Newborn

Newborn sessions take place in your home in Haddonfield and surrounding South Jersey communities, where everyone is most comfortable and everything you need is already within reach. There’s no packing the car, no rushing out the door, and no pressure to keep things moving. We move slowly, with plenty of time for feedings, diaper changes, and breaks whenever they’re needed.

We can play music. Siblings can wander in and out. You can settle into the couch and simply hold your baby. The session becomes less about “getting photos” and more about soaking in the joy of this moment—when your baby is the tiniest they’ll ever be, and your world feels very small and very full all at once.

Finally, something about having a newborn is easy.

Relaxed in-home newborn photography in Haddonfield

When my daughter was born, everything suddenly felt very different. The days ran together. There were sleepy feeds in the middle of the night, tiny stretches and yawns, and those moments where you just sat there staring at them, wondering how someone so small could change your whole world so quickly.

That’s why newborn photography means so much to me. Those early weeks pass in a haze of learning, adjusting, and falling more in love every day. Newborn sessions let you slow down and capture your baby just as they are—the little toes, soft skin, and how perfectly they fit into your life—so years from now you can remember what it felt like when everything was brand new.

Why I Love Newborn Sessions

Every session begins with an intentional planning process centered on your family and this season of life. I’ll guide you through wardrobe, timing, and the details in advance, so you’re not managing logistics while adjusting to life with your new baby.

customized session Planning

There’s no rush—your baby sets the pace. Time is set aside for feeding, soothing, and simply settling in, so the session feels gentle and supportive from start to finish.

A Calm, Unhurried Experience

Sessions follow your baby’s rhythm, without stiff posing or heavy styling. The focus stays on connection, capturing the natural closeness and emotion of these early days.

Natural, Baby-Led Imagery

After your session, I’ll guide you through selecting your favorite images and transforming them into custom artwork for your home. From albums to framed pieces, everything is thoughtfully designed to be lived with and passed down.

The early weeks are a lot, emotionally and physically. My full-service newborn experience is designed to remove decision fatigue and support you throughout the process.

Newborn sessions in Haddonfield are unhurried and baby-led, with gentle guidance throughout so you never have to wonder what to do. Sessions typically last 1.5–2 hours. You don’t need a spotless or styled home, or a baby who sleeps on cue. We'll work with the light and spaces you already live in and the natural rhythm of your family.

FAQs

When should I schedule my newborn session?

Because I take a limited number of newborn sessions per month, I recommend reaching out during your second trimester to book. I'll put your due date on my calendar at booking and you'll reach out after the baby is born to confirm your session date. I'll typically photograph your baby 2-3 weeks after he or she arrives, but if you need more time to get settled or recover, no problem! 

How long will my newborn session last?

At-home newborn sessions typically last between 90 minutes and 2 hours with plenty of time for any diaper changes and feedings that need to happen. 

What if our home doesn’t have much natural light?

Many Haddonfield homes have beautiful window light, but even in lower light spaces I work with natural light first and, when needed, use subtle flash to keep everything soft, clean, and true to how the moment felt.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

I totally get it, life happens! For unexpected events like sickness or family emergencies, I allow one reschedule.

How long until we receive our photos?

Your gallery will be available to view within 3 weeks of your session date. Need them sooner? Rush delivery services are available.


Do you travel to areas outside of Haddonfield?

Yes, I regularly work with families in Moorestown, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Medford, throughout South Jersey and surrounding areas.

For families in Haddonfield and across South Jersey, I recommend reaching out during pregnancy to reserve your newborn session window. Let’s make sure you have more than just your phone holding onto this season.

This phase moves faster than it feels.
