Your Newborn Photography Experience

Welcome to the world of newborn photography, where the tiniest moments become the most cherished memories. Capturing the first days of your baby’s life through photographs is a heartfelt way to preserve their innocence, sweetness, and the overwhelming love that comes with welcoming a new addition to your family. These fleeting moments—tiny toes, delicate fingers, sleepy smiles—pass so quickly, but through timeless portraits, they can be treasured forever.

 

Newborn photography is more than just creating beautiful images; it’s about celebrating the beginning of your baby’s story and the joy they bring to your life. My approach is centered on creating a calm and nurturing studio environment where you and your little one feel completely at ease. Every newborn portrait session is carefully tailored to reflect your family’s unique personality and style, resulting in images that feel authentic and meaningful. Whether it’s capturing their peaceful slumber or their wide-eyed curiosity, my goal is to deliver photographs that you will hold close to your heart for years to come. Let’s create something truly special together—your baby’s first portraits will be a treasure you’ll never outgrow.

Scheduling Your Newborn Photoshoot

 

 

To ensure we can reserve the perfect time for your newborn photography session, we recommend scheduling your session at least six weeks before your due date, if possible. This allows us to plan ahead and ensure availability during those precious early days when your baby is still so tiny and new.

 

Booking with us is simple—just give us a quick call or fill out the contact form on our website! From the moment you reach out, we’re here to answer all your questions, help you understand what to expect, and guide you through every step of the process. Our goal is to make your newborn portrait experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible, so you can focus on preparing for your little one’s arrival. We can’t wait to work with you to create beautiful photographs you’ll treasure forever!

 

What to Expect During Your Newborn Portrait Session

The Newborn Session

 

My cozy portrait studio is thoughtfully designed to provide a calm and relaxing environment, creating the perfect space to photograph your newborn in all their squishy, sleepy perfection. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with every detail curated to ensure both you and your baby feel comfortable throughout the session. From the soft wraps and delicate props to handcrafted headbands and tiny, specially chosen outfits, each element is selected with care to reflect your family’s unique style and tell your beautiful story. Every session is a collaboration, designed to highlight the tiny details and tender moments you’ll cherish forever.

 

The newborn portrait session typically takes about 2-3 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and capturing a variety of setups. This includes multiple looks to showcase your baby in different poses, as well as heartwarming family moments with siblings and parents. My approach is gentle and baby-led, ensuring that your little one’s comfort and safety are always the top priority. While I work to create timeless portraits of your baby, you’re invited to fully relax and enjoy the experience.

 

The studio is equipped with cozy seating, a television for entertainment, and a selection of complimentary snacks and beverages to make your time with us as enjoyable as possible. Whether you use this time to unwind, watch a show, or simply savor the moment, my goal is to provide a stress-free experience where you feel cared for and at ease. This session is not just about capturing incredible photos—it’s also about creating a memorable and joyful experience for you and your family.

Viewing & Selecting Your Newborn Photographs

After your baby's photography session, the excitement continues with your portrait gallery viewing and order appointment, a special moment where you get to see the beautiful photographs we’ve created. During this personalized session, you’ll enjoy a carefully curated slideshow of your baby’s portraits, allowing you to relive those sweet, fleeting moments captured during the session. This is where the magic truly comes to life, as you see the love, innocence, and personality of your little one reflected in every image.

 

In addition to viewing your gallery, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the high-quality, heirloom photography products we offer. From luxurious albums that tell your family’s story to custom wall art that transforms your favorite portraits into timeless home décor, you’ll get a hands-on look at the possibilities for displaying and preserving your memories. Together, we’ll discuss the options that best suit your family’s needs, style, and space.

 

At this appointment, you’ll select the images that speak to your heart and decide whether you’d like them in digital format, as printed keepsakes, or both. My goal is to make this process as seamless and enjoyable as possible, providing guidance and expertise to help you choose the perfect ways to showcase and treasure your portraits. By the end of your appointment, you’ll have a collection of stunning memories ready to be cherished for years to come, beautifully displayed in a way that fits your life and home.

How to choose the RIGHT

Newborn Photographer

 

 

I totally understand that budget plays a big part when selecting your photographer, but there are some important things to keep in mind as well.

This is a one time experience (per baby). You don't get a do-over with newborns. So doing this right the first time is incredibly important.

 

Safety is a HUGE factor with newborn photography. There are so many safety aspects behind posing newborns that the average person doesn't know. Knowing how to safely pose, and handle a newborn is so important, and professional newborn photographers can do just that. Look at their credentials..

Who did they train with? Are they CPR certified? Are they up to date on newborn safety?

Do you love the photographer's work? If you don't love their work, don't settle for them. We put a lot of time and effort into creating flawless, and timeless images for you. We want you to LOVE each and every image we create.

 

I was previously a postpartum nurse and worked with new parents and brand new babies. I am confident in my ability to soothe and expertly pose your newborn in ways that mimic the womb, as well as keep them comfortable for the creative poses you have grown to love. I am continually perfecting my craft, and keeping up with the industry standards. Your baby couldn't be in safer hands.
