“Mama” is my favorite job description. For a baby-lover like me, newborn photography sessions are such a joy! I know babies are going to cry, and I know I stand a very good chance of being peed upon, but I also know I’m going to get to cuddle a baby — and with patience and persistence, I’ll create beautiful images of the sweetness found only in a newborn baby. (And I’ll probably squeal at the cuteness!)
What to expect: Newborn sessions are best done when baby is about one week old. I don’t have a set time limit for newborn sessions, but they usually run about two hours due to feedings, changing, and all those newborn-necessary sorts of things. I shoot newborn sessions at your home where mama and baby are most comfortable. I bring everything I need with me, including a few props and blankets of my own, but I love to incorporate sentimental or personal items in with your baby as well. Every session will be different based on your home, your family, and your baby. The sweetest newborn images tend to be while baby is sleeping, so we’ll want to have baby comfy, cozy, and well-fed. I’ll use awake times for photographs of baby with siblings, parents, and family.
I personally do all post-processing and retouching of every finished image, and usually have proofs from your session available for viewing in a password-protected online gallery within two weeks.

*I offer gift-sized prints, wall prints, canvas art, custom albums, and more, but there is NO required minimum product order.
Babies don’t always arrive exactly when expected, but it’s best to go ahead and schedule a tentative date for your baby’s session about a week after your due date. Contact me with questions, or to get your session on the calendar!
