Newborn Photography

My newborn sessions are a storytelling experience that capture a glimpse of your new life and new family through my lens. Newborn sessions are intimate, sometimes spontaneous in the best ways, and always a special way to document your growing family during these new moments together.

The Newborn Session

My newborn sessions are a storytelling experience that capture a glimpse of your new life and new family through my lens.

What do we need to do to prepare?

Nothing really. Don’t scrub your home - we’ll pick up and move things if we need to and don’t even make your bed, because likely we’ll strip it anyway. We understand that everyone may be a little sleep deprived, so we’ll try to take care of the heavy lifting if needed. We want everyone who is a part of the session to feel completely relaxed and not feel a massive amount of pressure. After you book your session, you’ll receive a very small checklist of things to think about but really, just everyone being together is what will make your session go great.

Where will we take photos in our home?

Any room can be a perfect room! I’ll bring lighting, so you can rest assured we’ll have great lighting no matter what room we’re in. Sessions sometimes take place in just one room or more. Rooms included: the primary bedroom, living room, baby’s room, sometimes a kitchen, or outdoors if an option. There’s no recipe, we just go with the flow.

The studio is also an option for your session. We recently moved to Ravenswood and we’re still getting settled in, but we have several comfortable seating areas for a newborn session to take place.

Let’s talk.

We would love to hear from you! Please feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email. The information requested below helps us get to know you better.

Our sessions are booked Tuesday thru Friday (and Sundays for families with school age children), some time between 9am-3pm. We book only one session a day to give you the convenience of picking a start time that works best for you, instead of squeezing in between multiple sessions. All of that said, we’re flexible if our schedule allows for a unique time and day or a last minute booking.
