Newborns
Hello Mama! Congratulations! I know how exciting it is to be welcoming a new addition to your family. I also know you probably have your fair share of overwhelm and concerns. I am here to help you navigate one of the most important steps of your new mama journey - documenting your baby’s first hours and days on this Earth. Let us capture all those tiny newborn details along with this unique and special moment in time, and all the amazing emotions that go along with it.
One day, in the not-too-distant future, your newborn will be able to look at these photos and sense the love in your eyes. The photos from your baby’s session will become a family treasure to be enjoyed again and again, both now and for generations to come. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you in such a profound and meaningful way!
TO KEEP IN MIND:
• Book your session early, ideally right after your 20 week ultrasound.
• The ideal age to photograph your newborn is 5-9 days old.
• If you missed these deadlines, it's okay. Reach out today. We will do our best to fit you in!
• Plan on a minimum of 3 hours for posed sessions and 1 hour for lifestyle sessions

Newborn Comfort & Safety
As a former hospital newborn photographer, I have been properly trained in newborn safety and sanitation. To ensure the well being of my littlest clients, I limit newborn sessions to ONE per day and I thoroughly clean the studio between sessions, wiping down all hard surfaces with disinfectant, laundering all clothing and linens, and sanitizing all props. I stay up to date on all of my vaccines including COVID, influenza, whooping cough, varicella, MMR, etc. Of course, I wash and sanitize my hands before handling your baby, and I wear a facemask to prevent airborne illnesses.
For baby's comfort the room is kept warm at about 80-84 degrees, and a white noise machine mimics the womb sounds. Babies are gently swaddled, soothed, and coaxed into the positions you see on the website, always with their comfort and safety in mind. We build in plenty of time for you to nurse, change, and cuddle baby as needed to help them feel happy and secure.
Newborn photography requires a lot of training, talent, and patience. I have photographed over 500 newborns, and loved every single one of them! Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I am excited to photograph your baby and provide you with priceless images to remember this fleeting moment in time!
