Our Services

I really love when a nursery shows little snippets of who the parent(s) are and what they value – and what they hope their child will love, too. For us? That was vintage (did you know that I had a vintage shop in a past life), bright colors, wooden toys, and tons of books. Once I found a giant – and I mean GIANT, this thing is about 4 feet high – vintage letter E from an old sign, I knew I had to plan Everett’s nursery around that. Baby George’s nursery was a celebration of travel and exploration in his Adventure Themed Nursery

Adventure Themed Nursery

What is the theme of your nursery? 

I wanted to make it adventurous while also not sticking to one theme! My hope is that he grows up with a sense of wonder about the world and an eagerness to travel and learn. Hence the sailboats, airplanes, globe, and safari animals!

What was the inspiration for your nursery design?

Our love for travel & seeing different parts of the world.

Did you include any sentimental items in your nursery, or items from your childhood? If so, please share their story! 

Yes! The giraffe and zebra prints as well as the wooden dresser were in my younger brothers rooms when they were young.

What is the most used item in your nursery? What item would you recommend for first time parents? 

The nursery glider/recliner we got from crate & barrel. We are in it all the time holding him & feeding him so definitely recommend getting a good, quality recliner that you can relax in with your baby!

Did you experience any challenges with your nursery design?

Yes, my husband did not want to add the wainscoating to the walls but I pushed on the issue and I’m so glad we added them because they make the room feel complete. I put them up myself at 7 months pregnant! Lol

Is there anything else you’d like to share about your nursery?

I wanted this to feel like a cozy, safe place that encourages our son to dream big and I think it does just that!

Any final tips or advice?

Don’t feel like you have to be tied down to one theme…add things that have meaning to you and that you love to make the space feel personal!

I hope George’s nursery & tips are helpful as you prepare your baby’s nursery! Photographing your baby at home is so special – I’ll never forget bringing my son home and how our house suddenly felt more alive than ever. We’ve since moved, but it holds such a special place in my heart because it’s the first place I became a mother. If you’re looking for a Philadelphia in-home newborn photographer, I’d love to hear more about your family!
