Now, they're finally cradled in your arms—a moment of peace and overwhelming love. Each day brings new discoveries, filled with sleepy smiles, delicate coos, and the softest hair.
The newborn stage is a whirlwind of emotions and sleepless nights. Your baby grows and changes daily, making these moments incredibly precious.
As those tiny legs stretch and those itty-bitty nails become less daunting to trim, you'll want to remember every coo and sleepy smile. We'll capture the essence of this short-lived phase.
Coordinating family outfits can be tough. I’ll offer you styling advice that makes the process easy and enjoyable, so you can focus on enjoying your family.
Enjoy a relaxed session that focuses on capturing the moments with your new little one that truly define your family.

The process
NEXT step
Once your booking is confirmed, you'll receive a questionnaire to help me learn more about you, your family, and your expectations. This will ensure we capture the imperfect moments filled with all the beautiful moments.

When it comes to preparing for a family photo shoot, the biggest question is often what to wear.
Don't worry, I've got you covered! I offer a client wardrobe with a variety of beautiful pieces for you to choose from. I will also provide personalized guidance and styling tips to ensure you look and feel your best for your special session.
NEXT step
When we meet for your session, It's natural to feel a bit nervous at first, but I promise those nerves will fade within the first few minutes.
Your session will be filled with tender moments, focusing on making you feel comfortable and relaxed. These will be memories not only captured in photos but also cherished in your heart.
NEXT step
About 7 days after your session, you'll receive your proof gallery. You can then select your favorite images, which I will fully edit and return to you within 3 weeks.
Once your gallery is complete, you can easily download your images, share them with friends and family, and access your personal print shop directly from the gallery.
My approach is relaxed and natural. I focus on genuine, candid moments that capture the true essence of your newborn and family.
The ideal time for a newborn session is within the first two weeks of birth when babies are most sleepy and easily posed. However, with the lifestyle approach, up to six weeks is okay as well!
Sessions can be held outdoors, in your home for a comfortable and familiar environment, or at my studio for a controlled setting.
Newborn sessions are flexible and baby-led. We take breaks as needed for feeding, changing, and soothing to ensure a comfortable experience for everyone.
Newborn sessions usually last between 1.5-3 hours to allow for feeding, soothing, and family time.

Lifestyle newborn sessions focus on capturing authentic moments with your baby. To enhance these, I provide props like a cozy Moses basket and various blankets and swaddles for added charm and comfort.
