A gentle, unhurried experience where every tiny detail is captured with care
Your Story, Your Way
Your New York & New Jersey Newborn Portrait Experience
From the tiniest eyelashes to the way they curl into your arms, I focus on all the little things that make your baby uniquely yours. These early days are fleeting, but your portraits will hold on to every detail—so you never have to forget how small, how new, and how deeply loved they were.
Because these first days together - every tiny breath, every peaceful dream - are writing your family's story
Your Portraits Should Capture Every Precious Detail

"Looking at these images, I can still feel his newborn weight in my arms. The way he would curl up on my chest. How small he was against my hand."

A session to capture the details you never want to forget
The Signature Newborn Session is a calm, baby-led experience designed to capture your family’s love in the most natural way. Held in the comfort of your home or a beautiful outdoor location, the session lasts approximately 2.5 hours—allowing plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and snuggling so you never feel rushed. With a soft, timeless style and a mama’s touch, I’ll document the tender details you’ll never want to forget.
Capture every precious milestone as your little one grows
Maternity & Portrait Sessions are available à la carte and designed to celebrate the beauty of every season—whether you’re documenting your pregnancy, a growing baby, or a meaningful milestone. These 1- 1.5-hour sessions can take place in studio or outdoors and are ideal for maternity, family, sitter, or first birthday portraits.

"When my daughter ASKS about her first days, these photos will show her exactly how perfect she was. They capture all the beauty I saw when I first held her."
FAQ
Newborn sessions are typically held within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are still sleepy and love to be swaddled. But if you need more time, don’t worry—I approach every session with flexibility and warmth, whether your little one is 1 week or 1 month.
When is the best time to photograph my newborn?
I offer in-home sessions and on-location (outdoor) options. In-home sessions are perfect for cozy, natural moments in your space. If the weather is lovely and you’re feeling up for it, we can also explore a nearby park or garden for a fresh-air session.
Where do sessions take place?
It’s completely normal—and totally okay. I approach every session with calm energy and endless patience. I’m a mom too, so I’ve been there. We'll take breaks as needed and capture the beauty in the in-between moments.
What if my baby is fussy or doesn’t sleep?
I recommend soft, neutral tones and simple, comfortable outfits that feel like you. I’m happy to send over a style guide and help you plan outfits that photograph beautifully and complement your home’s aesthetic.
What should we wear for our newborn session?
You’ll receive a fully edited online gallery with a curated selection of 50–75 images, typically delivered within 2–3 weeks. These images are yours to download, share, and print as you like.
How many images will we receive, and when?
Yes! Your gallery includes access to my professional print shop, where you can order heirloom albums, framed prints, and more—designed to preserve your memories beautifully.
Do you offer albums or prints?
