Working with Jessica was an absolute pleasure! Her patients with working with the baby was phenomenal. She allowed the baby time to relax, feed overall allow the baby time to be in a comfortable environment. I love that outcome the pictures were amazing. Honestly, 10 out of 10 I don't think I myself personally will use anybody else moving forward.

Client Review

Gentle. Honest. Baby-Led.

Those first days with a new baby are tender, emotional, and often exhausting. You are healing, adjusting, learning your baby, and trying to hold onto moments that already feel like they are slipping by. It is such a precious season, but it can also feel overwhelming, and the thought of planning photos in the middle of it all can feel like one more thing on your plate.


It should not feel that way.

When you work with me, you do not have to worry about how everything will come together. You do not have to stress over whether your baby will be sleepy, whether your toddler will cooperate, or whether your home or yourself will feel “ready.” I come in with patience, calm, and years of experience, so you can breathe and let someone else hold the weight for a little while.


My newborn sessions are designed to feel gentle and unrushed. There is space for feeding, cuddling, soothing, and simply following your baby’s lead. Nothing is forced. Nothing is expected to be perfect. The beauty is in the tiny details, the way your baby fits in your arms, the love in the room, and the beginning of your family’s new rhythm.


You deserve to be in these memories, not standing on the sidelines trying to hold everything together. My role is to make this easy for you and to create images that feel like the beginning of something sacred.

FAQ

When should we schedule our newborn session?

Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first 2–4 weeks after birth, allowing flexibility for feeding, soothing, and recovery. I DO NOT TURN AWAY BABIES DUE TO AGE!

My baby was premature can I still get photos done?

YES! You absolutely can and actually there is typically a longer window of time that it works. I personally have had successful newborn sessions as old as 4 months due to adjusted age. While we must approach newborn sessions with preterm babies a bit differently they are mostly (when given a clean bill of health) perfectly capable of having an incredible posed newborn session.

What style of newborn photography do you offer?

Newborn sessions are documentary by default, documenting your baby and family naturally. These sessions prioritize comfort, safety, and connection over rigid posing. I do offer formally posed newborn sessions as an add on.

Do you provide newborn outfits?

Yes. Newborn sessions include a simple, curated outfit and wrap chosen for comfort and timelessness.

Is posed newborn photography available?

Yes. Traditional posed newborn photography with props and table setups is available as an optional add on for families who desire that style.

What if my baby is fussy or needs to eat during the session?

That’s completely expected. Sessions are baby-led and unhurried, with time built in for feeding, soothing, and breaks as needed.

Do you share pricing in advance?

Yes. Most clients invest between $500-$1250 and full pricing details are sent once the quiz above is submitted.
