The days are long but the years are short…

As a newborn photographer, I can’t stop time, but I’m here to help you hold onto those precious first days with your new baby as your family settles in. Whether you love the cozy, natural feel of a lifestyle session or the timeless beauty of posed portraits, I’ll create images that celebrate these incredibly special moments for you.

Lifestyle newborn sessions take place right in the comfort of your own home, capturing your family’s natural rhythms and genuine moments as you settle into life with your little one. There’s something truly special about photographing in a space filled with your love, warmth, and personal touches, from cozy cuddles on the couch to quiet moments in the nursery. With a calm and informal approach, I let your newborn set the pace while capturing the real emotions and beautiful little details that make this season unforgettable.

If you’d like, you can also include a posed newborn session during your home visit. I’ll bring a selection of soft wraps, blankets, and simple props to style timeless portraits that highlight your baby’s sweetest details. It’s a beautiful way to have both natural family moments and classic newborn images — all captured right in the comfort of your own home.

Making Your Newborn Session Effortless from Start to Finish

Choose the Newborn Experience That Fits Your Family

Whether you prefer a relaxed, lifestyle session or want to include timeless wrapped portraits, you can choose the option that feels right for your family — Wrapped, lifestyle only, or l ifestyle plus wrapped. Rates start range between $650 – $950.

What to Wear & How to Prep

Once your session is booked, you’ll receive a short questionnaire that helps me get to know you, your family, and what matters most to you during this season. It’s a chance to share your style preferences, and little details that make your family unique. After that, I’ll send over a comprehensive prep guide filled with tips to help you feel completely ready — from what to wear, to how to prepare your home, and what to expect the day of your session. My goal is to make everything feel calm, clear, and enjoyable from the very beginning.

Sessions Take Place in the Comfort of Your Home

There’s no need to worry about packing up your newborn. I will bring the session to you. All newborn sessions, including posed and wrapped options, take place in your home, where you and your baby are most comfortable and relaxed.

Newborn Photography FAQ

Booking sometime during your second trimester is a great idea. It helps make sure I have availability when your little one arrives.

This is a super common question! Once you’ve signed a contract and paid your deposit, I’ll hold a spot on my calendar using your due date. After your baby arrives, we’ll pick the best day for your session.

Sessions are best within the first two weeks after you bring your baby home. I typically schedule them on weekday mornings, when everyone tends to be fresh and relaxed.

Definitely! I love including siblings and parents in your newborn session because these moments are all about your whole family. Capturing the connection between your baby and loved ones makes the photos even more special and meaningful. Whether it’s gentle cuddles, sweet smiles, or playful interactions, I’ll guide everyone to help create beautiful, natural images that you’ll cherish forever.

I recommend sticking with neutral colors and simple clothing with no logos or busy patterns. This keeps the focus on your baby and the beautiful connection between you all. Soft fabrics and timeless styles work best, creating photos that feel natural and classic. Feel free to coordinate outfits between family members without being too “matchy,” so everyone feels comfortable and looks their best. I’m always happy to offer guidance if you want help choosing what to wear!

Not at all! Before the session, I’ll chat with you about your favorite colors and any special ideas you have. I provide all the wraps, blankets, and props needed to create beautiful, cozy portraits. Before your session, a guide will be sent to you with all of the props/wraps offered for them to choose from. You don’t need to worry about a thing, just relax and enjoy this special time with your baby while I take care of the rest.

Once you’ve booked your session and submitted your deposit, I’ll reach out to welcome you and start planning the details. We’ll talk about your due date, session style, and any special requests you have. As your session approaches, I’ll send helpful tips on what to expect, how to prepare, and how to get the most out of your time together. After the session, I’ll carefully edit your photos and deliver a beautiful gallery for you to enjoy and share.

Allison did an amazing job getting our very alert (and sometimes fussy) baby to sleep for the wrapped session and even taught us as new parents some new soothing techniques that we still use on our little guy!
