Newborn & Baby Milestones (3, 6, 9, 12 month)
THE EXPERIENCE
The first year of your baby’s life passes in what feels like the blink of an eye. One moment they are tiny and curled up in your arms, and before you know it they are smiling, sitting, crawling, and taking their very first steps. These sessions are about preserving all of those little in-between moments before they become memories.
My approach to newborn photography is natural, baby-led, and connection focused. Rather than heavily posed images, I want to document your baby exactly as they are — the tiny features, sleepy stretches, little expressions, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms during these first days. We’ll gently guide the session with swaddles, soothing, and natural interaction while capturing the love, emotion, and excitement that surrounds this season for your family.
Newborn sessions are available either in your home as a lifestyle session or in studio for a more timeless and minimal setting. While newborn sessions are ideally photographed within the first three weeks after birth, older newborns are absolutely welcome too. My session style allows flexibility, so there’s no pressure if your baby is a little past that “perfect” newborn window.
Baby milestone sessions can take place in studio or outdoors and are designed to capture all the beautiful stages throughout your baby’s first year. Whether you choose to document every milestone — 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and one year — or simply focus on a few favorite stages like sitting up or that first birthday, your session experience can be customized to fit your family and the moments you want to remember most.
F.A.Q.
Before your session
The goal of your newborn session is to keep things calm, comfortable, and baby-led. If possible, try to keep baby awake for a little while (a couple of hours) before your session so they’re ready to settle once we begin. If you have a long drive come a tad early....feeding right before the session can also help everyone ease in smoothly.
Please dress baby in something simple and easy to remove, like a zip-up sleeper or button pajamas. I provide wraps and minimal styling pieces, but you’re always welcome to bring sentimental items, hats, headbands - smaller ones are usually better for these portraits, special outfits, or heirloom pieces you’d love included.
If siblings are coming for newborn sessions - bringing an extra set of hands (grandparent, aunt, friend, etc.) is helpful - but if you can't. No problem. We will make it work either way!
Baby milestone sessions - make sure they eat before they come! Bring snacks, neutral - small toys that you wouldn't mind being photographed if needed and just bring all the silliness you have!

F.A.Q.
what to wear
Your newborn or baby milestone session should feel timeless, natural, and most importantly — comfortable.
After booking, we’ll talk through styling together so everything feels cohesive and true to your family. Soft neutrals, textures, flowy dresses, cozy knits, or even a simple button-up and jeans photograph beautifully. If your session is in studio, you’re welcome to arrive in comfortable clothes and change once you get there so outfits stay fresh and wrinkle-free.
Since the studio is kept warm for baby’s comfort, you may also want to bring touch-up makeup or anything you’d like to freshen up with during your session.

F.A.Q.
What to expect
Every newborn session is designed around your family and the connection you share during this season of life. My approach is relaxed, baby-led, and focused on preserving genuine moments rather than perfection.
We’ll move at baby’s pace with plenty of time for soothing, feeding, and cuddling along the way. Whether you love soft neutrals, earthy tones, or a more emotional lifestyle feel, your session will be tailored to your vision while creating timeless images that feel natural and meaningful.
*Cake smashes - cake is included - it is usually neutral with minimal design - but design can match your theme - you can bring a topper of your choice and we will design your one-year milestone around your theme if needed, too! It doesn't have to be all white/neutral.
I can't wait to see you!
