What to look for in a newborn photographer?

When parents are expecting, they often don’t realize that newborn photography is a specialized field that requires experience, patience, and careful posing.

When choosing a newborn photographer, make sure you look for someone who prioritizes safety, has a consistent portfolio, understands posing and lighting, and provides professionally edited images that are meant to last a lifetime.

Most families book their newborn session during pregnancy to ensure availability in those first few weeks.

A two hour newborn session, simplified into a few quiet moments.

What you don’t see is the years of experience, the preparation before you arrive, the calm environment, the gentle posing, and the patience it takes to create each portrait safely and beautifully.

To you, it feels calm and effortless.�
To me, it’s 10 years of experience guiding every step.

What goes into a newborn session is so much more than most people realize.

Set design.
Careful lighting.
Safe, gentle posing.
Years of experience.
And hours of hand editing every final image.

What looks simple is actually a process built on experience, patience, and an eye for the smallest details — because these are the portraits your baby will grow up seeing on your walls.

There is a quiet beauty in this season.
The waiting. The anticipation. The love that already exists before you’ve even met.

Maternity sessions aren’t just about documenting a pregnancy — they’re about remembering what it felt like to be right here, on the edge of everything changing.

Choosing a newborn photographer is a little different than choosing a photographer for any other type of session. Newborn photography requires specific experience, careful posing, and an understanding of how to safely and gently handle a brand new baby while creating beautiful, timeless portraits.

If you’re currently expecting and starting to research photographers, here are a few things I always recommend looking for. Make sure your photographer has experience specifically with newborns, not just general photography. Look for a consistent portfolio with clean editing, soft lighting, and safely posed babies. Ask about how the session flows — newborn sessions should always be calm, baby-led, and never rushed, with time built in for feeding, soothing, and cuddling. You’ll also want to make sure your photographer provides professionally finished images that are meant to be printed and displayed in your home, not just files that live on your phone.

After 10 years of photographing newborns, I can tell you that experience, safety, and consistency make all the difference when it comes to your baby’s first portraits. These are the images your child will grow up seeing on the walls and flipping through in albums years from now, so choosing the right photographer is an important decision.

Most families reserve their newborn session during pregnancy to make sure they have a spot within those first few weeks after baby arrives.

Heirloom portraits don’t begin on your walls — they begin here, in the quiet moments while your baby is still so new.
�Curled up. Sleepy. Tiny in every way.

These are the portraits your child will grow up seeing, the ones that will hang in your home for years, and the ones you’ll hold onto long after they’re no longer this small.

Most families reserve their newborn session during pregnancy to make sure these first days are never forgotten.

It starts with a newborn session, then before you know it, we’re celebrating with cake, bubbles, and the biggest personality you’ve ever seen.
One year. So many changes. So many memories.

Soft light, ocean breeze, and the kind of moments you wish you could hold onto forever 🤍

Nothing forced, nothing perfect—just your family as you are. Barefoot in the sand, laughter carried in the wind, little hands finding yours without even thinking.
These nights pass quickly…�but this feeling doesn’t have to.

If a beach session has been on your heart, consider this your sign💛

13 days old… and already changing.
Those curled toes, delicate lashes, the way they fit so perfectly in your hands—these are the details that slip away faster than you expect.
Before the sleepless nights blur together and the days start moving a little too quickly, take a moment to preserve this stage exactly as it is.
Because one day, these tiny features will feel like a distant memory 🤍
