Ideally, book during your third trimester (around 28-32 weeks). I reserve a spot around your due date, then we finalize the session date once your baby arrives. This ensures you have priority on my calendar during those precious first weeks.

For softly posed newborn portraits, I typically aim for around 7 to 10 days old. Babies up to about 3 weeks can often still be photographed beautifully, though the session may become more swaddled and natural as they get older.

No problem. Once your baby arrives, let me know and we’ll choose the session date based on their arrival and how everyone is doing. For softly posed newborn portraits, I typically aim for around 7 to 10 days old, with flexibility when needed.

If your baby arrives significantly early and needs NICU time, we can adjust the schedule as needed. Your baby’s health comes first.

Just bring your baby and milk! I provide everything needed for a beautiful session:

  • All props, wraps, blankets, and setups
  • Cozy, warm studio environment
  • Patience and expertise

Helpful, but optional items to bring:

  • Pacifier (if baby uses one)
  • Extra diapers and wipes
  • Any special blankets or items you’d like incorporated (grandma’s heirloom blanket, etc.)

If your collection includes parent or family portraits, wear something simple and comfortable that coordinates softly with the baby’s styling.

I’ve photographed hundreds of newborns—fussiness is completely normal and expected! Sessions are baby-led, meaning we pause for:

  • Feeding
  • Diaper changes
  • Soothing and comforting
  • Skin-to-skin time with parents

The studio is designed to be calming (warm, quiet, dim lighting), and I use gentle techniques to help babies settle. Most babies sleep peacefully once they’re comfortable, fed, and warm.
