Those first few days with your newborn are full of the most amazing moments (and yes, a bit of sleep deprivation!). As you’re soaking in the newest member of your family, I’m here to help capture that fleeting time—the fresh love, tiny details, and sweet moments—so you can relive it all over and over. Here’s a little sneak peek of what to expect when we spend a cozy session together, capturing those precious early days.
Welcome to a Cozy, Relaxed Experience
First off, no need to stress! My number one goal is to keep the session calm, comfortable, and enjoyable for you and your baby. I know the early days with a newborn can be a whirlwind, so our session is designed to go at your pace. We’ll keep things laid-back and natural—no rigid poses or rush. I’ll guide you to create those genuine, heartfelt moments you’ll want to remember forever with your baby.
Your Place, Your Comfort—or a Fresh Air Adventure
Most newborn sessions take place right in the comfort of your home. Not only does this make things easier for you, but it also lets us capture memories in the very place you’re creating them. That said, I’m always up for a little outdoor adventure, like capturing your little one all bundled up in a flower field! Either way, I’ll bring along everything we need—cozy blankets, baskets, wraps, and a few simple props—so all you have to do is relax and enjoy.
The Perfect Time for Those Tiny Details
If your baby is under two weeks old, that’s the ideal time for those dreamy, sleepy little newborn photos. But if they’re a bit older—no worries! Every age has its own sweet charm, and I’ll capture your baby at whatever stage they’re in, whether it’s adorable yawns, curious eyes, or tiny fists.
We Follow the Baby’s Lead
Babies have their own schedule, and I’m here for it! During our session, we’ll go with the flow, pausing for feeds, diaper changes, or snuggles whenever needed. Every little moment—whether it’s sleepy sighs or alert gazes—is perfect just as it is. This session is all about capturing your baby, exactly as they are.
Getting You and the Fam in the Photos
If you’re wondering whether to be in the photos, my answer is always a big YES! These images will become a treasure for your family, so I’ll gently guide you through natural poses that bring out the love and connection you already feel. No need to worry about “knowing what to do”—I’m there to help every step of the way, making sure you look (and feel) amazing. And if siblings (or even fur babies) are around, we’ll capture those sweet family bonds, too.
Choosing What to Wear
For outfits, I suggest soft, neutral tones that keep the focus on your family and create a timeless look. When you book, you’ll get a detailed guide on styling, or you can opt for a full custom styling experience where I handle everything. You’ll also get a list of beautiful location options and tips to make the most of our session together.
After the Session: Seeing Your Photos
Once we wrap up, you can expect to see your edited gallery in about three weeks. Each image is carefully selected and hand-edited, so when you open that gallery, it’s like reliving those early days all over again. You’ll have an online gallery where you can view, download, and even order prints or albums to keep these memories close.
These photos are more than just images—they’re a way to preserve those first snuggles, tiny toes, and that undeniable love. My hope is that as the years pass, you’ll look back at these photos and feel all the emotions of this special time. And just imagine how heartwarming it will be to share them with your little one someday—maybe even at their wedding! How sweet would that be?
