Hello! I'm so glad you're here!

I'm so glad you're here, and I'm honored that you're considering me to capture these early days with your baby.

Whether this is your first child, your rainbow baby, or part of your growing crew, this season is fleeting and deserves to be remembered with intention.

For over a decade, I’ve created timeless, heartfelt newborn portraits for Austin families. Sessions blend softly posed images, styled setups, and connection-filled moments.

Each one is crafted to reflect the love that brought your baby here and the legacy you're building now.

Timeless Images, Delivered Fast

A Calm, Relaxed Experience

Expert Handling and Posing

Personalized Styling

Newborn sessions take place in the Hello Photography studio in Cedar Park, just outside Austin, TX. Designed for comfort and safety, the studio is fully stocked with everything we need to create a luxury newborn photography experience—props, wraps, lighting, and styling details are all taken care of for you. I’ve photographed hundreds of newborns and use gentle, baby-led posing to ensure your little one is always safe, calm, and content. If you're looking for Austin newborn photography that blends high-end styling with heartfelt storytelling, you're in the right place.

With over 10 years of experience as an Austin newborn photographer, I’ve been trained in safe newborn handling and posing. I’ll gently guide your baby through each setup while making sure they’re always supported and comfortable. Parent and sibling images are always welcome—just let me know what you'd like to include.

Before your session, you'll receive a short questionnaire so I can tailor the colors, props, and styling to match your vision. You’ll have access to a curated collection of wraps, headbands, bonnets, and textured layers designed to create beautiful, timeless images—no need to bring a thing.

Sessions typically last 2–4 hours and are entirely baby-led. The studio is kept warm and quiet with soft lighting and soothing music. Parents are encouraged to relax on the studio couch, enjoy a snack, and take a moment to breathe while I work patiently to capture every detail.

Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a private proof gallery to select your favorite images. From there, I hand-edit every chosen photo with care and artistry. Your final gallery will be delivered within one week—high-resolution and ready to download, print, and treasure forever.

Loved by Families Across Austin

"I have used Jen for both my daughter and son’s newborn photos and both times, Jen has exceeded my expectations!! Her studio is very calm and warm for the baby and she has every color combo/accessory that you could want. During the session, she is a genuine baby whisperer and quickly and carefully moves them from each pose with ease. " 

– Ashley, Newborn Session

"My wife and I just did our newborn session with Jen, and we were absolutely blown away with the process and the end result. From start to finish, we had open communication, on time scheduling, and best off all the photos session for our newborn was fun and never felt forced." 

– Zackary, Newborn Session

"We had the best experience with our newborn photoshoot and the photos came out so beautifully. She definitely has the magic touch and made our daughter and us feel welcomed and comfortable, which was very important to us." 

– Naureen, Newborn Session

Got questions?
I've got answers!

A: The ideal time to photograph your baby is within the first 7–24 days after birth. That’s when babies are sleepiest and most naturally curled up. I recommend booking your session before your third trimester to ensure availability—I only take a limited number of newborns each month.

A: No worries at all! While the early days are best for classic sleepy poses, I’ve photographed beautiful newborn portraits up to 12 weeks old. Every session is tailored to your baby’s needs, and I’ll adjust the posing and styling accordingly.

A: Just your baby and their food source! My Cedar Park studio is fully stocked with luxury wraps, headbands, bonnets, props, and backdrops. Everything is prepared for you so you can just show up, relax, and enjoy the experience.

A: Yes! My full newborn package includes portraits with parents and siblings for those wanting to document the whole family. I also offer baby-only packages for those who prefer a simpler, more focused session. Either way, we’ll create a beautiful and customized experience based on what feels right for your family.

A: Within 48 hours of your session, you’ll receive a private proofing gallery to select your favorite images. Once your selections are made, I’ll hand-edit each one with care and deliver your final gallery within one week. All packages include both color and black and white versions of each chosen image—fully retouched and ready to download, print, and enjoy.

A: Newborn sessions typically last between 2–4 hours. We follow your baby’s lead and allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes. My studio is designed to be a calm, quiet space where parents can relax while I work gently and patiently with your little one.
