Newborn Sessions
Capturing baby's first weeks
Newborn photography is meant to capture the squishy newness of your baby. Newborn Sessions take place in the first 14 days of life.
About Newborn Sessions
In Studio Posed Newborn
I have a slight obsession with fresh babies – from their tiny toes to their perfect eyelashes, I just cannot get enough. The first few days of your baby’s life are so special and fleeting, I would be honored to be a part of it!
I want to capture all those details that make up your perfect newborn. Each eyelash. Those sweet little lips. Ten perfect fingers and ten perfect toes. Newborns are best photographed in the first two weeks of life, however, please still reach out to me if your baby is past the two-week mark and I will do my absolute best to get your baby into the studio.
I have specialized in newborn photography for 5 years and photographed over 200+ newborns. Newborn safety is my top priority along with capturing beautiful, timeless images for you to have for a lifetime.
All sessions take place Monday-Friday at 10:00am at my studio located in Historic Downtown Richmond, Texas.
My Approach
I prefer to focus on the simple beauty of your newborn with minimal use of props and I provide everything for the session. All props are provided from wraps, headbands, hats, bonnets, buckets, bowls, crates, baskets, etc. I love to incorporate textures and props in monochromatic palettes to create galleries that look seamless.
Why studio photography? I have everything in my studio to create beautiful, timeless images, along with a client lounge for mom and dad to sit back and totally relax. I can control the temperature, lighting, and white noise to create the perfect sleepy environment for your little one. They don't call me the baby whisperer for nothing!

FAQS
Where will my session be held?
All newborn sessions take place at my studio located at 300 Morton Street, Richmond, TX 77469, during Monday-Friday at 10:00 am unless otherwise noted.
Parents have a cozy spot to sit, grab a refreshment and just relax during the session. All in all, it’s a great place to come for your newborn photo session!
How do you handle posing and props?
Posing is one of the most critical aspects of newborn photography. Your precious baby’s comfort and security are first and foremost. I have learned and continue to learn from some of the best in the business and take pride in being a professional newborn photographer. As a mom of five, I am also comfortable handling your precious baby. I usually block out 2-3 hours for full newborn sessions, and we can take as many breaks as needed for feedings & diaper changes.
I have everything in my studio to provide you with a great experience for your baby’s first professional photo shoot! My studio is stocked with all of the props, hats, headbands and outfits that we need. (Please note – all items are cleaned in between sessions).
What kinds of products do you offer?
Every collection include digital images with released printing rights. This means that you will be able to print and share your images wherever you’d like. Your images will be delivered via digital download. If you’d like to receive a USB drive with custom case, you can purchase that at an additional cost. We also have prints, canvases and albums available to purchase through your gallery.
When should I book?
It is never too early to reserve your due date on my calendar. I book tentative dates on the calendar by due date – and once baby arrives, we’ll lock in your photo shoot date. I prefer to schedule sessions for around the 2 week mark. This gives moms time to heal and everyone a little time to settle as a family.
Our goal is to capture that newborn stage while your baby is still teeny tiny, squishy and sleepy! Once baby reaches 4-6 weeks, they do not love to be in all the same poses and may not sleep as soundly.
If your baby has already been born, I will try my best to squeeze you in before your little one is 14 days old.
How do I book?
Ready to book your session with me? Get in touch using the contact form to make sure we can work out a date that works (I usually book 2-3 months in advance). Then I’ll just ask for a $150 retainer fee to reserve your session date. I’ll send a link to fill out your information, as well as go over all studio policies. At the end you will be redirected and invoiced via Paypal. It’s super simple. The retainer is nonrefundable, but it is transferable in case we need to reschedule.
