Every little princess deserves her own fairytale... 🐸

This sweet baby girl's newborn session was inspired by a beloved fairytale, featuring soft shades of green, yellow, and purple; elegant cream details; delicate florals; and the perfect tiny crown. Every detail came together to create a magical gallery that her family will treasure for years to come.

One of my favorite parts of being a newborn photographer is bringing each family's vision to life. Whether you dream of timeless neutrals or a creative themed setup inspired by your nursery, favorite story, or something meaningful to your family, I love designing sessions that are as unique as your little one.

I just shared a new blog featuring this enchanting Princess and the Frog-inspired newborn session and why custom newborn photography creates memories that are both personal and timeless.

Pink perfection and a great reminder for expecting parents.

This sweet girl's newborn session was absolutely dreamy—from the soft blush tones to her perfect little sleepy poses. Sessions like this are exactly why choosing the right newborn photographer matters so much.

When you're looking for a newborn photographer, it's about more than beautiful props and adorable photos. You want someone who prioritizes safety, has experience working with newborns, creates a calm and comfortable experience, and captures images you'll treasure for years to come.

I recently shared a blog post all about What to Look for in a Newborn Photographer in Birmingham, Alabama, and it's filled with tips to help expecting families know what questions to ask before booking.

✨ Safety.
✨ Experience.
✨ A stress-free experience.
✨ Timeless images you'll be proud to display in your home.

And this little lady's session is the perfect example of all of those things coming together beautifully.

A day late... oops! 😅

But we couldn't let Father's Day pass without celebrating all the amazing dads we get to meet in the studio. 💙

One of our favorite moments during newborn sessions is watching dads snuggle their babies close. Whether it's their very first baby or their fifth, that look of love, pride, and pure awe never gets old.

There’s something so special about seeing a tiny newborn curled up safely in Dad’s arms—a reminder of just how quickly these early days fly by.

To all the dads changing diapers, rocking babies at 2 a.m., giving mom a break, and loving their little ones with their whole hearts—we see you, and we celebrate you. Happy (belated) Father's Day!

📸Share your favorite dad-and-baby photo in the comments—we'd love to see them!

One of the most common questions I hear from expecting parents is:

"When should I book my newborn photography session?"

Many families are surprised to learn that the best time to reserve your newborn session is actually during your second trimester or early third trimester—not after baby arrives!

Newborn photographers often book months in advance, and planning ahead ensures you'll have a spot reserved when your little one makes their debut.

In my newest blog post, I'm sharing:
✨ When to book your newborn session
✨ Why the first 5–21 days are ideal for newborn portraits
✨ What happens if baby arrives early or late
✨ Why waiting until after delivery can limit your options

If you're expecting or know someone who is, this guide is a must-read!

One day, you'll look at your child and wonder how they ever fit so perfectly in your arms.

The newborn stage is filled with tiny details that change in the blink of an eye—sleepy smiles, tiny fingers wrapped around yours, and those precious newborn cuddles that never seem to last long enough.

As parents, we're often so busy living these moments that we don't realize how quickly they're becoming memories.

That's why I believe the newborn stage deserves to be remembered.

I just shared a new blog post about why newborn photography is so much more than beautiful pictures—it's about preserving a chapter of your family's story that can never be repeated.

Because babies don't keep.

If you're expecting and thinking about newborn photos, now is the perfect time to start planning. The first days go by quickly, but the memories can last forever.
