First of all, congratulations on having a new baby or expecting one! That is so exciting! Whether your baby is almost here or you are anticipating their arrival, taking newborn and lifestyle photos of your little one, will be a great way to remember how tiny and cute they are!

Unlike other studio photographers who specialize in newborn photography, I am more of a lifestyle photographer and have taken a short newborn course online so that I can offer many of my clients, who may have just had a maternity session with me, a newborn photoshoot. I offer in-home photography sessions and with newborns we would schedule that within 2 weeks after the birth. Rather than meeting me in a studio, I drive to your home and set up some of the props, swaddles and other accessories I have. My style is geared toward a natural and lifestyle look with your family and your new baby. You won’t get tightly posed/styled newborn looks, but rather a more relaxed look of your baby sleeping.

Props to Choose From

newborn baby blankets for photos — Light beige textured blanket and soft brown blanket

Swaddle colors- blue, tan, white, pink and olive green

If there’s anything you have that you’d like to use in your photos please let me know. I offer these baby swaddles, bed or basket, and accessories as options to use when we take newborn photos first. Let me know what color blanket in the basket or bed you’d like to use as well as what color backdrop you prefer!

During our session together I start by taking photos of your newborn and we’d finish with the sibling + family portraits. I recommend setting up the area by keeping the space warm enough for a newborn, and then putting on white noise to help baby sleep.

I have two little ones of my own and have tons of experience holding and taking care of newborns which helps a ton! My goal is to keep your baby happy, sleepy and safe. I do this by having a family member spot the baby during our session. When we get started make sure your newborn is well fed, wearing an easy to open outfit (nothing tight over the head) and that you have anything you need on hand like a burp cloth or your phone for videos. :) Before the session, make sure your newborn has their time awake so that when I arrive they will be ready to sleep. This will save us time waiting for your baby to be fed and fall asleep easily for photos.
