Welcoming Baby Cody | A Sentimental In-Home Newborn Session in Cary, NC

Some babies come into the world with a little extra light, and Baby Cody is one of them.

After a season of loss, his parents finally welcomed him into their arms—a piece of sunshine they had been longing for. Fittingly, his nursery told that story beautifully. Soft yellows, delicate sun motifs, and warmth were woven into every detail. Even his tiny onesie carried the sweetest message: You are my sunshine.

From the moment I stepped into their home for in-home newborn photos in Cary, NC, I could feel the love in the air. It wasn’t just between Cody and his parents; it radiated from every corner of their home—including their two furry family members, who were just as excited about his arrival.

A Timeless, Warm, and Love-Filled Newborn Session

In-home newborn sessions are special for so many reasons, but this one felt extra meaningful. We weren’t just capturing baby Cody’s first days. We were also celebrating the journey that brought him here.

With his two loyal pups by his side, we spent the morning documenting moments that will one day feel like a dream. His tiny fingers curled around his mama’s hand. His dad gazed at him like he was the greatest gift on earth. Gentle paws rested nearby, already protective of their newest family member.

And the nursery? Not only was it a beautifully designed space, it was also a symbol of hope and love. Cody’s nursery reflected the deep longing for a baby cherished long before he arrived.

Why I Love In-Home Newborn Photos

There’s something special about documenting a baby’s first days in the space where they will grow up. It’s where their first laughs will echo, where bedtime snuggles will turn into bedtime stories, and where life unfolds in the most beautiful and ordinary ways.

In-home newborn photos let us capture your family in the most authentic way. There are no forced poses or rushing to a studio—just you, your baby, and the little moments that make up these fleeting days.

For Cody’s family, that meant…

  • Snuggles in the nursery, surrounded by sunshine.
  • Sweet, sleepy moments in their arms.
  • Two pups keeping a watchful eye on their newest family member.

The details that matter most aren’t always the ones we plan for. They’re the quiet moments, the tiny hands, and the love that fills a home.

One Day, These Photos Will Be Their Memories

Right now, these images are just a reflection of their present—a baby fresh from heaven, parents soaking in every moment, dogs learning the new normal.

But one day, Cody will grow up and flip through these photos, fondly reliving the story of his earliest days.

  • He’ll see the nursery that was created just for him.
  • He’ll see the way his parents looked at him with overwhelming love.
  • He’ll see the dogs who were right by his side from the very beginning.

And he’ll know—he was their sunshine.
