Newborn Photography Sessions
Celebrate your new baby with a custom newborn session designed just for you. We'll create a variety of classic, artistic images of your new baby while also capturing all of those tiny details that you'll look back on in a few months and wonder how in the world that tiny human ever fit into your belly!
Each package includes a limited number of high-resolution digital files that will be edited to perfection and delivered to you in a downloadable gallery. You will also receive both the color and black and white images of every selected image. Jen offers a wide variety of professionally printed wall art products along with prints and albums that are available for purchase.
Your session includes access to my extensive collection of newborn props, outfits, headbands, wraps, backdrops. Everything will be provided for you at the studio for your session and we will discuss and plan the session details in advance so you can sit back and relax when you arrive the day of.
Jen has worked with hundreds of babies throughout her nine year career as a photographer and has received training in newborn safety as well as extensive one-on-one training on how to safely pose your baby so they are relaxed and comfortable throughout the session. Newborn sessions are typically done in the first 7-21 days, however, older newborns (up to 3 months) have become a specialty and she is happy to accommodate an older newborn if you have missed that window.
Overall, the goal is to ensure that you have a seamless client experience from start to finish and are absolutely in love with your final images.

Newborn sessions take place at the Hello Photography studio located in Cedar Park, TX. Your session is customized to your desires and Jen is available to help every step of the way to provide an exceptional personal experience for every client. I will handle your baby as if they are my own while you are in my studio and have spent many hours mentoring with other professional newborn photographers to learn how to safely handle and pose newborn babies properly. I have over 8 years of experience working with newborns and have photographed hundreds of babies in my career!
When your baby arrives, you'll reach out to Jen and she will send a variety of session options to choose from, along with a session prep guide along with a session questionnaire where you will let her know your color what colors you want to incorporate in the session, any must-have props or poses you would like, and what background colors you want to use for your first family photos! Jen will provide everything for baby during the session and you will have access to her full collection of outfits, wraps, backdrops, and props for your session. All you need to bring is your baby's food source and Jen will take care of the rest!
It is never too early to book your newborn session and most families book their session before their third trimester. Newborn sessions are best captured in the first 7-21 days, however, Jen has worked with a lot of older newborns who have had some beautiful newborn sessions! Jen only reserves two spaces each week to accommodate her tiniest clients and offer a variety of session dates/times for you to choose from once your baby arrives.
This session is really dictated by your baby and can take anywhere from 2-4 hours. We'll take breaks as needed for diaper changes, snacks, and cuddles from mom or dad if necessary. The lights will be dim, the room will be warm and cozy. There is a couch for parents to relax along with a small fridge with bottled water and some light snacks. You are welcome to sit back and take a break while Jen works patiently with your baby to create some magical portraits.
Within two days of your newborn session, Jen will send your unedited proof gallery so you can make your selections. Once you've picked out your favorite newborn photos, the editing process beings. Your images will be edited to perfection and your final images will be delivered to you via online gallery within one week of your selections being made. I know you are excited about seeing your images and I don't believe in making you wait multiple weeks to get them back.

I have never experienced someone so patient and professional. Being there to take newborn pictures with a not so sleepy baby can have its challenges, but Jen was able to calmly relax our newborn and was able to take breath taking photos not only of our newborn but of the family. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional photographer. Jen was quick to respond to emails or questions in addition, she delivered the edited pictures in a timely manner. -Joelle
Jen made the whole experience of maternity and newborn photoshoot very comfortable and relaxed. Her work is amazing and gave us lifelong treasured memories. She is very good at handling babies and meet all the expectations you have by discussing even smallest details before the photoshoot. I already want to take cake smash photos of lil one with Jen in future. She is best in town😀 ~Vineela
Our experience with Jen was all we were looking for and so much more. From the beginning to the end, Jen was communicative, professional, and warm. 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. We will treasure these photos forever and are so happy we chose Jen to capture this very special moment in our lives. I highly recommend Jen for all your maternity and newborn photo needs. Trust me, you will not regret it! -Naureen
Jen is AMAZING. Our pictures turn out to be so unique and beautiful! I posted one online, and the amount of comments and messages and LOVE we received was incredible!- Mahnoush
Jen is absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and professional from the time I first reached out to her until we received our final photos. I can’t say enough great things about her work. I’ve never been comfortable in front of a camera, but Jen made the photo shoot so much fun and captured some gorgeous images. Then I was even more impressed when we went for our newborn photos. Jen is AMAZING with babies. Our baby had been very fussy leading up to our session so I was worried we wouldn’t get any good shots. Much to my surprise, Jen was able to keep him asleep the entire time. She was so patient and gentle with him, taking her time to gently move him into the perfect poses. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone interested in maternity or newborn photos. -Melody
We could not recommend Jen enough for maternity and newborn photos! My wife first went for maternity pictures and was feeling a little self conscious. She said Jen made her feel so comfortable and relaxed. She was so happy after the session and saw herself in a conpletelt different light.
Then, once our twins arrived, we went back. And wow! Jen was so patient with them. I can imagine it's work with just one newborn and here she was working with two! The whole experience was so relaxing. We are so happy with all our pictures! Thank you! -Dani
Jen is great! Her attention to detail, her patience and her work are amazing! We had a session with our newborn and I can’t recommend Jen enough! She makes the whole process easy and the photos came out great! She is the best! -Giuliano
This is my first time being pregnant and also experiencing a maternity photo session. I’m still in awe of my beyond gorgeous maternity photos!!!! Jen ultimately made me feel very comfortable. She even got waist deep in water getting the perfect angles of my BEAUTIFUL shots, if that’s not dedication then I’m not sure what is! I wanted a beautiful water feature & she surely gave me exactly what I wanted and MORE!!! Very professional & got my pictures back to me in a short amount of time with editing... even due to her busy schedule. She is very dedicated to her work & I recommend anyone to trusting her photography skills. She is beyond exceptional! ~Aaliyah
Jen is an amazing photographer! She is also an awesome person to work with. She is very responsive, friendly, patient, and open minded. The whole process from booking the photoshoot to getting my final pictures was very smooth and enjoyable. During the shoot, her easy-going personality made me feel comfortable trying different settings and shots. The maternity photos we received came out fantastic and I’m so happy Jen was able to capture the beauty of my pregnancy. The turnaround time to getting the final photos was very fast too. I highly recommend Jen if you are looking for a quality, professional, fun, and down to earth photographer! ~Sovattey
HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Working with Jen for our Newborn session was amazing! From the beginning she was responsive, professional yet very friendly, and gave us great information prior to our session so we would be prepared. She has a great workflow for the session but takes her cues from the little one so she can capture the best possible moments for you! She's so patient with the babies and it's clear she genuinely loves what she does! She's really creative with her shots and is willing to work in anything that you might want (ours was military stuff)! The photos we received are incredible and we had a very hard time picking out our favorites because they were all so wonderful! She's worth every. single. penny!! We'll be using her for our son's first birthday smash cake session and our next little one as well!! ~Nicole
Jen is incredible! She made this maternity shoot experience so special, so comfortable, and we truly had a blast. The gorgeous gowns she provides make life so much easier. She really makes you feel like a Queen while capturing such tender moments with your baby. -Jennifer
I loved working with Jen for our daughters newborn photos! Jen is not only kind, patient, and talented, but also so much fun to be around! She was the only photographer I reached out to that was confident in taking newborn photos for our 2 month old daughter!
Jen is a baby whisperer!! My biggest concern was not being able to get the cute sleepy newborn photos cause my daughter was a bit older, but wow-o-wow was I wrong! Jen is unbelievably talented and experienced working with newborns, and was able to get baby girl to fall asleep for every photo! I even implemented some of the techniques she used in the studio in my daily life to get baby girl to nap! I truly had no idea how much effort goes into getting a cute newborn photo! I was amazed when she spent ~45 minutes getting my baby to fall asleep, and patiently move my sweet girl into the froggy pose!!
We had a blast at our newborn photoshoot and couldn't recommend Jen more! We will 100% be going back to her in the future :)
We loved working with Jen for both our maternity and newborn photos! For the maternity photos, she made both my husband and I feel at ease by telling us exactly how to pose, making the experience lighthearted, and personalizing the photos to our fertility/pregnancy journey. Our newborn session was such an enjoyable experience! It was so relaxing for us as parents and for our baby. Jen was so patient while posing our baby and she completely understood the type of photos and colors I wanted. We’ve already recommended Jen to others in our network and look forward to working with her again in the future. ~Alyssa
