They are only this little for such a short time.
The tiny fingers, the sleepy stretches, the way they fit perfectly in your arms.
Those first days can feel like a blur, and
before you know it, your newborn isn't quite so new anymore.
My approach to newborn photography is simple.
To slow things down, follow your baby's lead, and capture the little details and connections
that make this season so meaningful.
Because these aren't just photographs of your baby. They're the beginning of your story together.
Natural. Baby-led. Timeless.
I'm a photographer, a mama, and someone who knows just how quickly the little seasons of life pass. With over 15 years behind the camera and more than 200 newborns photographed, I know how meaningful these early memories become.
I love creating beautiful, gently posed newborn portraits alongside the little details and natural connections that make your family unique. My approach is relaxed, guided, and always baby-led, allowing your little one to set the pace.
You don't need to know how to pose or have everything figured out. Just come as you are, settle in with your baby, and let me take care of capturing the memories.
My newborn sessions combine gentle, guided posing with natural moments and family connection.
I carefully guide your baby into comfortable, appropriate positions while paying close attention to their cues and needs. We make time for feeding, soothing, cuddles, and breaks whenever needed. Your baby's comfort and safety always come first.
The result is a collection of thoughtfully created portraits, tiny details, and genuine moments you'll treasure for years to come.
My Hamilton studio offers a simple, welcoming space with soft neutral tones and beautiful light. I keep the styling timeless so the focus stays on your baby and the connections within your family.
Parents and siblings are welcome, and I have a client wardrobe available for mothers and little ones to help make getting ready a little easier.
When should you book?
I recommend booking during pregnancy. Newborn sessions are typically photographed between 7 and 14 days old, with around 10 days being a lovely time to aim for. We'll confirm timing once your baby arrives.
If your baby is already a few weeks old, please reach out. It's not too late to create meaningful photographs.
One day, those tiny fingers won't seem so small. The way your baby curls into you will change, and these first days will become memories you wish you could revisit.
I want you to have more than beautiful photographs. I want you to have images that bring you right back to this season of life.
What if my baby won't sleep?
That's completely okay. Your baby doesn't need to sleep through the session. We follow their cues and work at their pace.
Can parents and siblings be included?
Absolutely. These photographs are about your growing family, too.
What should we wear?
Soft neutrals and complementary tones photograph beautifully. I also have a client wardrobe available for mothers and little ones.
You don't need the perfect outfit, a perfectly sleepy baby, or every detail figured out.
You just need to show up with your little one.
I'll take care of the rest, creating timeless photographs of the beginning of your story together.
