Rainy Day Light & Real Life Love

Some days just stick with you.

This particular morning in South Boston, the skies were gray, the rain was steady, and inside a cozy home, love was overflowing. It was the kind of day where the weather gently nudges everyone to stay in, snuggle close, and slow down. And honestly? It was the perfect kind of day to welcome a newborn session.

This beautiful family had just welcomed their fourth baby girl—yes, fourth! Their home was filled with the joyful chaos that only a house with multiple little ones can bring. And at the center of it all was this sweet, sleepy newborn, surrounded by the chatter, energy, and tender affection of her big sisters.

What I love about in-home newborn sessions—especially on a rainy day—is how relaxed and authentic everything feels. The soft light filtering through the windows, the sound of rain tapping on the glass, the worn-in comfort of home… it all creates the most heartfelt backdrop. We captured big sister cuddles on the couch, snack breaks at the kitchen counter, and quiet moments in the nursery as mom and dad took turns soaking in their newest little love.

The truth is, you don’t need a perfectly styled home or ideal weather for a beautiful session. You just need connection. A house full of life. Real love. That’s what photographs well. That’s what lasts.

This family had it all—personality, playfulness, and deep, tender love. The kind that speaks louder than any prop or perfect pose ever could. Every moment, from goofy sibling giggles to peaceful newborn snuggles, told their story in a way that felt honest and rich with meaning.

So if you’re feeling unsure about an in-home session—maybe your house feels too small, or it’s not “photo-ready”—I want to gently remind you: your home already holds your story. And it’s the perfect place to capture the magic of your growing family. Rain or shine.
