Brand New Baby Mini Sessions

More specifics to come about this session! This is a “mini” session, not a full newborn session. Expect a 1-1.5 hour shoot that’s just for baby. Family and sibling shots are not included with this session. Session will consist mostly of wrapped/swaddled shots within 3-4 different set ups.*

Prints, specialty products and digital images are not included, but can be purchased once the gallery is complete.

Allow 2-3 weeks after your session is over for editing and online posting. A private online gallery of your images will be available to view and purchase prints for 30 days. The opportunity to schedule a one-on-one Order Consultation is also available.

Frequently Asked Questions


When to do it.

I prefer to photograph my newborns within the first two weeks of life (ideally between 5-10 days). It’s within this time frame that they are most likely to sleep the soundest so posing and positioning is less likely to wake them.

Babies change so fast and it’s easy to forget how little they once were. Newborn photos help to preserve the memory of their itty bitty selves because they’ll never look like this again. It’s also very common for colic and baby acne to develop after the second week; and although it maybe possible for me to take out blemishes, getting a colicy baby to sleep soundly and pose in all of those cute positions can be next to impossible.


Where to do it.

I photograph all of my newborns in my studio where all of my special hats, blankets, baskets and props are close at hand.


How long will it take.

New babies require a lot of patience. I will never rush a session and take as much time as we need, allowing your baby to be my guide. Newborn sessions can therefore take 2-3 hours to complete. I want you to feel completely relaxed and enjoy every moment of your session without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.


When to book.

In order to make sure that you secure a booking for your newborn baby, it is very important to contact me to reserve a date while you are still pregnant, preferably within your 2nd trimester or beginning of your 3rd. We’ll schedule a day that works closest to your due date and once your baby finally arrives, we can rearrange as necessary to keep within those ever important first 10 days of life.


What to expect.

A very warm environment and a comfy couch where parents can sit back and relax, even bring a magazine or book to read! Your baby will be bare bummed for a long time so come prepared with lots of baby wipes for accidents. I always have a stack of towels on hand for them as well. It can get messy and that’s okay. Sometimes when posing your baby with you they can have accidents, so it may not be a bad idea to bring an extra pair of pants or shirt, I do for myself.

I started something 😬 It’s always scary when you do something new. Will it work the way I’ve intended it to? Will people see the value in it the way I hope they will? But here it goes anyway…

Introducing…my own Like To Know page! 

You could be wondering what the heck this is. If you’ve done much shopping online in the last few years via social media influencers you might have come across the Like to Know (LTK) app. It’s a great place for people to find fashion, makeup, skincare, home decor, and so much more. Creators post links to items they love (or are paid to promote) and users can favorite products and shop via the provided links. 

For so many years I’ve helped my clients pick outfits for maternity, newborn, family, kids, and even senior sessions. Sure, outfits aren’t everything, but they can absolutely take a simple mini session to the next level. I have guides that can help with outfit selection but honestly, people don’t read them or it just leaves them wondering where to start. Quite a few photographers have huge client closets they provide access to for their clients. Thousands of dollars worth of dresses and clothes. But I just couldn’t justify that avenue. 

Insert, LTK! While walking on the treadmill last week I thought, what if I had an LTK site where I could post outfit inspo to anyone, for everyone? I could coordinate family outfit ideas and share them, not only with my clients, but with anyone needing to dress a family of 3 or 4 or 10+. I could find some really fun outfits for high school senior girls and guys to help elevate their sessions. Outfits that really look good when photographed - there’s a difference. Wouldn’t this make their life just a little bit easier? (Read more in the comments)
