When is the best time for a newborn session?

The sweetest newborn photos are usually captured within the first 2–3 weeks after birth. During this stage, babies are naturally sleepier and curl easily into those cozy, classic poses that make newborn portraits so special.  I recommend booking during your second trimester so I can reserve space around your due date and ensure availability.

How do I schedule a session?

Because newborn sessions are limited and highly requested, reaching out through the contact form on my website before your baby arrives is the best way to secure your spot. From there, we’ll schedule a complimentary design consultation to discuss your vision, plan your session, and talk about how you’d love to display your images in your home. A non-refundable reservation fee officially secures your session date.

What should I bring to the session?

I provide most of the styling for your newborn session, including wraps, blankets, and carefully selected props. Parents should bring baby essentials such as diapers, wipes, feeding supplies, and an extra outfit for themselves. If you have a meaningful item—like an heirloom blanket or sentimental keepsake—I’m always happy to incorporate it into your session.

Where are newborn sessions held?

All newborn sessions take place in my private studio, which is designed to be warm, calm, and comfortable for both baby and parents. The studio is a cozy, private space where everything is prepared in advance so you can relax while I gently guide the session.

How long does a session last?

Newborn sessions typically last about 2–3 hours. This allows plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and carefully posing your baby while keeping the experience calm and baby-led. Nothing is rushed so your little one stays comfortable throughout the session.

Can I include family members or siblings?

Yes, absolutely. Including parents and siblings creates beautiful portraits that celebrate your growing family. I’ll go over all the details of how family images are incorporated during your design consultation so the session flows smoothly and everyone feels prepared.

How do you ensure baby’s safety?

Your baby’s safety is always my top priority. I use gentle posing techniques and maintain a warm, comfortable studio environment to keep newborns relaxed and secure. Every pose is done slowly and safely, and your baby’s comfort always comes first.

What should parents wear?

I recommend wearing neutral or earth tones that complement your baby’s portraits. Simple, classic clothing keeps the focus on your newborn while creating timeless images you’ll love for years to come. I’ll also provide wardrobe guidance during your consultation so everything coordinates beautifully.

What happens after the session?

After your session, we’ll schedule a personalized ordering appointment where you’ll view your beautifully edited images. During this time, I’ll help you select your favorite portraits and design heirloom artwork such as albums, fine art prints, and wall displays that you’ll enjoy in your home for years to come.

How far in advance should I book?

Newborn sessions are limited each month to ensure every family receives a relaxed, personalized experience. I recommend booking during your second trimester so your session can be reserved around your due date.
