In-home newborn photography built around your family.
As a lifestyle newborn photographer, my sessions are designed to feel flexible, relaxed, and easy on new parents. We work around your baby’s pace with plenty of time for feeding breaks, diaper changes, toddler resets, and whatever else the day brings. No pressure to keep things moving or expectation that everything has to go perfectly to create beautiful photos.
Natural newborn photos that actually feel like your life.
Newborn sessions take place in your home, where everyone is most comfortable and everything you need is already within reach. 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.
When my daughter was born, everything suddenly felt very different. The days ran together in this haze of sleepy middle-of-the-night feeds and staring at her longer than I thought was possible. I wondered how someone so small could change my whole world so quickly.
This experience shaped the way I photograph newborns now. My in-home newborn sessions are calm, baby-led, and centered around what families actually need during those early weeks: patience, flexibility, and someone who knows how to find beauty inside the chaos.

Session HIGHLIGHTS
01
Intentional Planning to Understand Your Family
We'll connect on a planning call to talk about you, your style and vision, and what matters most in this season.
02
Capture the Beauty in Your Everyday Life
You do not need a magazine house for beautiful photos. A window with good light and the people you love most already do the heavy lifting.
03
Flexible Throughout the Whole Session
Some babies sleep the entire session. Some need extra cuddles the whole time. Both are normal. We work with the day we’re given.
01
Thoughtful planning from the start.
Every session begins with a conversation about your family, your home, and the little details that will make these photographs feel like yours.
02
A session that adapts to you and your baby.
These sessions are completely baby-led from start to finish. We pause for feedings, diaper changes, cuddles, snack breaks, and whatever else your family needs in the moment.
03
Photographs designed to live beyond a screen.
After your session, you’ll have the option to purchase digital images, custom framing, and heirloom albums designed to actually live in your home instead of disappearing into Dropbox.
“Such a great experience working with Courtney. We have beautiful pictures of our baby that we will always treasure!”
— Abigail C.

KIND WORDS
“Courtney was such a pleasure to work with! She had such a calming presence and made us feel so comfortable.”
She makes the whole process so simple! Our little man was fussy during the session and she was still able to capture great photos. You couldn’t even tell he was upset! — Meghann L.
“She captured our baby and our family so beautifully it even brought my mom to tears.”
We absolutely loved working with Courtney for our newborn photos. She was professional and responsive. She was able to make posing feel easy and natural, which can be a challenge in postpartum. The photos are absolutely stunning. We’ll cherish them forever. — Jessica S.
