abbie and boys, for allowing me to document this love you hold in your hearts. Much love mama. -S
