Newborn
Those first days are quiet, tender, and gone before you realize how much has changed. Newborn photography isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about slowing down and noticing what’s already there. I photograph your baby at home, focusing on connection, tiny details, and the way these early moments actually feel, so you can return to them again and again.
Timeless, baby-led newborn photography at home.
Philadelphia Newborn Photographer
Newborn sessions take place in your home, 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.
A newborn experience designed to be easy.
You’ll receive all the edited images from your session in color and B&W (no choosing favorites, no hidden tiers). If it tells the story, it’s yours.
Newborn sessions 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.

What's included
With a wardrobe of carefully-curated, high-end dresses in a range of sizes for you to borrow, you won't have to worry about last-minute online orders or what looks best on camera. You can also schedule a complimentary styling appointment to coordinate your family, and I can even put together a personalized mood board to match pieces you already own. Deciding what to wear for your newborn portraits will be one less thing on your to do list.
Dresses that flatter every stage of motherhood.
Client Wardrobe
These days, we have no shortage of digital photos. With printed artwork, you're creating a legacy of love to pass on to future generations, that's not dependent on changing technologies and password storage. I know it's easy to put off printing your photographs, which is why I offer gallery wall and album design services so you can start enjoying your precious memories right away.
Your family’s story deserves more than a hard drive.

FAQs
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!
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.
I totally get it, life happens! For unexpected events like sickness or family emergencies, I allow one reschedule.
Your gallery will be delivered via your email within 3 weeks of your session date. Need them sooner? Rush delivery services are available.
Yes! I travel to sessions throughout the South Jersey, Philadelphia, Main Line, Jersey shore, and northern Delaware areas. For destinations beyond these areas, please inquire for a custom quote.
