Little feet don't stay little forever.

Philadelphia Newborn Photographer

Natural and timeless

...what's left are the portraits of your baby’s earliest days—the tiny fingers, soft cheeks, and the first moments you held them close. These images capture not just how your baby looked, but the overwhelming love and connection you felt in those first days. My newborn sessions are natural and timeless in style so you can preserve these precious details and always revisit the time when your baby was still so small and new.

When the newborn clothes are outgrown and the sleepless nights become memories...

Book Your Session

We’ll start with a pre-session consultation to discuss your vision, going over every detail so you can have a stress-free experience. On the day of your session, we’ll take things at a relaxed pace in the comfort of your home, capturing natural, lightly posed shots of your baby and family. You’ll also have access to a selection of high-end postpartum dresses to help you feel your best as we capture these tender first moments.

After your session, we’ll work together to choose your favorite images and design custom artwork to display in your home that will serve as a beautiful reminder of this time.

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 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 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 delivered via your email within 3 weeks of your session date. 


Do you travel?

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.
