Newborn Photography in Rochester, NY
Honest, emotive images of your baby’s earliest days — captured gently, just as they are
About Your Newborn Session
The early days with your baby are unmatched.
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 season is fleeting but so deeply meaningful.
And it is all worth remembering.
My Approach to Your Newborn Session
Your newborn session is designed to feel calm, easy, and uncomplicated.
I take a baby-led approach in my newborn sessions meaning baby will be held and posed in ways that are natural and comfortable to their bodies.
I don’t use props and I don’t force baby into poses.
I move at your baby’s pace. Baby is free to eat and be comforted as needed.
You’ll be gently guided when needed, but the focus is on connection—holding your baby, soaking them in, and being present in these early days.

Newborn sessions take place in a studio or in-home setting. If the season allows for it, an outdoor newborn session may be possible and can be discussed.

Keep it simple.
Baby: diaper or a simple, well-fitted onesie.
Mom: something that fits you well and that you are comfortable in.
Everyone else: coordinate outfits based on Mom’s outfit, location, and season.

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.
