Before the Sleepless Nights Fade and the Tiny Fingers Grow—Let’s Remember This Baby Stage.
A newborn experience filled with the love that’s already surrounding your baby... true to you and effortless.
The sleepy stretches, the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the way your baby fits so perfectly in your arms—those are the moments that matter.
Babies get fussy—that’s okay. They get hungry—we take a break.
Siblings run wild? That’s part of the beauty. My newborn photography in Macon isn’t about posing perfectly—it’s about embracing these first few weeks exactly as they are—messy, beautiful, and full of love.
It’s about the connection between you and your little one, however that looks.
Your newborn session isn’t about perfection—it’s about real moments.
I'm Melissa, your macon newborn photographer

It’s best to book during your second trimester to ensure availability. We’ll tentatively schedule your session around your due date, and once baby arrives, we’ll finalize a date.
When should I book my newborn session?
← Back
Newborn photos are typically captured at 5-14 days old when babies are sleepiest, but older newborns (2-6 weeks) are just as beautiful! They may be more alert and expressive, allowing for sweet eye contact and natural moments. No matter their age, we’ll capture this season in a way that feels right for your family.
How old should my baby be for the session?
← Back
No problem at all! Since newborns are on their own schedule, we’ll adjust your session date as needed. Just keep me posted, and we’ll find the perfect time.
What if my baby arrives early or late?
← Back
That’s completely normal! My sessions are baby-led, meaning we go at their pace. We’ll capture all the sweet details—whether they’re sleepy, wide-eyed, or needing extra cuddles.
What if my baby is fussy or doesn’t sleep?
