I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Lauren and Shahir’s beautiful in-home family portrait session in Sonoma. As a photographer, these intimate moments are what I live for—capturing the genuine love and connection within a family. This session was particularly special, with their adorable newborn baby boy and the sweetest bernedoodle, Griffey, being the stars of the day.

From the moment I walked into their cozy home, I was greeted with warmth and excitement. Lauren and Shahir’s home was the perfect backdrop for our session. The natural light spilling through the windows provided a soft, airy ambiance that highlighted the tender moments shared between them and their little one.

One of the highlights of our session was the family’s playful bernedoodle, Griffey. He had an infectious energy that made for some truly heartwarming photos. Griffey’s gentle and protective nature around his newborn brother was a sight to behold. Their bond, even at such an early stage, was palpable and deeply moving.

Watching Lauren and Shahir interact with their baby boy was an absolute delight. Their love and pride shone through in every frame. Whether it was a tender kiss on the baby’s forehead or a playful tickle, these moments were beautifully genuine and packed with emotion.

Throughout the session, I was able to capture a variety of candid and posed shots. Each photograph told a unique story of their family’s newest chapter. The baby’s innocent expressions, Griffey’s joyful antics, and the pure love between Lauren and Shahir came together to create a collage of memories that I know they will cherish forever.

In-home sessions hold a special place in my heart because they allow for a more personal and relaxed atmosphere. Families can be themselves, surrounded by the comforts of home, which often results in the most authentic and heartfelt images. Lauren and Shahir’s session was no exception.

I am incredibly grateful to have been a part of capturing these precious moments for Lauren and Shahir. Their Sonoma family portrait session was a beautiful reminder of the joy and wonder that comes with welcoming a new member into the family. And, of course, it was made all the more special by their loving bernedoodle, Griffey, whose presence brought so much warmth and joy to the photos.

Thank you, Lauren and Shahir, for inviting me into your home and allowing me to document these treasured memories. I wish your family a lifetime of happiness and love.

For those considering an in-home family portrait session, remember that these sessions offer a unique and personal way to capture your family’s story.
