About Newborns & First Hugs
When I work with newborns, safety is my absolute priority. The studio is kept warm and quiet to ensure your baby stays comfortable throughout our session. I never rush; we work around feeding and nap schedules because a relaxed baby makes for the most peaceful portraits. If your little one needs a moment or a cuddle, we take it—there is no ticking clock on these early, precious moments.
Your Newborn's Comfort Comes First
I specialize in baby-led posing, which means I do not force your baby into uncomfortable positions. Every pose is natural, safe, and respectful of what your baby is comfortable doing. Whether you prefer clean, minimal studio backdrops or soft, boho textures, the focus remains entirely on your little one’s delicate features.
Including the Whole Family
These sessions are not just for the baby. I love including parents and siblings to document those first, incredible connections. I guide you through poses that feel natural—like holding your baby close, kissing a tiny forehead, or just resting together. If you have older siblings, we keep the session engaging and fun for them so they feel like part of the celebration.
Planning Your Shoot
The best time for these portraits is within the first 15 days of life when your baby is still extra sleepy and curled up. I recommend booking your slot in advance to ensure availability. We will create a session that reflects your family’s unique style, leaving you with timeless images you will look back on as your baby grows.
