The Experience
For Signature Newborn Sessions, I bring the experience to you. Your home provides the perfect backdrop for this meaningful season, allowing your family to settle in and feel comfortable while I create timeless portraits of your baby’s first days.
From wardrobe guidance to preparing your home, I’m here to make the experience feel simple and stress-free. You don’t need a perfectly styled house or a picture-perfect wardrobe! Your home is the backdrop to your family’s story, and the most meaningful images come from the spaces where life is truly happening.
I’ll help you choose what photographs beautifully, guide you toward the best light in your home, and take care of the details so you can focus on enjoying these precious moments with your baby.

What to Expect
Before Your Session
When you book, we’ll reserve a tentative date based on your due date. After your baby arrives, we’ll finalize the session date within the first 7–14 days to capture those sweet newborn details while your baby is sleepy and naturally curled up.
If those first two weeks aren’t possible, don’t worry. Beautiful newborn portraits can be created at any stage. Older babies are often more awake, alert, and expressive, resulting in a different style of imagery that beautifully captures your baby’s emerging personality and your family’s connection. That’s the beauty of lifestyle photography!
After booking, you’ll receive a personalized session guide with everything you need to prepare, including wardrobe recommendations, color palettes, and simple tips for preparing your home for beautiful, natural-light portraits.
Choosing Your Session Time
Newborn sessions are scheduled during midday when your home has the most beautiful natural light. Before your session, we’ll discuss the rooms you’d like to use and identify the spaces with the best light—often the nursery, master bedroom, or main living areas. Because every baby has their own rhythm, we’ll choose a time that allows for a relaxed experience with plenty of room for feeding, soothing, and connection. There’s no need to rush—your baby’s needs will guide the pace of our session. beautiful.
During Your Session
Your session will be relaxed, baby-led, and thoughtfully guided. I’ll use the best natural light in your home in spaces like the nursery, master bedroom and main living areas to create portraits that feel authentic to your family. We’ll move at your baby’s pace, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and connection along the way. Newborn sessions are typically 60-90 minutes in length.
After Your Session
Your images will be carefully selected and professionally edited to create timeless portraits in my signature style. Photos will be delivered through a private online gallery, giving you immediate access to download and preserve your memories. For families who want to bring their portraits into their home, professional prints and artwork are available through my trusted print partner.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book newborn photos?
The best time to book is during your second or third trimester to ensure availability around your due date. When you reserve your session, we’ll choose a tentative date based on your due date. Once your baby arrives, we’ll adjust the session date to take place within the first 7–14 days whenever possible.
What age is best for newborn photos?
For those sleepy, curled-up newborn portraits, I recommend scheduling your session within the first 7–14 days after birth. During this time, many babies sleep deeply and are less likely to wake during posing and transitions.
If your baby is older than two weeks, don’t worry—it’s absolutely still a wonderful time for photos. Older newborns are typically more awake, allowing us to capture their growing personality, sweet expressions, and the beautiful connection between your family. The style of the session is simply a little different.
Can we keep or child’s photos private?
Yes. Your family’s privacy is always respected. Image sharing is completely optional, and you’re welcome to decline the use of your photographs for my portfolio, website, or social media. Simply let me know your preference when booking, and I’ll make a note in your client agreement.
What time will my newborn session take place?
Newborn sessions typically take place around midday when your home has the most beautiful natural light. We’ll use the brightest spaces in your home—often the nursery, master bedroom, or main living areas—to create warm, timeless portraits while following your baby’s pace.
Are siblings included?
Absolutely. Your newborn session is designed to celebrate your growing family, so siblings are an important part of the experience. We’ll capture a mix of individual newborn portraits as well as natural, heartfelt moments between your children and the family as a whole, creating images that tell the story of this new chapter together.
What if my baby cries or won’t settle?
No need to worry—newborn sessions are completely baby-led. We move at your baby’s pace, with plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, soothing, and cuddles whenever they’re needed. Some of the most meaningful images happen in those quiet moments of comforting your baby, so there’s never any pressure to rush or force a pose. My goal is for you to relax and enjoy this special time together while I document it naturally.
Do you provide newborn outfits?
Over the years, I’ve found that most families already have special outfits, blankets, or heirloom pieces they’re excited to include in their baby’s portraits. I love helping you incorporate those meaningful details into your session and will provide wardrobe guidance to help everything photograph beautifully.
I’ll bring a curated selection of simple props and swaddles to complement your baby’s portraits and provide additional options throughout the session.
