An Elevated Newborn Photography Experience for Modern Families
Newborn Photographer in New Jersey, serving families throughout Maplewood and surrounding communities.
An elevated, effortless photography experience and your heartfelt memories beautifully preserved.
With thoughtful guidance at every step, I transform these early days with your little one into timeless, artful portraits your family will treasure for generations.
The Newborn Photography Experience
From your first inquiry to the final delivery of your portraits, everything is thoughtfully planned and seamlessly guided.
Newborn sessions take place at my cozy, bright, and fully prepared Maplewood, NJ studio or the comfort of your home. If you’re undecided about the in-home vs. studio sessions, I’m happy to walk you through the benefits of each.
With gentle expertise and a patient approach, your new baby gets all the time they need, and even the most spirited big brothers and sisters are supported and celebrated.
The result is timeless, classic imagery — clean, natural portraits that capture your baby’s essence and the loving connections within your family. Images designed not just to be saved, but to be displayed, cherished, and passed down.
What’s Included in Your Experience
This is a full-service portrait experience. Our newborn photography sessions include wardrobe for all, coordination of professional hair and makeup, custom artwork design and professional wall art installation.
Every detail is handled so you can relax, be present, and truly enjoy this moment.
Wardrobe Styling
My studio wardrobe means you have access to comfortable, flattering dresses that photograph beautifully. It also includes shirts for dads and so many beautiful pieces for older siblings. Any wardrobe pieces you select during your planning appointment will be steamed and ready the morning of your photoshoot. Everything is thoughtfully prepared so your family looks effortlessly cohesive.
Custom Artwork
After your session, I carefully curate a beautiful proof gallery — selecting the strongest, most meaningful images so you are never overwhelmed by hundreds of files.
From there, I guide you in creating meaningful pieces for your home while also preserving your images in a thoughtfully curated digital collection for archiving.
Installation
When you choose to have me print your favorite images I handle everything, beautifying your home and decluttering your to-do list: design, print, frame, and perfectly hang your artwork. Everything is included.
“I couldn’t believe how beautifully she captured this season for us. Her style is clean and simple so our photos will never feel dated, and she was so gentle and patient with our newborn. She helped us create the most cohesive album — we would use her again and again.” — Megan I.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Newborn sessions are best reserved during your second trimester to ensure availability around your due date. We pencil in your expected arrival and confirm once your baby is here. Most sessions take place within the first two to three weeks, though I create beautiful portraits of babies at every age and stage.
-
Most newborn sessions take place in my Maplewood studio — a cozy, fully prepared space designed to feel calm, comfortable, and beautifully organized. For families who prefer to remain at home, in-home newborn sessions are also available and offer a relaxed, natural feel within your own surroundings.
-
Absolutely. Your newborn session is designed to capture connection — between parents, siblings, grandparents, and even beloved pets. I thoughtfully guide each combination so your images feel natural, relaxed, and reflective of your family exactly as you are in this season.

Newborn sessions are always baby-led. With a calm, patient approach and years of experience working with little ones, I gently guide the session around your baby’s needs. Whether they sleep soundly or prefer to stay awake and observe, beautiful, timeless portraits are always possible.
-
Newborn sessions are reserved with a creative session fee, with artwork and curated digital collections selected afterward. During your consultation, I will guide you through the options and help you choose the most beautiful images to preserve your story perfectly. Most newborn clients invest $1,800 or more in finished artwork and digital collections.
-
Newborn sessions are intentionally unhurried. Most families should plan for up to three hours, though many sessions are completed in closer to two. We allow plenty of time for snuggles, feedings, and sibling breaks so the experience feels relaxed and never rushed.
-
We love connecting new mothers with a preferred hair and makeup artist who can prepare you at home or in the studio. I will set up everything you will pay your artist directly at the time of service.
