Michael | Baby Session

The ideal window is 5-14 days old when babies are sleepiest and most flexible for those curly, posed shots. However, we photograph newborns up to 4 weeks old—lifestyle sessions work beautifully at any age within the first month.

Plan for 2-3 hours. Newborns need time for feeding, soothing, diaper changes, and settling into poses. We work at your baby's pace with no rushing. Sessions are relaxed and flexible, accommodating your baby's needs throughout.

Both have advantages! In-home sessions offer comfort, convenience, and include your nursery and home environment. Studio sessions provide controlled lighting and a full range of props and backdrops. We offer both options and help you choose based on your preference.

Bring extra diapers, wipes, pacifiers (if used), and bottles/breastfeeding supplies. We provide all blankets, wraps, props, and backdrops. If you have special items (heirloom blankets, meaningful props), bring those too! Keep your home warm (75-80°F) for in-home sessions.

Safety is our absolute priority. All posed shots are achieved through gentle, patient handling. We never force babies into positions. Some "floating" or "hanging" poses you see online are composite images (multiple photos merged). We're trained in safe newborn posing and handling.

Absolutely! We recommend starting with solo baby shots while they're sleepiest, then adding family and sibling photos. We're experienced at working with toddlers and making family photos stress-free. Parent shots often include lifestyle moments of feeding, cuddling, and bonding.

Newborn sessions start at $500 and include 2-3 hours of photography, all props and setups, professional editing, and an online gallery. Most families receive 40-60 beautifully edited images. Print packages and albums are available as add-ons.

Totally normal! We pause for feeding, soothing, diaper changes—whatever your baby needs. Sessions are flexible and relaxed. Crying babies are part of newborn photography, and we're patient and experienced at soothing techniques. Your baby's comfort always comes first.

Your complete edited gallery is delivered within 3-4 weeks after your session. We share 5-10 sneak peek images within 48-72 hours. All images are professionally edited with our signature soft, timeless style and delivered via online gallery with download and print rights.

Yes! We recommend booking during your second trimester to secure your spot. Newborn photographers book up quickly, especially during busy seasons. After booking, you'll contact us once baby arrives, and we'll schedule your session within that ideal 5-14 day window.
