A Newborn session with me is wholly focused on taking the time to appreciate the small details of this tiny new human. During our session, we intentionally make time to create art that showcases this special season, because let’s face it, newborns are only this tiny for a short time. Parents & siblings are welcome to be included in your session depending on your collection choice. 

What To Expect...

I see you. I feel you. Staring at your new baby wishing they could stay this little for a lifetime never outgrowing your arms. It is so cliché to say “Babies don’t keep” but it’s true. They don’t keep. Maybe you have already noticed the subtle changes from the moment they came earth-side to right now. Each day we witness these ever-changing features and personalities and think why can’t you just be that little again? I imagine if you have found yourself here you are in a place where you never want to forget a single detail. I’ve been there too, mama. My babies aren’t babies anymore and I envy you the images that you will be able to hold on to for a lifetime. I’m so honored that you have chosen me to tell your story.

The

Session Experience

Sessions include a relaxed session in my beautiful studio, or the comfort of your home, assistance with styling, wardrobe & access to my client closet, and the best hand painted images from your session. The number of images you receive depends on your collection choice.

 A $100 Creative Fee is due upon booking to save your session date. The remaining balance is due one week before your session. If I am traveling more than 40 miles from Temple Oklahoma, I kindly ask that in addition to the session cost you pay for my travel expenses. 



Newborn Session

01

WHAT TYPES OF SESSIONS DO YOU OFFER?

While I love to photograph a multitude of things, motherhood has completely stolen my heart.

I currently specialize in intimate maternity, newborn, family, and motherhood sessions.

02

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY MATERNITY & NEWBORN SESSION?

Maternity sessions are best scheduled in your second trimester and take place between weeks 30-34 depending on your comfort level during your pregnancy. Booking your maternity and newborn session together is a great idea and offers a discount on your portrait collection.

Newborns are best photographed traditionally between 7-15 days of age, but lifestyle newborn sessions may be scheduled with babies up to one month of age.


03

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR? WILL YOU HELP STYLE US?

Absolutely! Styling can really make your session more special. I will walk through each step of the styling process with you. I offer the experience of a client closet for my clients, and I have carefully curated a closet of beautiful hand-picked, custom-made, and unique clothing options for mamas and their babies. I like to style newborn sessions in a classic and timeless style. I use soft & flowy dresses for mama, sweet handmade outfits and swaddles for baby in neutral and earthy tones.

04

WHERE WILL WE TAKE OUR PHOTOS AND WHAT TIME OF DAY?

There a a couple of options for newborn sessions. You may choose a relaxed but curated session in my beautiful studio or you may choose to have your session in the comfort of your home. There are so many unique ways to capture your new baby's first memories. 

Studio sessions begin at 10am Monday through Thursday. 
In home session timing depends on where your home is located, the best time for perfect lighting, and what vibe you are seeking from this session.

05

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR IMAGES, HOW MANY DO WE GET, AND CAN WE RRINT THEM?

 Once my process is complete you will receive your finished, beautifully hand painted images via online gallery. You will then be able to download your high-resolution images from your online gallery. The number of images you receive depends on the collection choice you make. I encourage you to purchase prints through your online gallery for the best results.

I do not offer a print release for chain store labs such as Walmart or Walgreens.


06

WHAT IS YOUR  Newborn PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE?

Lifestyle sessions are not your typical portrait session. They are real and raw and capture the moments versus the poses. You are not expected to “perform” for me. I don't focus on stiff posing and fake smiles. I want you to focus on and interact with your new baby. There is no right or wrong way here. You are in the thick of motherhood mama! I will bring the beauty you may not see in this fleeting season of your life.

If you are looking for a traditional stylized and posed newborn session we can make that happen!

You Can Expect

1. You will book your session according to the month you would like, pay your $100 retainer fee, and sign your portrait contract.

2. You will receive a detailed questionnaire. This will help me get to know more about you and your family so I can better serve you in the season that you are in.

3. Prior to your session I will build a custom wardrobe for your family. We will go over your style board and finalize it all before your session happens.
