It’s best to reach out during your second trimester to ensure availability around your due date. Once booked, we’ll tentatively schedule your session for shortly after baby arrives, and finalize everything once they’re here. I only take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month to allow for flexibility around delivery dates and recovery time.

The sweet spot for newborn sessions is 7-14 days old, while they are still sleepy and curled up in your arms. However, there is no bad time to capture memories with your new baby, beautiful images can absolutely still be created with older babies as well.

Newborn sessions are intentionally slow-paced and baby-led, which means there’s never any pressure to rush. Most sessions last around 1.5–3 hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, changing, soothing, and breaks whenever needed. My goal is always to create a relaxed experience where everyone can settle in comfortably.

Because most newborn sessions take place indoors, weather usually doesn’t affect things too much. That said, if natural light is extremely limited, we can absolutely reschedule to the next available date that works well for everyone. I always want the experience to feel relaxed and stress-free, especially during those early newborn days.

I typically recommend simple, comfortable pieces in muted or neutral tones. Timeless styles tend to photograph beautifully and help keep the focus on your connection rather than the clothing itself. If you’d like help choosing specific outfits or coordinating everyone together, I’m always happy to help - just reach out!

Most newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home, where everyone tends to feel the most relaxed and settled. In-home sessions also allow me to capture this season in a way that feels personal and true to your family. If your home doesn’t feel like the right fit for a session, a studio option may also be available for an additional fee. We can always chat through the options together and decide what feels best for you.

My style is very natural and minimal, with the focus always staying on connection and your baby’s tiny details. I do bring along a small collection of simple wraps, blankets, and neutral pieces for baby, but I tend to keep props minimal so your images feel timeless and true to your family.

Once you reach out, I’ll send over everything you need to get started, in your booking proposal. A signed contract and retainer are required to officially reserve your tentative due date in my calendar.
