You should reach out around the 20th week of your pregnancy. The halfway mark leaves us plenty of time to schedule. I like to photograph expectant mamas between 26-32 weeks of pregnancy.

It works best to book your newborn session at the same time you book your maternity session! So, plan to reach out around the 20th week of your pregnancy. If you need to book after 20 weeks, no worries- just reach out and we’ll check for availability near your due date!

If you want sleepy, classic newborn photos. It’s best to schedule in the first 3 weeks of life while your baby will be most easy to settle.

If you’d like more time to settle after welcoming your baby, photos scheduled between 6-9 weeks post birth can be a fun way to capture baby a bit more alert and awake, yet still tiny during the “newborn phase.” Often, older newborns end up sleeping a bit as well.

Don’t worry! I have a special guide to help with all things what to wear for both maternity & newborn sessions. 

I photograph family mini sessions each Fall, and I take a limited number of milestone sessions for clients who book the Belly to Baby membership.

Within 1 week of your session you’ll receive sneak peek photos.

Within 30 days of your session, you’ll receive a link to the full digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images.

The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes super easy and convenient.

I primarily shoot newborns and their families in-home. However, a studio is an option for an additional fee. I really encourage in-home sessions for the comfortable, intimate feeling they provide. Especially in the immediate weeks postpartum, it’s so convenient to not have to leave your home!

I sometimes have clients who are in the middle of moving, renovating, or crave the lifestyle newborn *feel* but don’t believe their home has adequate light, etc. Definitely inquire and we can chat about your unique concerns and studio options!
