First Year and Milestone Baby Photography

Most expecting parents schedule maternity portraits between 28 and 36 weeks. At that point your bump is beautifully round but you are usually still comfortable enough to move and pose with ease.

Newborn studio sessions are ideal within the first 5 to 14 days, while babies sleep deeply and curl naturally. Lifestyle and Fresh 48 sessions can happen a little later or right at the hospital.

Form-fitting gowns and solid colors flatter a baby bump best. We keep a selection of dresses on hand, and many parents bring a second outfit so we can vary the look during the session.

Yes, when handled by a trained professional. We prioritize your baby's safety above every shot, using secure poses, spotters when needed, and a warm room, and we never force a pose that causes discomfort.

Bring extra diapers, a change of clothes, a pacifier, and any props with sentimental value. Feeding your baby just before we begin helps keep them sleepy, settled, and content throughout the session.

Newborn sessions run longer than most, often 2 to 3 hours. That extra time allows for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes, ensuring your baby stays calm and we never have to rush a single frame.
