Your Newborn Portrait Experience in Five Easy Steps
Once we have connected and learned a little about your family, we will guide you through these five steps below.
Step 1
Your Discovery Call
Your journey starts with a real conversation. After you fill out the form, we call you within business phone hours to answer your questions, learn your due date, and help you choose the newborn experience that fits your family best.
Step 2
Your Design Consultation
At your design consultation, we plan the look and feel of your newborn portraits together. We talk through colors, styling, who will be included, and how you want this season to be remembered in your home.
Step 3
Your Newborn Portrait Experience
When you arrive, everything is ready for you. The studio feels warm, calm, and baby ready, and we guide the experience with a gentle baby-led approach so you can slow down and soak in these first days.
Step 4
Your Reveal and Ordering Appointment
Back at the studio, you see your newborn portraits for the first time and choose and purchase the artwork you want to bring home. This is where your baby’s first days begin turning into something tangible and lasting.
Step 5
Your Artwork Pickup
When your finished artwork is ready, you return to the studio to pick it up and take it home. Your baby’s first chapter becomes part of your everyday life, on your walls, in your hands, and in your heart.
Your Baby’s First Year Story
The first year moves fast. You blink, and your newborn becomes a baby who smiles, sits up, and reaches for you with purpose. Your First Year Baby Plan holds onto those changes with portraits that bring you right back to the feeling of this season.
You choose between two plan options, both built around love, simplicity, and support. Our most popular plan includes three portrait experiences: Newborn, Little Sit, and First Birthday. The second plan includes everything in the most popular plan, plus one additional milestone experience for families who want more chapters in the story.
After each milestone, you return for a Reveal Party. You see your portraits for the first time, you feel the rush all over again, and you make your final purchases for artwork and albums. Your baby’s story moves off your phone and into your home, on your walls, on your shelves, and in your hands.
Newborn Photography FAQs
When’s the perfect time to schedule a newborn session?
The best time to reach out is during your second trimester so we can plan ahead and reserve space around your due date. If your baby has already arrived, still contact us. We will always do our best to fit you in.
Why are newborn portraits usually photographed within the first two weeks?
Those first days are when babies are often sleepiest, curl up naturally, and settle best into the soft, simple posing most families love. That timing also helps us capture the tiny details that change so quickly in the beginning.
How do we plan when due dates can change?
We reserve your newborn portrait experience around your due date, then adjust once baby arrives. You do not need to worry about having the exact day in advance. We build flexibility into the planning process.
Can parents be included in the newborn portraits?
Yes. Parent portraits are an important part of many newborn experiences. We can also include siblings depending on the retainer option you choose and the story you want to tell.
How long does a newborn portrait experience take?
Newborn experiences vary based on the option you choose. Some are shorter wrapped baby-only experiences, while fuller newborn experiences allow more time for feeding, soothing, family portraits, and a slower pace that follows your baby’s needs.
What should we bring to the newborn portrait experience?
Most families only need to bring the baby, diapers, bottles or feeding supplies, and a pacifier if baby uses one. We will guide you on anything else before your appointment so you feel prepared and relaxed.
Do you provide wraps, props, and styling for newborn portraits?
Yes. We have a studio collection of wraps, headbands, hats, and simple newborn styling pieces to keep the portraits soft, timeless, and baby focused. We will also talk through colors and overall styling during planning.
What do you photograph with baby-only newborn portraits?
Baby-only newborn portraits focus on the tiny details and soft early moments you never want to forget. We capture curled poses, sleepy expressions, little fingers, little toes, and the quiet beauty of this brand-new season.
Is newborn safety a priority during the experience?
Always. Your baby’s comfort and safety come first the entire time. We use a gentle, baby-led approach and move at your baby’s pace so the experience feels calm, safe, and supported.
Can siblings be included in the newborn portrait experience?
Yes, siblings can be included in many newborn portrait experiences. We will help you choose the option that fits your family best and plan for the portraits you want most
Do I have to choose the First Year Baby Plan?
No. Many families book newborn portraits only. The First Year Baby Plan is there for families who want to continue documenting baby’s milestones through the first year in a more connected way.
What happens after the newborn portrait experience?
After your portrait experience, you return for your reveal and ordering appointment. That is when you see your portraits for the first time and choose and purchase the artwork you want to bring home.
Do you offer digital files?
Yes. Digital-only options are available, and many clients also receive matching digital files with purchased artwork. We help you choose what fits your home, your goals, and how you want to enjoy your portraits.
