There’s something so tender, so sacred, about being invited into someone’s home for an in home newborn photography session in the early days of life. It’s quiet, full of love and real moments—the ones that aren’t posed, but unfold naturally when a family is simply being together.

This in-home newborn photography session in Greenville, South Carolina is extra special to me—not just because baby Mason is the squishiest little guy ever (seriously, those cheeks!), but because I’ve had the honor of walking with Maria and Daniel through so many beautiful seasons of life.

From maternity photos in Charleston to their first daughter’s newborn portraits, first birthday smash cake session, family photos, and now another newborn—I’ve watched their love grow, and their family grow right alongside it. And I’ll just say it: photographing these moments never gets old. In fact, it’s why I do what I do.

A Story Unfolding in Their Own Space

There’s a unique magic to in-home newborn sessions. No rushing out the door or packing the diaper bag—just staying home and capturing the beauty of everyday life—exactly as it is.

And that’s just what we embraced with the Schultz family. A quiet February morning gave us dreamy window light (shoutout to that soft glow bouncing off the nursery walls), and we let the session flow around what Harper and Mason needed in the moment.

Maria and Daniel snuggled their newest addition with the sweetest calm energy (how do you look that well rested with two littles? Iconic). Meanwhile, Harper brought the BIG SISTER ENERGY, twirling, helping, and occasionally stealing the spotlight in the cutest ways.

And y’all, this wasn’t just a photoshoot—it was a moment of pause. A deep breath. A celebration of this chapter in their story.

Why In-Home Newborn Photography Just Hits Different

I’ll always love a pretty backdrop or styled shoot, but there’s something about photographing a family in their home that captures the soul of a season.

The baby blanket lovingly tucked into the crib. The soft hum of morning light across the nursery walls. The way you instinctively hold your little one close—whether it’s your first time or your fifth. These are the details you’ll want to remember. Not just how it all looked, but how it felt.

Your home holds the heartbeat of your everyday life. And when we freeze those moments in time? We’re creating art that’s uniquely yours.

A Relationship That’s Grown Alongside Their Family

A little backstory (because this one makes my heart burst): I met Maria years ago at a bridal shop—she was picking up her sister Melanie’s wedding dress. I handed her a business card, not knowing that one little connection would lead to years of sweet memories, trust, and the most beautiful client-turned-friend relationship.

Fast forward to today, and Maria and her family are truly part of the Ely Lynn fam forever. She even shared this after our session:

“Ely – THESE ARE AMAZING! Thank you so so much!! We love them! You always do such a great job – we’re so grateful to have these memories captured!“

Moments like this are such a reminder of how meaningful it is to have a photographer you trust—not just for one day, but for all the milestones to come.

Client Love

“I can’t say enough good things about Ely! She has captured some of our families most precious moments, and we are so grateful! She makes her clients feel confident in front of the camera (which is a huge plus for someone like me!). Fun, easy, and great to work with! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
