Macon Newborn photography that remembers what matters
What you’ll want to remember is how it felt to hold them here.
In those early days, life feels fragile and full all at once — the quiet rise of their chest, your partner’s hand on your shoulder, the soft rhythm of a feeding. These fleeting moments shape the start of your family’s story.
My goal as your Macon newborn photographer is to create images that honor this season honestly and tenderly, so you’ll always remember how it felt to hold them close.
Because these aren’t just baby photos, they’re your family’s first chapter together.

MACON NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE
A process that gives you room to slow down, connect, and feel at ease in these early days.
Simple, thoughtful prep
You’ll start with a short questionnaire so I can get to know your family. We’ll chat about where you’d like your session — at home, outdoors, or in the studio (available as an add-on) — and what makes you feel most comfortable.
Baby-led and natural
Your session flows around your baby’s needs — feeding, cuddling, or resting in your arms. I’ll gently guide you so everything feels calm and natural, with no pressure or posing.
Images you’ll love
Within a week, you’ll get your proof gallery to choose favorites. After that, your final images will be fully edited and ready to enjoy as prints, albums, or keepsakes.
FAQs as a Macon Newborn Photographer
1. When is the best time to book my Macon newborn photography session?
I recommend reaching out while you’re still pregnant, usually around your second trimester. We’ll reserve your due date and stay flexible depending on when your little one arrives.
2. What should we wear for our newborn session?
I’ll help with styling every step of the way, including access to my client closet. Think soft neutrals, cozy textures, and outfits that feel like you. And no pressure to dress baby in anything fancy, simple wraps or onesies are perfect.
3. How old should my baby be for a newborn session?
I typically photograph newborns between 5–21 days old, but there’s no hard rule. Whether they’re fresh from the hospital or already a few weeks old, what matters most is capturing your connection.
4. Can my partner or kids be in the newborn photos too?
Yes, please! These photos are about your family as a whole—not just baby. Sibling snuggles, mama’s hands, dad’s sleepy smile, these are the details that tell the full story.
5. What if I don’t want my newborn photos shared online?
Your privacy matters. I’ll only share images with your permission, and if you’d prefer to keep them completely private, I’ll make sure they stay just for you.
6. Do you offer payment plans or flexible booking options?
Yes. Booking early gives you more time to split payments. We can set a schedule that works for you.
