Private Client Lounge

Your newborn session will take place right in the comfort of your home—the place where your story is unfolding right now. I know those first days (and nights) can feel like such a blur, so my goal is to make this experience as relaxed and stress-free as possible.

My approach is lifestyle photography with a fine art touch, which simply means I’m not looking for stiff poses or perfectly styled rooms. Instead, I’ll guide you into natural moments while capturing the little details that make this season so fleeting and beautiful—the way your baby fits in your arms, tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the quiet pauses in between.

And here’s the good news: your home doesn’t need to be spotless. All I need is a window with good light and the love you already have for your baby. We’ll follow your baby’s lead, taking breaks for feeding, diaper changes, or snuggles whenever they’re needed. Truly, the pauses are part of the story too.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about preserving what life really feels like in these first tender weeks.

When I arrive, I’ll take a quick peek around to see where the light is best—that’s what really matters most. Sometimes it’s the couch, the nursery, or even your bedroom. I’ll adapt to whatever space feels right for your family. And please don’t stress about cleaning before I come. I know life with a newborn is beautifully messy, and I’m not looking for perfection. If we need to shift a blanket or tuck something out of sight, we’ll do it together in seconds. What matters is you and your baby, not the state of your living room.

What Not to Worry About

I want you to know there are a few things you absolutely don’t need to stress over before your newborn session:

• A spotless house – I promise, I’m not here to judge. Laundry piles, dishes in the sink, toys on the floor… that’s real life, and it’s beautiful. I only need a pocket of good light, and we can clear a tiny space together if needed.

• Perfectly behaved siblings – Toddlers will be toddlers, and older kids might be silly or shy. That’s all part of your story. I’ll work with their personalities, and often the “in-between” moments end up being the most treasured.

• Pets wandering in – If your dog hops on the bed or your cat curls up nearby, it just adds to the authenticity of your family’s story.

• Baby’s mood – Crying, cluster feeding, diaper blowouts—none of it fazes me. We go at your baby’s pace, pausing when needed. Those breaks are part of the story too.

Your only job is to be present with your little one. I’ll take care of the rest.

A neutral onesie or simple swaddle is perfect. No fancy props needed—your baby is enough.

Since the session takes place in your home, I recommend wearing neutral, comfortable clothing that makes you feel good. If you need any help deciding what to wear, feel free to reach out. Iʼve also put together a blog post and Pinterest board with outfit ideas to inspire you.

Iʼm so excited to capture these precious moments with you! If you have any questions leading up to the session, donʼt hesitate to email me. I look forward to seeing you soon and creating beautiful memories together!

I usually recommend sessions within the first 2–3 weeks, but don’t stress—beautiful images happen whether your baby is 4 days old or 4 weeks.

Choose soft, neutral, and comfortable outfits. Flowing dresses, sweaters, and bare feet photograph beautifully. For siblings, keep it simple—think cozy textures and avoid loud logos.
