Where your family’s becoming
is beautifully seen.
Welcome Home
Bringing your baby home is one of life’s most sacred thresholds… a tender, fleeting moment when your family’s story expands in the most beautiful way. A Welcome Home Session is designed to honor those first days of connection, love and quiet wonder.
Photographed in the comfort of your own home, these sessions capture the authentic rhythm of your new beginning… siblings meeting for the fist time, quiet cuddles, and the radiant glow of love filling your space.
These photographs are more than portraits. They are a storytelling experience - a sanctuary where your family’s becoming is beautifully seen.
What to Expect:
Welcome Home Newborn Sessions
in 3 Simple Steps
A Gentle Beginning
Get in touch with me about 3 months prior to the shoot to make sure I’m available. It’s best to book within the first 2 weeks of life. Once baby arrives you can text me and we can choose a date that works for both of us. I typically show up to your house around 10am and shoot for an hour (sometimes more if baby is fussy). I’ll also provide you with a guide so you feel ready for your session the day of.
2. A Heartfelt session
On the day, I’ll step quietly into your home, photographing the real beauty of your first days at home… cuddles, feedings, siblings meeting, and the quiet in-between moments that tell your story. I’ll provide gentle posing guidance for those family shots but mostly just natural connection.
3. A Legacy to hold
Within a few weeks, you’ll receive a beautifully curated gallery of images that reflect your family’s becoming. These photographs will become timeless heirlooms- the first chapter of your child’s story, preserved with care. Every session includes an 8x8 album and 4x6 prints.

What Clients Are Saying
“As my due date was approaching last summer, I started the search for a newborn photographer to capture precious photos of our daughter and family in the comfort of our own home. In reviewing Yelp and other sites, April K Photography appeared not only extremely affordable for all that was included in the newborn portfolio, but her style was also a great fit for what I was looking for...classic, simple, and pure.
We had our session with April when our little one was two weeks old, and despite our daughter’s fussy state of mind during 90% of our time with April, she was able to get many incredible photos of her and our family...including the dogs. She also captured the nursery in several amazing photos.
April remained calm and calming (for me!) while the baby fussed...she assured me we would get some great shots...and she did! She was fantastic to work with before, during, and after the shoot, and, as a result, we have gorgeous, extremely high quality photos of our sweet baby girl to cherish for a lifetime. Looking forward to working with April again someday”
“We are very happy repeat customers of April’s. She captured cherished moments of our newborn baby girl last September, and we just had April return to capture moments of her at one year. Her photography is simple, timeless, and beautiful. And I love that she provides a USB of all the skillfully and carefully edited proofs for printing at will. Several months after our daughter’s newborn shoot, April sent us a heart shaped Christmas ornament with a photo of our little one around Valentine’s Day. We love working with April because she is exceptionally thoughtful, friendly, patient with a crying newborn, dependable, and she is SO good at what she does. Enthusiastically recommend April K Photography! ”
“We had a great experience working with April. Her photographs of us and our newborn were amazing. She captured our family beautifully, and the photos will be treasured. She had a careful and gentle disposition in working with our baby. She was prompt and timely in all of our interactions, from phone calls to arrival at our home to delivery of photos. We were so pleased and loved working with her. ”
“We had a photo shoot this morning with April for our 11-day old baby, and I honestly haven’t been able to stop smiling all afternoon. Our baby was a bit fussy when she got here but she was patient and tried to get as many shots in between his cries, and then while I fed him she worked on setting up shots in the house and patio so we were good to go as soon as he calmed down. Once the baby was milk-drunk, we were able to really go to town and she got some incredible shots in!”
“April was super sweet (she clearly loves babies!) but also really sharp. There was never an awkward moment (like, hmm what should we do next?). She was in charge and we all felt very relaxed as she guided us through each shot. She sent me 5 pictures as a sneak peek a few hours after the shoot and I’ve been flipping through them over and over all afternoon. Each one deserves to be in a magazine, I swear! I could not recommend April enough. Can’t wait to have her capture our little one’s big milestones in the future”
