Newborn Photography at Home in Coral Gables
An in-home newborn session lets your family stay where these first days are actually unfolding. There is no need to pack a diaper bag or rush out the door. I use natural window light and meaningful spaces in your Coral Gables home to photograph cuddling, tiny details and the connection between your baby, parents and siblings. Gentle guidance keeps the experience calm without asking your family to perform.
A nursery, the bed where you settle together or a comfortable corner beside a window can become part of the story. Your home does not need to look like a magazine. Clear a little space where the light is good and keep the things you need for your baby close by. Feeding, changing and soothing are part of the rhythm, not interruptions. Awake expressions and sleepy stretches can both be worth remembering.
The story does not end after the newborn days. Milestone photographs can follow the ways your child changes: watching your face, reaching for a favorite toy, sitting with support when appropriate or sharing a first birthday with family. We plan around your child's stage and comfort, without asking for a skill or expression they are not ready to give.
Tell me who matters in your family's story, including siblings, grandparents or pets you hope to include. For a later milestone, we can discuss whether your home or an outdoor setting feels right. Any outdoor portion depends on your child's needs, the weather and access at the chosen location.

Planning Your Coral Gables Newborn Session
Choose the chapter you want to preserve.
The current Newborn Package is $650 for 1.5–2 hours at home, with 80–120 photographs with color correction. For a longer story, the Baby’s First Year package is currently $2,210 for five sessions. The first is a 1.5–2-hour newborn session, followed by four one-hour sessions. Check the pricing and booking calendar for current details before reserving.
Plan around your family.
If you are expecting, inquire during pregnancy and share your due date. Discuss how the date will be confirmed after your baby arrives rather than relying on a fixed birth schedule. For milestones or birthdays, share your preferred dates, your child’s age and the people you would like included.
Prepare a few comfortable spaces.
We can discuss when your home receives its best natural light. Choose comfortable clothing in colors that work together, without making every outfit identical. Keep feeding and changing supplies nearby. A favorite blanket, toy or familiar chair can matter more to your story than extra decorations.
Let the session unfold.
There is time to hold, feed and settle your baby. Parents do not need to know how to pose, and siblings can join at their own pace. For outdoor milestone portraits, discuss heat, rain, travel and access beforehand. Ask about delivery timing, image selection, any artwork options and rescheduling terms when you book so you know what to expect.
Coral Gables Newborn & Milestone FAQs
When should I book a newborn session?
Inquire during pregnancy if possible. Share your due date and discuss how the session date will be confirmed after birth. If your baby has already arrived, ask about current availability.
Does my baby need to be asleep?
No. An at-home story can include awake expressions, feeding, cuddling and sleep. We follow your baby’s comfort rather than requiring a particular pose.
How much space or light do I need?
A few comfortable areas with natural window light are enough to start planning. Tell me about your home and when it feels brightest; a spotless house or a dedicated nursery is not required.
Can siblings, grandparents or pets join?
Tell me who you want to include when we plan. Family connection is central to the photographs. Young siblings can join gently, and pets should be included only when it is comfortable and safe for everyone.
Do you photograph milestones and first birthdays?
Yes. We can document your child’s next chapter at home or discuss an appropriate outdoor setting. The current Baby’s First Year package includes five sessions; view current packages and confirm the stages you want to capture.
How much is a newborn session?
The current Newborn Package is $650 for 1.5–2 hours at home, with 80–120 photographs with color correction. Confirm current pricing, availability and delivery details before booking.
Can we take photographs outdoors in Coral Gables?
We can discuss an outdoor option for your family or a later milestone. The plan depends on your child’s age, light, heat and weather. Confirm access, permissions and any fees for the specific setting before making arrangements.
