Newborn Photography

There’s something truly magical about capturing those first moments of your baby’s life—the tiny yawns, little curled fingers, and sweet smiles. As your photographer, my goal is to preserve these precious memories for you to treasure forever. Every session is handled with care and love, ensuring that each photo beautifully reflects the joy and connection you feel. These are moments that pass by so quickly, and I’m here to help you hold onto them forever.

Frequenlty Asked Questions (F.A.Q)

When Should I Book My Newborn Photo Shoot?

I recommend booking your newborn photo shoot before your baby arrives. You can schedule it for about one to two weeks after your due date. If your baby arrives earlier or later than expected, don’t worry— we can adjust the date to ensure your baby is between 2 to 3 weeks of age, which is the ideal time for a newborn session.

What Days Are Newborn Sessions Held?

I only schedule newborn photo shoots on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings to ensure the best lighting and a calm environment for your baby.

How Long Do Newborn Sessions Last?

Newborn sessions typically last 2 to 3 hours. This allows plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and capturing those precious moments.

What If I Have a Toddler or Small Sibling?

If you have a toddler sibling, I recommend bringing the entire family at the start of the session. We’ll begin with family photos and sibling shots. Afterward, dad can take the toddler or small sibling to a park or out for a snack while mom stays with me and baby. This ensures we have a peaceful environment for your baby to relax and sleep through the session.

How Many Sets Can I Choose for My Newborn Session?

Your newborn session includes a total of four sets:

Three basket floor shots: We’ll pose your baby in beautifully styled baskets with cozy wraps and blankets.
Table poses: This includes a mix of wrapped poses and adorable face-on-hands poses. These can be done with your baby either naked or in outfits, depending on your preference.

We’ll work together to create a variety of beautiful setups that highlight your baby’s sweetness and personality.

How Much Does It Cost to Book a Newborn Session?

You can book your newborn session with just a 40% deposit, and the remaining balance is due on the day of the session.

Payment plans are available through afterpay.

What Happens If We Can’t Do the Newborn Session?

If something unforeseen happens and we’re unable to do the newborn photo shoot, your deposit can be applied toward a milestone session instead. Milestone sessions are perfect for capturing precious moments when your baby is between 3 to 9 months old, right before their Cake Smash session.

How Should You Prepare for Your Newborn Photo Shoot?

To ensure a smooth and successful newborn photo session, here are a few tips to help you prepare:

Dress Baby in an Easy-to-Take-Off Outfit
Please dress your baby in a simple sleeper with a zipper. This makes it easier to undress your baby without disturbing them upon arrival at the studio.
Feed Baby Before the Session
Make sure to feed your baby right before coming to the photo shoot. This way, your baby will arrive content and ready for posing and wrapping. This also helps us avoid spending the first hour feeding, burping, and changing.
Do Not Bathe Baby Before the Session
Avoid bathing your baby right before the photo shoot. Leaving their natural oils intact helps prevent their hair from sticking up during the session.
Don’t Worry About Baby Acne or Skin Imperfections
If your baby has acne, scratches, or other skin imperfections, don’t stress! These are completely normal, and I’ll edit them out during post-processing to ensure your baby’s photos look flawless.
If Baby is Recently Circumcised
If your baby has recently been circumcised, please wait at least 7 days after the procedure before coming to the session. This ensures your baby is comfortable and ready for posing.
Bring a Pacifier

Even if your baby doesn’t typically use a pacifier, please bring one along. I won’t use it for long, but it can help settle your baby into a pose before I remove it to take my shot. This ensures we capture the perfect moment while keeping your baby comfortable.

Following these steps will help create a calm and peaceful environment, making the session enjoyable for both you and your baby!

Can I Take Photos and Video During the Photoshoot?

Yes, absolutely! You are welcome to take as many photos and videos as you'd like during the session. If you capture any behind-the-scenes moments of me at work, I’d love for you to send them my way!

If you tag us on Instagram or Facebook with your behind-the-scenes photos, you’ll receive an additional digital image as a thank you!

Also, if you leave a review after the session, you’ll receive another additional digital image!

Where Does the Newborn Session Take Place?

All newborn sessions take place in my in-home studio near Durango & Farm Rd. Unfortunately, newborn sessions cannot be conducted anywhere else. My in-home studio is fully equipped with all the professional lighting, baskets, wraps, and props needed to ensure your baby’s session is as comfortable and beautiful as possible.

Where Can I See Your Selection of Props and Colors for My Newborn Session?

For your newborn session, you’ll have the opportunity to choose three colors for your shoot and two props for the session. I will thoughtfully curate the rest of the styling, including floral arrangements and additional decorative touches, to create the most beautiful and timeless newborn photos.

To explore the props and color options available, you can visit my Instagram, where I showcase my most recent work. Additionally, after booking your session, you’ll receive a confirmation email with links to a collection of props and sets I’ve used in past sessions.
