Newborn
A chapter of new beginnings.
The Newborn days.
Time is irrelevant. Days blur together.
Life is suddenly different and wonderful all at the same time.
You want to be present. To soak it all in.
The newborn scrunch, how they melt into you, and their tiny toes and fingers.
This chapter is short but so deeply meaningful. Your baby is growing and becoming who they will be right in front of you.
And it is all worth remembering.
Your Newborn Session
Best booked within the first two weeks of birth
Studio or in-home sessions are most common. Outdoor sessions are possible depending on the season.
Immediate family is always welcome to partake in the session
Baby-led approach used throughout session. Baby will be held and posed in ways that are natural and comforting to their bodies.
Other family members participating in the shoot will be gently guided throughout the session so that special moments with baby are captured.
Newborn basket, swaddles, and blankets are available to all clients to use during their session.
Booking Your Newborn Session
Choose a date within two weeks of your baby’s anticipated arrival. I’ll be checking in with you leading up to your session & your date can always be adjusted if needed.
Newborn Booking CalendarComplete your booking by choosing a session package, review & sign your contract, fill out a brief questionnaire, and pay your deposit. Session packages are explained further down this page.
Session planning is easy and stress-free. Your session prep guide includes styling guidance, preparation tips, and a simple timeline to help you feel ready for your session.
On Session Day, plan on 60-90 minutes to complete the session. If older siblings are involved with the shoot, or if we have to pause to feed the session plan on closer to two hours.
Your gallery will include all the best images from your session. I don't limit the number of photographs I deliver, and your edited gallery will be ready within three weeks.

I recommend booking a date during your second or third trimester. Ideally your session would be scheduled within 10 days of baby’s birth.
Your newborn session date is not set in stone and we will be able to adjust it if needed.
And if you didn’t book a session before baby arrived, that’s okay! Reach out as soon as you’re ready.
Let’s capture this early chapter of your family’s story.
