NEWBORN PORTRAITS

memories you will want to hold on to forever

As a mother, I understand how quickly the little moments pass—the way your baby curls their tiny hand around your finger, their first sleepy smiles, or the quiet stillness of holding them close. The newborn phase is full of moments you wish you could hold onto forever—the way your baby curls their tiny hand around your finger, their first sleepy smiles, or the quiet stillness of holding them close. My goal with newborn photography is to create meaningful images that you can revisit long after your little one has grown.

With a well-crafted method developed through countless sessions, I understand the delicate art of newborn posing and how to create a calm, safe, and enjoyable environment for both you and your baby. I’ve mastered techniques that gently guide your baby into poses that highlight their natural beauty.

LIFESTYLE & STUDIO

You can choose between the two styles, or opt for both to capture the full story of your newborn’s early days. Whether you prefer the timeless beauty of studio portraits or the natural, intimate moments of a lifestyle session, I’m here to create images you’ll cherish forever.

Our studio sessions are held in a portrait studio located in Forest, VA, where we create a calm and serene environment to photograph your newborn. These sessions focus on capturing timeless, classic portraits, with your baby in gentle, guided poses to highlight their natural beauty. The studio offers a controlled, peaceful setting to ensure your little one is as comfortable as possible.

Lifestyle newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your own home, giving a more relaxed and personal feel to the photos. These sessions are all about capturing real, unposed moments between your newborn and family. We’ll take photos in various areas of your home—your family room, nursery, and master bedroom—to showcase the everyday beauty of your family life. This style is perfect for those who want a more natural, intimate look, with the focus on family connections and the environment that surrounds your new baby.

Newborn Photography investment information

Newborn Portrait sessions are $350 to book and include a $200 credit towards prints or digital files. The newborn session fee is $150, but a $200 credit towards digitals or prints is collected at booking. After your session, we will pick a time for you to come back to the studio to view and order prints or digitals. At that time, you will spend your $200 credit on the prints or products of your choice. There is no additional charge for parent & sibling photographs with your newborn session.

Some parents want to book a studio and lifestyle session to capture all the details of this special time. In home lifestyle sessions can be added onto a studio session for an additional $75. Lifestyle sessions take place on a different day than your studio newborn session and are conducted in the comfort of your own home. The focus of these sessions is primarily set on the interaction between the new baby and their family and surroundings rather than getting the perfect pose. For this reason, lifestyle sessions always include family & siblings. We will take photos at various spots in your home, such as your family room, nursery, primary bedroom, or anywhere you chose.
