In-Home Newborn Photography in Middleton Mountain, Coldstream, BC
During this in-home newborn session in Middleton Mountain, Coldstream, we let those moments happen as they came. Some photographs were quiet and sleepy, others full of little expressions and connection. There were the natural, instinctive ways these new parents held their baby, the closeness of having their little one in their arms, and the kind of tenderness that doesn't need to be prompted.
The Beauty of an Awake Newborn | Vancouver & Kelowna Newborn Photographer
One of the most common concerns I hear from parents before their newborn session is, "What if my baby doesn't sleep?". The good news? Your baby doesn't need to sleep for beautiful newborn photographs.
Glenmore Newborn Photography | An In-Home Session with Baby and Two Dogs
With just Mom, Dad, their sweet new baby, and two very lovable dogs, we focused on genuine connection instead of posed perfection. One of my favourite moments was photographing the whole family cuddled together on the bed. The dogs were curious, gentle, and completely stole the show in a few priceless images.
Kelowna Newborn Photography at Home | A Sweet Session with Two Brothers
As a fully mobile Kelowna newborn photographer, I bring everything needed for your session right to your home. For this family, the kitchen happened to have the most beautiful natural light, so we photographed the entire session there. You'd never know it from the final images though. I carefully compose each photo to keep the focus on your family, not the background, creating timeless images that feel calm and natural.
Including Pets in Your Newborn Photography Session | Vancouver & Okanagan Photographer
One of the biggest advantages of an in-home newborn session is that your pet can remain comfortable in their own environment. There's no need to worry about unfamiliar locations or stressful outings. Whether you have a loyal dog, a curious cat, or another furry companion, we can often incorporate them into a few meaningful images that help tell the complete story of your growing family.
Why It's So Important to Photograph Parents, Not Just the Baby | Newborn Photographer
Many new parents hesitate to step in front of the camera. You're adjusting to life with a newborn, likely running on little sleep, and may not feel your best. It's completely understandable. Yet these are often the photographs that become the most meaningful over time.
Why In-Home Newborn Photography and Natural Light Are the Perfect Combination
Natural light also helps create a calm environment for both babies and parents. There are no bright flashes or complicated setups—just gentle light streaming through your windows and illuminating the moments that matter most.
Why Including Grandparents in Your Newborn Session Creates Meaningful Family Heirlooms
At Kim Forrester Photography, we love welcoming extended family members into our in-home newborn sessions. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and even beloved family pets all play an important role in a baby's story, and capturing those connections creates photographs that become treasured family heirlooms for generations.

Three Generations | Vancouver, Vernon & Kelowna Newborn Photographer
This sweet at-home newborn session in North Vancouver was filled with quiet moments, soft light, and so much love between Mom and her new baby girl. Grandma was there too helping our new mom out, and although she initially didn’t want to be in the photos, I gently encouraged her. I promised the photos would focus on the connection, not perfection, and that she’d be glad she joined in.
