I’ll keep this simple. Bring:
Extra formula or bottles if you use them

Everything else you need—wraps, props, and studio essentials—will be ready for you.

What should we bring?

The ideal window is typically 5–21 days old, when babies are still very sleepy and naturally curl into those cozy newborn poses. If your baby is older, don’t worry—beautiful images are still absolutely possible, and I’ll guide you through a session that fits your baby’s stage.

I recommend booking your newborn session during pregnancy to reserve a spot on my calendar. Once baby arrives, we’ll choose the exact date based on how you’re feeling and when baby is ready—so it stays flexible and stress-free.

Most newborn sessions last 2–4 hours. Everything is baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, soothing, diaper changes, and breaks—so you never feel rushed.

Yes—parents and siblings are always welcome. I’ll guide you into flattering, natural poses and keep the flow easy so everyone feels comfortable (even toddlers).

Can parents and siblings be included?

Newborn sessions take place in my fully equipped Leander studio, and I serve families across the Austin metro area, including Round Rock and Cedar Park. The studio is designed for soft, flattering light and a comfortable, relaxed experience for both baby and parents.

What if my baby is fussy?

That’s completely normal—and expected. I plan every newborn session with extra time built in, and we’ll move at your baby’s pace. My job is to create a calm environment, follow baby’s cues, and still capture beautiful, connected images.
