NEWBORN PORTRAITURE
There is only one chance to capture the first days of your baby’s life — and they pass in the blink of an eye. The tiny toes, the soft wrinkles, the peeling skin, the impossibly small features that change almost overnight. My newborn sessions are crafted to preserve every one of these delicate details, in a setting designed entirely for your baby’s comfort and safety.
Trained by some of the most respected newborn photographers in the country in both newborn safety and posing technique, I bring a level of expertise and intentionality that defines the experience. You can rest assured your baby is in expert, caring hands throughout every moment of the session.

Let’s Connect – “Starting Your Newborn’s Photo Journey”
Begin with an inquiry — ideally during your second trimester so I have ample time to plan. I will personally respond within 48 hours to schedule your initial consultation. Together we will discuss your vision, your aesthetic, and how you would like your baby’s earliest days remembered. I will also walk you through the considered details that make this experience distinctive: my safety training, my heirloom styling, and the care taken with my smallest subjects.
Session Day – “Capturing the Magic”
On the day of your session, my studio becomes a quiet sanctuary built around your baby’s needs. The room is warmed, softly scented, and filled with calming sound. There is no rushing, no schedule pressing in — feedings, changes, and cuddles are simply part of the day. Sessions typically last between two and four hours, allowing every moment the time it deserves. You are welcome to rest while I create the imagery.
Pre-Consultation – “Designing Your Dream Shoot”
Once your session is reserved, we move into the design phase together. I will help you select your color palette, hand-pick wardrobe and props from my curated collection, choose styling that reflects your family’s aesthetic, and coordinate looks for parents and siblings if they will be joining. Every detail is reviewed in advance — so when your baby arrives and the session day comes, everything is already in place.
Final Images – “Your Memories, Ready to Cherish”
Once the session is complete, the anticipation builds for the final reveal. One week after the session we connect to review gallery of these timeless images, ready for you to choose your favorites that craft the story of your newborn’s early days. I will then personally edit each chosen image with the care that defines my studio’s signature style. Together we will design how these portraits will live in your home: heirloom albums, framed wall art, fine art prints, or curated folio boxes. Final pieces are typically delivered within two to four weeks of your selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the right time to book my photo session?
We recommend to schedule your newborn’s photo session ahead of time. This way, we can chat about how you’d like the session to look, the styling, props, color themes and go over any questions you might have. We know life gets really busy once your baby is here, so we’ll get all the planning done early to make things smoother for you.
What is the ideal timing for a newborn photo session after birth?
Newborn photo sessions are ideally done within the first 2-4 weeks after birth to capture the earliest moments of your baby’s life when they are still very sleepy and flexible. Ahead of your session, you’ll receive a simple Prep Guide with tips to get both you and your baby ready. We understand new parents have a lot on their plates, so our process is designed to be stress-free. Just bring your baby and their nourishment, and we will handle the details.
How long does a newborn session typically last?
Newborn sessions can last between 2-4 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, and comforting breaks to keep your baby content.
Can parents and siblings be included in the photos?
Absolutely, we love including family members in newborn sessions! It’s a great way to capture the new bond and celebrate your growing family.
Do I need to bring any props or accessories?
I provide a fully curated, heirloom-quality collection of wraps, bonnets, headbands, outfits, and props — all hand-selected and styled to coordinate with your chosen color palette. You are very welcome to bring meaningful personal pieces — a family heirloom, a special blanket, or a treasured keepsake — and I will incorporate them thoughtfully.
What if my baby is fussy during the session?
Babies are babies — and I plan for it. I am highly experienced in newborn soothing techniques and work with patience and gentleness throughout every session. Your baby’s comfort and safety always take precedence, and I have the time set aside to wait for the most peaceful moments naturally.
What should parents and siblings wear to the session.
Soft, solid tones in neutral or muted palettes work beautifully — creams, oatmeal, sage, dove grey, soft taupe — and keep the focus where it belongs: on your baby. I recommend avoiding logos, prominent patterns, or bright contrasting colors. Clothing should fit close to the body to maintain clean lines in the imagery, and please ensure hands and nails are well-groomed as they will be visible in the portraits. I will guide you through complete wardrobe selection during your design consultation.
