I know life with a newborn feels tender and a little unpredictable - but that’s exactly what makes this season so beautiful.
My sessions aren’t about stiff poses or rushing to get it “just right.” They’re about slowing down, soaking in the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the cozy cuddles on the couch, the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms.
We’ll pause for feeds, diaper changes, and snuggles as needed, letting your baby lead the way. The result? Honest, heartfelt images that preserve this fleeting season of new beginnings.
Reach out to reserve your newborn session - we’ll set it up for around your due date, and then you just text me once baby arrives so we can set the exact day and time.
01. Book Your Spot
I’ll share outfit ideas and little prep tips for your space so your session feels cozy, natural, and highlights the beauty of these first days home with your baby.
02. Plan & Style
Baby is here! Time to capture the sweetness. I’ll come to you, and we’ll keep things slow and relaxed. We’ll stop for feeds, diaper changes, and all the snuggles - your baby runs the show.
03. Session Day
The hardest part - but so worth it! About three weeks after your session, your gallery will land in your inbox. Get ready to smile, maybe even tear up, and choose the images that will live on as part of your legacy.

"Tonya is an extremely talented photographer and an absolute delight overall. She has taken newborn photos for both of my children and we could not be happier with the results each time."

"5 stars is seriously not enough! She fit like another member of the family and never made things awkward or uncomfortable. She has since shot our family/little one twice and each time has been magic. She truly has a gift for this!
Your newborn session is an in-home lifestyle experience, happening right where your baby feels most comfortable. We’ll pick the room with the best natural light - the nursery, living room, or parents’ room all work beautifully. Feeling adventurous? We can also plan a sweet outdoor spot!
I recommend something comfortable for you, mama - flowy dresses work beautifully for this occasion. You’ll get a guide with outfit ideas and tips for the whole fam so everything feels cozy, natural, and timeless.
No worries at all! This is why we’ll follow your baby’s lead and go with the flow, pausing for feeds, changes, or extra snuggles - all while capturing those beautiful, fleeting moments you'll love.
Sessions usually take about an hour, but we can go up to three if baby needs it. That way there’s plenty of time for solo baby shots, family portraits, and all the sweet cuddles - no rushing, just capturing these little moments.
Newborn sessions are designed for immediate family, which usually includes parents and siblings. If you’d like to include grandparents or other extended family, just reach out - we can make it work, though it does change the session flow a bit.
Your gallery of sweet moments will be ready within 3 weeks! You’ll get to pick 20 of your favorite images to hold on to forever, or you can upgrade your gallery and keep even more unforgettable memories of these sweet early days.
