Newborn Photography Pricing




For the first quiet days, the tiny details, and the beginning of your family’s next chapter.


My newborn sessions are calm, natural, and baby-led. There is no pressure for your baby to sleep perfectly or do anything on cue. We move gently, allowing time for feeding, soothing, sibling snuggles, and the real tenderness of life with a new baby.


These photographs are meant to feel soft, honest, and timeless — the kind of images that bring you back to the weight of your baby in your arms.

A gentle newborn experience


Newborn sessions are never rushed. Babies need time, and so do new parents.


You do not need a perfectly clean house. You do not need a baby who sleeps the whole time. You do not need toddlers who behave perfectly.


You simply need to show up as you are.


I’ll guide you when needed, but the heart of the session is always connection — your baby in your arms, your family gathered close, the soft details of this new life.



Add a newborn film


Because someday you won’t remember the exact sound of that newborn cry, or the way your baby stretches in your arms.


You’ll remember the feeling — but it fades at the edges.


A newborn film keeps the feeling intact: the movement, the tiny expressions, the rhythm of your home, the way your partner looks at you when you’re both running on no sleep.


If you know you want to remember more than the photo, ask about adding a newborn film to your session.


When to book


The best time to reserve your newborn session is during pregnancy. Once your baby arrives, we will confirm the final date based on your baby’s arrival and your family’s rhythm.

FAQ


When should I book my newborn session?


It is best to book during pregnancy so your due date is on the calendar. Once your baby arrives, we will choose the final session date together.


What if my baby does not sleep?


That is completely okay. Your baby does not need to sleep for the session to be beautiful. Awake moments, stretching, feeding, and being held are all part of the story.


Can siblings be included?


Yes. Siblings are welcome and encouraged. I approach sibling moments gently and without pressure, especially when toddlers are involved.


Where do newborn sessions happen?


Most newborn sessions take place at home, where your family is most comfortable. We can also discuss another natural setting if that feels like the right fit.


How long does it take to get our gallery?


Your gallery is delivered within 2 weeks.


If you are ready to preserve these first days in a way that feels natural, warm, and deeply meaningful, I would love to photograph them for you.
