The newborn stage is tender, fleeting, and often a blur of sleepy chaos and deep love. These sessions are designed to pause time—capturing the soft details, quiet snuggles, and honest connection of your first days together.
With a calm, guided experience and a curated wardrobe ready for you, there’s nothing to plan or prep. You simply show up and soak in the moment.
Because while this season won’t last forever, these photographs will help you remember exactly how it felt.

FROM FIRST HELLO TO FINAL GALLERY
What working together actually
looks like
01. BOOKING
Fill out my contact form or send me an email. I respond within 24 hours — usually faster. We'll chat briefly about what you're looking for, and I'll send everything you need to get officially on the books: your contract, retainer, and session info.
You reach out
02. PLANNING
Before your session, I'll reach out to connect. We'll talk through your vision, what you want to wear, and anything on your mind. If you want professional hair and make up (which I highly recommend for maternity and newborn sessions) we can send our list of vetted artists. This is where the prep happens so session day can just feel easy.
We plan your session together
03. SESSION DAY
Come as you are. I'll guide you through the whole thing naturally — poses, movement, moments. Kids doing their thing? That's exactly where the real images are. The session is relaxed, fun, and always goes faster than you expect.
You just show up
04. GALLERY DELIVERY
Within two to three weeks, your full edited gallery lands in your inbox via a private link. Download, favorite, share — and if you'd like prints or an album, those are available too. We also can custom design wall art for your home.

The earlier the better, but we highly recommend booking your newborn session during your second trimester. This ensures you will secure a spot on our calendar, and provides flexibility should something change in your pregnancy. Check out our blog post about this question.

We have a beautifully curated closet full of goodies for you to play dress-up in during your session. We do have some bralettes and nipple covers, but we ask that you bring nude panties and a bra to ensure you have something that you know will fit.
