newborn photography
Newborn sessions are baby-led. Is baby asleep and happy being put down? Great, we'll start there are get some beautiful and organic headshots. Does baby just want to cuddle in mom or dad's arms for the entire session? Great, we can get some absolutely beautiful images either way!
You won't find any babies propped up in buckets or other unnatural poses around here. The organic moments, the connections and the little details that represent this fleeting stage are the images I'm after. Let's create imagery that brings you right back to this season - images that you can feel.
The newborn stage is short lived. It's vulnerable and exhausting and full of so much love and joy.
Mama, I know you have a lot on your plate. Let's make things as simple and natural as possible.

Tampa Newborn Photographer
MY APPROACH TO Newborn PHOTOGRAPHY
Newborn sessions are typically captured during baby's first 1-3 weeks, however if baby is older do not worry, the great thing about lifestyle photography is that we can still capture beautiful newborn-style images up to 3 months of age!
When

Sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home or my South Tampa studio.
In Home: We will pick 1-3 spots throughout the house with the best natural light: commonly a bedroom, nursery, or living room.

ALL ABOUT NEWBORN SESSIONS
You will receive a detailed session prep guide upon booking which includes all sorts of tips as well as wardrobe guidance and access to my client closet.

The pictures she took for my sons newborn photos are stunning. She not only captured great photos of him but of the entire family consisting of two older toddler siblings. We will definitely use her again for more family photos!

Newborn Frequently asked questions
I do not put a time cap on my newborn sessions in order to allow for a laid-back, baby-led experience with milk and cuddle breaks as needed. Most sessions last about 1.5 hours.
How long do NEWBORN sessions last?
You can expect your full edited digital gallery via e-mail about 2-3 weeks after our session together. Don't worry, you'll get to see a sneak peek or two on social media while you wait (with you permission of course)!
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY IMAGES?
I have carefully curated a collection of timeless products including fine art prints, frames, print boxes and albums which are available for purchase right through your gallery store. Complimentary album design is available upon request!
do you offer products?
I suggest reaching out to book your newborn session as soon as you get in to your second trimester! I only take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month in order to ensure I give each client the time and attention they deserve.
How far in advance should we book?
I do offer Fresh 48 photography! These are photos taken at the hospital or birthing center in the first 1-2 days of life. Book a Fresh 48 in addition to your newborn session, or as a stand alone option.
do you offer in hospital photos?
Deciding on your session location can sometimes be a challenge, and you do not have to choose right away! I have created a blog post to help discuss the pros and cons of in-home vs. studio newborn sessions here.
HOW DO WE CHOOSE A session LOCATION?
Sessions include travel within a 20 mile radius of Downtown Tampa. If you are further away and are interested in booking with me, please reach out and I will send a custom quote for additional travel fees, which begin at $50.
do you travel?
Lifestyle Photography is a less posed style of session flow, where I try to capture the moments of this season in your life as they truly are. I want to document the connection between family members and focus on the little details, not distracting props and forced smiles.
