Can we include family and siblings in the photos?
Newborn sessions typically last 2 to 3 hours. We factor in plenty of time for feeding, changing, and comforting breaks to ensure the baby remains happy and the session is entirely stress-free for the parents.
How long does a Newborn Session typically last?
We recommend reaching out during your second trimester to secure your due date. The actual session is best scheduled when the baby is between 5 and 14 days old, as this is when they are sleepiest and most flexible for posing.

Patience and Portraits: Sibling Newborn Photography
Many parents worry about incorporating older siblings into a newborn session, but capturing that first connection is always worth it. We specialize in ensuring these moments are captured beautifully and safely.
We always begin the session with sibling and family portraits, allowing the older children to participate while they are most excited. We follow their lead, prioritize their safety, and use gentle, safe posing techniques to achieve those tender, natural shots you cherish.
