Billye Donya Photography Capturing life's joyful moments. Authentic imagery for all.

09/10/2026

It doesn’t get any newer, sweeter, tinier or fresher than this. A fresh 48. Moments captured before you take baby home, siblings come to meet them for the first time. You still have the hospital bands on, so does she, the world is a haze of soft baby sounds, endless cuddles and fractured sleep. But it is joy. And peace. She’s here. In your arms. The one you’ve been waiting for and you are forever changed.

New love
Newborn love
These at-home family sessions are evolving and becoming some so much more.
More satisfying.
More connected.
More authentic.
We’re getting the new babe and all their sweet littlenesses, but we’re also rolling with it, the chaos of the older sibling, pets entering the chat, jumping, climbing, inside, outside, nursing on demand - we’re not shying away from the real stuff.
Cuz the real stuff is the important stuff worth remembering. Worth keeping. That teeny babe will not be attached to your b**b forever, and yeah it might sting now (bb piranha) but mama, it is so, so sweet to witness and looking back it’ll be all roses.
Much thanks to this beautiful joyful family for inviting me into the fold of their lives, their home, it was such an honor to capture this snippet of time with you.
So grateful. So lucky 💕
Also, the vibe of this tune by the late and great Dolly Parton really just fit perfectly, had to use it!

Somehow this was a million years ago. This sweet family has been with me since that big little girl was in her mamas belly. And now we’re talking about her bat mitzvah next year.
I remember thinking how big she was when we had this session and now my little girl is the same size and it all went by in the blink of an eye.
My heart sings and aches in unison looking at these photos and realizing the importance of remembering.
Not just the big stuff like getting married, having a newborn, first birthday, bar/bat mitzvah - but the in between. I’ve been singing the praises of the in between for years. The in-between moments, literal moments when you’re walking and you glance at your person and your eyes crinkle in a way I could never direct you to do. Or the bigger in between, the phases of life when nothing ‘big’ is happening so maybe it’s not important? Except it’s the most important because life happening IS the thing worth remembering. The lost tooth, the lanky limbs that don’t fit the small child you hold in your heart, the giggle that is the perfect sound of childhood that you wish you could put in a jar for to revisit in 10, 20 years…
These are the good ole days. Right now. And they’re swirly. And they deserve to be remembered because our kids spend most of their lives as adults. And dammit that stings.

MINIS ARE ALL GONE
😭😭😭
But wait, that’s great news!
And I’m so so so thankful to all of you who made this possible - thank you thank you thank you so much!!
Truly my heart is so full 💕

What we do have available are full sessions. I’ve reserved select weekend dates from now until the holidays just for full sessions.
What does this mean?
No time pressure
A location of your choice
A date of your choice
Timing that works best for your family - naps, sports, early bedtimes? No worries!
Want to bring a pup or your mom and dad? PLEASE DO!
These sessions are fully custom to you and what works best for your family. Which allows for freedom during our time, play, cuddle, laugh, lean in to it all. That’s where those golden nuggets live, that sadly, minis can’t allot for in the same way.
If this sounds good to you, message me, I want to meet you and help you build family photos that you’ll love for years and years
