Session Breakdown

Family portrait with parents, newborn baby, and two young girls in matching pink dresses against gray backdrop.

For our Classic Newborn Experience, we begin with the people who will love this little one for a lifetime.

We’ll start with beautifully composed portraits of parents and siblings. These portraits are typically photographed against a soft, timeless white backdrop, creating a clean and elegant aesthetic.

Prefer something a little warmer or more refined? Soft grey or warm tan are also available upon request to keep a neutral vibe.
Siblings are free to be dismissed from the studio after this portion.

Begin With Family

The tiniest details are often the ones you’ll treasure most.

During your session, I’ll slow down to beautifully capture the delicate features that make your baby uniquely yours—from their wispy lashes and sweet little lips to their fuzzy ears, soft newborn hair, tiny fingers, and all the precious details you’ll wish you could hold onto forever.

These intimate portraits preserve the beauty of your baby exactly as they are in this fleeting season.

Macro Details

Sleeping newborn baby swaddled in white wrap, wearing floral headband, resting in wicker basket with white flowers.

A portrait of pure newborn simplicity and timeless elegance. Your baby is delicately swaddled and nestled within our signature cradle, surrounded by carefully curated textures and soft, understated styling. Every detail is thoughtfully composed to create an heirloom portrait that celebrates the exquisite beauty of these fleeting first days while keeping the main focus on your little one.

The Baby Bed

Sleeping newborn baby in a white floral bucket surrounded by purple flowers on a rustic white chair.

One of my absolute favorites. The Bucket is where we can get a little more creative and truly make the portrait your own. From soft neutrals to beautiful pops of color, I’ll thoughtfully incorporate your requested color palette into the styling, creating a custom look chosen specifically for your baby.

With your little one safely and gently supported throughout the pose, this sweet setup creates a charming portrait full of personality—a little piece of artistry made just for them.

The Bucket Pose

Collage of five newborn babies sleeping peacefully in bowls and baskets, styled in soft wraps and knit bear outfits.

A beautifully curated prop that brings an organic, artful element to your baby’s portraiture. Choose from woven bamboo, classic wicker, or a beautifully rounded solid bread bowl, each offering its own unique character and texture.

The bowl can be thoughtfully styled around your chosen color palette, allowing us to create anything from soft and understated to warm and richly layered. Every detail is selected with your baby and your vision in mind, creating a portrait that feels uniquely yours.

The Bowl Prop

A collection of 5 beautifully composed table poses, each designed with one purpose in mind: keeping your baby at the heart of the portrait. From sweet, curled-up details to delicate expressions and tiny features, these poses showcase your little one in their purest form. Typically photographed in my signature Bear Jammies.

This portion of the session creates a beautifully cohesive collection of portraits to treasure for years to come.
