NEWBORN PACKAGE

Service Description

Newborn sessions take place entirely in the comfort of your home, where your family can slow down, stay close, and simply be together. There is no need to pack a bag, travel with a newborn, or fit your baby into a schedule. We follow their rhythm, feeding when they need to be fed, taking breaks when they need them, and leaving plenty of time for cuddles. My approach is natural and baby-led. I don't use props, backdrops, elaborate setups, or traditional newborn posing. Instead, I photograph your baby as they are in your arms, in their crib, during a feeding, stretching, sleeping, and surrounded by the people who already love them so deeply. When is the best time for a newborn session? The first 1-2 weeks are usually the most comfortable time for a newborn session. Your baby is still very sleepy, naturally curled up, and often settles more easily between feedings and cuddles. And while it may feel like you are absolutely not ready to have photos taken so soon after coming home, this early window often allows us to move slowly and gently around your baby's natural rhythm. There is no strict deadline, though. If the first two weeks don't work for your family, we can absolutely photograph your baby later. Between approximately 3-8 weeks, babies tend to become more alert and sensitive to what is happening around them. They may stay awake for longer stretches, need more soothing and feeding breaks, and sometimes have a harder time settling into a deep sleep. A beautiful session is still completely possible - we simply follow your baby's needs and allow more time when necessary. If you missed the traditional newborn window altogether, around 12 weeks can be another wonderful stage to photograph. By then, your baby is more interactive, may begin smiling and making eye contact, and gives us longer awake windows to capture their growing personality. And those rounder cheeks are pretty wonderful, too. So if you have a choice, I recommend scheduling your newborn session within the first two weeks after birth. But if life doesn't go according to plan, don't worry. There is something beautiful to remember at every stage. You don't need a perfect home, a perfectly sleepy baby, or a perfectly planned morning. You just need to be together. These photographs are about remembering what those first days actually felt like, how tiny your baby was in your arms, the way they curled against your chest, and the beginning of your family's new chapter.
