There is something so special about being invited back into a family's story.

I've had the joy of photographing this family through some of their sweetest seasons—starting with their older boys' newborn sessions, then their six-month and one-year milestone sessions. So when they welcomed not one, but two more little ones, I was absolutely thrilled to step back into their home and document this next chapter.


Now, they're a family of six. 🤍

For this in-home lifestyle newborn session in Columbia, Missouri, we kept things simple and relaxed, just their home, their babies, their boys, and all of the beautiful little moments that make this season theirs.

Twins bring an entirely new kind of sweetness—and a little bit of beautiful chaos, too.

I loved watching their older boys step into their new roles as big brothers, snuggling their baby brother and sister and soaking in all the excitement that comes with having two new babies at home. Those are the moments I love most about lifestyle newborn photography: the ones that happen naturally when everyone is simply together.


And for me, getting to photograph these babies felt especially meaningful because I've photographed their family before.

I've watched their older boys grow in front of my camera, from their first days as newborns through their first year. To now photograph their family again, with two more little personalities joining the story, feels like such a gift.


This is why I love photographing families through more than just one season.

Your babies won't always be this tiny. Your toddlers won't always be running through the house. Your family won't always look exactly like it does today.

But these photographs can hold onto it for you.

The noise, the cuddles, the chaos, the connection, and the love.

Welcome home, sweet babies. Your family of six is pretty wonderful. 🤍
