Our studio offers a polished, comfortable space designed specifically for photographing newborns. With professional lighting, curated backdrops, and a carefully selected wardrobe, we create portraits that feel both natural and refined. Parents love the simplicity of arriving at the studio and knowing everything is prepared.
The newborn stage can feel overwhelming — but your session won’t. From styling guidance to optional hair and makeup coordination, we take care of the details so you can focus on your baby. With gentle posing and a calm atmosphere, your newborn is photographed safely while you enjoy the moment.
We believe your newborn’s first portraits deserve to be cherished beyond the screen. Following your session, we’ll guide you through selecting favorites for a custom album, statement wall gallery, or digital collection. Every piece is designed to preserve your baby’s story for years to come.
Our Maplewood, NJ studio is easily accessible to families from South Orange, Summit, Short Hills, Montclair, Chatham, and throughout Essex, Morris, and Union Counties. Many families travel to us for our signature combination of modern style and full-service care.
