Relaxed, low key, and in the comfort of your home, lifestyle newborn sessions are an easy way to make sure you remember just the way it was.
Newborn sessions in your home mean a more relaxed experience in a comforting, familiar space. Everything you need to keep baby happy is within arms reach.
A baby-led approach to newborn photography sessions looks like breaking any time for bottles and diaper changes, lots of time and space to cuddle and comfort your baby, and less pressure for baby to sleep on a certain timeline.
My newborn offerings go beyond that first in-home session. Dreamy Hospital sessions and heirloom Baby's First Year packages are also available!
Stunning lifestlye newborn photography in the comfort of your home.
You've combed through my website and blog and you like what you see. Have questions? Ready to book? Start a conversation to get answers to all of your questions and start the booking process. Expect a quick reply from me!
Step one
Ready to roll? A deposit and contract hold a spot on my calendar during the month you are due. I'll send a style guide and "how to prepare" guide to help you feel your most confident ahead of the session.
Step two
Yes, yes, yes! If you know you want some photos of this most exciting life transition, I'll send a custom pricing package. We'll schedule the maternity session during months 7 or 8 of your pregnancy.
Once baby is born, you'll let me know the happy news! We will compare our calendars at that point and get a date down sometime within those first two weeks after you come home from the hospital.
Step three
It's finally here! Baby's arrived and you'll finally get some photos to share with your loved ones. I plan on being at your home for around 2 hours, which gives us plenty of time for nursing breaks, diaper changes, and a perfectly un-rushed pace.
Step four
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about three weeks of your session. Client care is top priority, and I love sending you sneak peeks and updates along the way!
