Questions? i've Got Answers

  • Fresh 48 Newborn Photos
    These take place in the hospital within 1–2 days after birth, capturing the raw, beautiful moments of your baby’s earliest hours.

  • In-Home Newborn Photos
    A relaxed, lifestyle session in the comfort of your home. These photos include natural moments with parents, siblings, and even grandparents.

  • In-Studio Newborn Photos
    Styled sessions featuring a variety of props and gentle poses that highlight your baby’s details. Family members are always welcome to join. All studio sessions take place in Pingree Grove, Illinois.

The ideal time to schedule your newborn session is during your second or third trimester to ensure availability. For those dreamy, snuggly poses, the session itself should take place within the first two weeks of your baby’s life when they are sleepiest and easiest to pose.

No worries—each stage has its own unique charm!

  • Weeks 3 to 5: Your baby is still flexible and snuggly, even if they’re a bit more alert. We can still wrap them beautifully for adorable photos, even if newborn outfits no longer fit.
  • Weeks 6 to 8: This is the perfect time to capture your baby’s growing personality and lively expressions. I recommend focusing on lifestyle sessions either at home or in the studio to embrace these special moments.

No worries at all! I’m very patient and will take breaks as needed to make sure your baby is calm and comfortable.

Absolutely! Parents and siblings are welcome to be part of the session. We can include a few family shots if you’d like.

After our session, you’ll receive an online gallery of unedited images within 24 hours. This gives you time to review the photos with your partner and loved ones to select your favorites. Once you’ve made your selections, I’ll carefully edit your chosen images and have them ready for you within 2 to 3 business days.

I completely understand how overwhelming it can feel to step in front of the camera when your body is healing and adjusting—trust me, I’ve been there too! My goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible for you.

  • I’ll guide you into flattering, natural poses that highlight your connection with your baby.
  • I can help minimize any concerns, such as swelling, dark circles, or other insecurities through gentle editing.

Just relax, be present, and enjoy this special moment with your little one. You deserve to remember these beautiful first days just as they are—filled with love.

The length of your newborn session depends on the type of session you choose:

  1. In-Hospital Photo Sessions:
    These sessions typically last 30–40 minutes, focusing on quick, natural moments and family portraits.

  2. Lifestyle Newborn Photo Sessions:
    These sessions usually take 60–90 minutes, allowing time to capture candid moments of your baby at home, including nursery details, family, siblings, and pets.

  3. In-Studio Posed Photo Sessions:
    Lasting 2–3 hours, these sessions include gentle posing, wraps, props, and adorable outfits. The extra time ensures your baby stays calm, happy, and comfortable throughout.
