Let’s chat!

We want your session to be absolutely perfect and tailored to you. Before finalizing your date, we’ll schedule your consultation to talk through all the details.

Because I photograph only a limited number of newborns each month, reserving your due date during pregnancy is the best way to guarantee availability. While I occasionally have last-minute openings, I can't promise availability after baby arrives.

Most newborn sessions take place within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are naturally sleepiest. However, every birth story is unique, and we'll choose the timing that's best for your family.

Reserve Your Due Date, Not Your Session Date

One of the most common questions I receive is:

"When should I book my newborn session?"

The answer is during pregnancy—ideally during your second or third trimester.

Because babies arrive on their own schedule, I reserve your due date on my calendar rather than a specific session date. Once your little one arrives, simply send me a text from the hospital or within the first day or two after birth, and we'll choose the perfect session date based on baby's arrival.

This flexible scheduling allows me to photograph your baby during those beautiful early days while ensuring every family receives the time and attention they deserve.

Then I'd follow it with a simple visual timeline:

1. Reserve Your Due Date
Book your newborn session during pregnancy to secure a spot on my calendar.

2. Baby Arrives
Send me a quick text when your little one is born.

3. Schedule Your Session
We'll choose the best date, typically within the first 7–14 days after birth.

4. Enjoy Your Images
Relax while I create timeless portraits of your newest love.
