the Newborn experience

Timeless portraits of your baby’s first days—captured with care, comfort, and intention.

Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of the most profound and beautiful moments in life. My newborn sessions are designed to honor that magic while offering you a calm, cozy space to simply soak it in. From the moment you walk into the studio, everything is thoughtfully prepared so you can rest easy knowing your baby is in expert, loving hands.

STYLING & STUDIO PROPS

Simple. Organic. Elevated.

The studio is fully stocked with a beautifully curated collection of newborn wraps, blankets, bonnets, headbands, and minimal, timeless props—everything we need to create soft, organic portraits of your baby.

You’ll also have access to my client wardrobe with hand-selected pieces for both baby and mom (and options for siblings too). I’ll help you style your session with a cohesive, natural palette that photographs beautifully and complements your home and personal style.

You don’t need to bring anything—we take care of it all. A full prep guide is sent before your session to walk you through every step, including tips and makeup artist referrals if you'd like a little pampering before photos.

WHEN TO BOOK

Book while you're still expecting.
Newborn sessions are best scheduled for when baby is between 5–14 days old, while they are still sleepy and curled. This allows us to gently guide them into those classic, cozy poses.

To ensure availability, I recommend reserving your session during your second or early third trimester. We’ll pencil in your due date and confirm your session once baby arrives.

SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS

Your baby’s comfort and safety are my highest priority.

With years of experience in newborn photography, I use safe posing techniques and always follow your baby's cues. Sessions move at baby’s pace, with plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and snuggles.

The studio is thoroughly sanitized between sessions, and I only take a limited number of newborns each month to ensure a calm, unhurried environment for your family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to expect from your newborn session with an Atlanta Newborn Photographer

When should I book my newborn photography session?

To ensure availability, it's best to book your newborn photography session in Atlanta during your second or early third trimester. We’ll use your due date to tentatively reserve a spot on the calendar. Once your baby arrives, we’ll schedule the session for a time within the ideal 7–14 day window after birth, when newborns are sleepiest and easiest to pose.

Why are newborn photos done so early?

The first two weeks are a magical window—your baby is still tiny, curled, and very sleepy. This makes it easier to capture those timeless, cozy images with gentle posing and natural expressions. Booking early helps you preserve these fleeting moments with a professional newborn photographer in Atlanta who specializes in capturing this special stage.

What if I don’t know exactly when my baby will arrive?

That’s expected! Once you reserve your newborn session, we’ll use your due date as a placeholder, and I’ll keep flexibility around that time. Once your baby arrives, send me a quick message and we’ll confirm a date within that first two-week window.

Where does the session take place?

Newborn sessions are held in my Forest Park, GA photography studio, just outside Atlanta. It’s a cozy, private space inside a charming house—designed to help you feel right at home. The studio is fully stocked with everything needed for your session: curated props, blankets, wraps, and newborn outfits. You’ll be able to choose your preferred colors and styles in advance.
Prefer a more documentary approach? I also offer in-home lifestyle newborn sessions in Atlanta by request.

Do you offer hospital or Fresh 48 sessions?

Yes. I offer Fresh 48 newborn sessions in Atlanta hospitals and homes, which take place within the first 48 hours of your baby's arrival. These sessions are relaxed, documentary-style photo shoots that capture those first precious hours—feeding, swaddling, snuggling, and bonding with your newborn.

Can I schedule milestone sessions after the newborn phase?

Definitely. While the classic newborn window is within the first two weeks, I photograph babies at every stage of their first year. Popular milestone photography sessions include 6-month sitter sessions and 1-year cake smashes. Many families choose my Belly to Birthday plan, which includes maternity, newborn, and two milestone sessions to document baby’s entire first year.
