NEWBORN SESSIONS
The snuggle is real
There’s no place like home.
At home you won’t find a studio lit baby, origami-ed into a wicker basket.
No, here your little one will be snuggled up on your chest. You’ll be able to feel their heart beat and waking breaths. Soak up their larger than life stretches and sweet smiles recognizing their whole world is looking back at them.
They’re surrounded by comfort, warmth, and happiness.
Home is where we’ll document your most cherished memories.

Oh, to be a baby…
No matter what, they’re perfect. Right?
Keep that in mind before your session when you’re thinking about how you or your home look.
Or whether your baby will need to be fed or if your dog won’t settle down.
None of that stuff matters. Not today. And especially not looking back years from now.
When I arrive your sole/soul focus should be on the one, perfect, little baby that matters most.

Fill out the inquiry form and I’ll send all of the info you’ll need to save your due date in my calendar.
A $250 session fee and some quick online paperwork are the only things needed to book your session.
I’ll have you reach out after your baby is born to finalize a morning for me to come over. -
You’ll receive a guide with my tips and tricks for making our morning together run smoothly.
It’ll walk you through outfit advice, ways to prep the home so everyone is comfy cozy (don’t worry about it being perfectly tidy), and what to expect the day of your session. -
Spend a relaxed hour or so taking photos. Usually I take photos in the living room, a bedroom, and the nursery.
We’ll be sure to get photos of both parents snuggling the baby individually and together, your baby alone, and photos that include siblings and pets. -
About 3 weeks after the session you'll receive your entire gallery. Since everyone likes to use their photos in different ways I offer multiple collections to choose from. Each collection includes high-resolution digital image downloads and complimentary print credit.
Seeing how much your little one has grown, you’ll wonder,
“Where did the time go?”
You’ll find the answers hanging on walls,
sitting on the coffee table,
and tucked into shelves.
Those little coo’s and knuckle dimples
that feel so distant, will be right next to you
in photographs.
FAQ
-
I recommend taking photos right around 2 weeks if you want the tiny, sleepy baby phase. 5-8 weeks is wonderful if you’d like more time to settle in. Babies are also usually more filled out and alert in those later weeks. We usually avoid 3-4 weeks old as many babies will develop ‘baby acne’ at that time.
-
Once you’ve paid the session fee I will email a prep guide so you know what to wear, what your baby should wear, and all the important details about how our morning together will go.
-
When I arrive I’ll ask for a quick tour to see what rooms have the best natural light. We’ll usually take photos in the living room, a bedroom, and the nursery if you have one set up. Please don’t worry about having a perfectly tidy home- nobody actually does ;) I am the master of putting the focus on your connection with your family and not what your home looks like.
-
Most sessions take 1-1.5 hours. We will probably take breaks for diaper changes and feeding. I don’t have a strict work flow and am flexible to leave space for authentic moments, but I will guide you to make sure you get a variety of photos with all the family combinations in a convenient about of time.
