Newborn Session

Those first few days with your newborn are pure magic—a whirlwind of tiny toes, sweet snuggles, and a love that grows with every passing moment. These precious, fleeting moments deserve to be cherished and preserved. My newborn sessions are always conducted in the comfort of your home, creating a cozy and relaxed environment where we can easily adapt to your baby’s needs—whether it’s feeding, soothing, or changing. There’s no rush, no pressure—just calm, joyful moments focused on you and your little one.

I recommend scheduling newborn sessions within the first 14 days after birth, as babies are typically sleepier and more content during this time. Read more about why this period is so special in my blog.

That said, every family is unique, and not every mother may feel ready in those early days. I’m happy to accommodate your schedule and find a time that feels right for you. 

Plus, I’ve created a helpful Guide to answer all your questions and make the preparation process as smooth as possible.

Capturing the interactions between siblings and the newborn is also an essential part of these sessions. If you’d like a session focused on the whole family, feel free to explore my Family Session Packages.

Ready for booking?

It’s a good idea to book your newborn session while you are still pregnant, as things can get a bit hectic once the baby arrives.
