Congratulations to the expecting moms and dads! As a newborn photographer in Philadelphia, I can’t wait to share with you the magic of capturing those precious first days of your little one’s life.

When I became a mother, my whole world shifted. Suddenly, I saw the beauty in every tiny yawn, every little stretch, and those sleepy smiles that make your heart melt. That’s when I knew I had to dedicate my life to preserving these fleeting moments for families like yours.

The Newborn Window: Timing is Everything

Let us discuss the best time to book your appointment. Those first two weeks after birth? They’re golden. Your baby is still curled up in those adorable, womb-like poses, and they’re usually more than happy to snooze through our photo shoot. But don’t worry if your little one is already past that stage – we can still create beautiful memories at any age!

Preparing for Your Session: It’s Easier Than You Think

I know you’ve got a million things on your mind right now, but no need to worry. It doesn’t have to be stressful to get ready for your newborn session. Here are some tips to make it a breeze:

1. Timing is key: Try to schedule the session when your baby is typically at their calmest. For many newborns, this is in the morning after a good feed.
2. Keeping it cozy: I’ll make sure my studio is nice and warm for your little one. Dress them in loose, easy-to-remove clothing to avoid any marks on their delicate skin.
3. Feeding frenzy: A full tummy makes for a happy, sleepy baby. Feel free to feed your little one right before or even during our session.
4. Pack smart: Bring along extra diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes (for you and baby – trust me on this one!).
5. Relax: This is the most important part. I’ve got years of experience handling newborns, so you can sit back, relax, and even catch a nap if you need one!

A Word on Safety

Your baby’s safety is my top priority. I’ve trained extensively in newborn posing and handling, and I never force a pose if your little one isn’t comfortable. We’ll work together to create beautiful, natural images that truly capture your newborn’s personality.

Let’s Freeze Time Together

Becoming a parent is an incredible journey, filled with joy, challenges, and more love than you ever thought possible. These fleeting moments are worth preserving. From capturing the gentle way you cradle your newborn to documenting those adorable little wrinkles and wisps of hair, every detail tells the story of your growing family.

As your Philadelphia newborn photographer, it’s my honor to help you pause time for just a moment and create lasting memories of these precious early days. So, let’s work together to create beautiful, timeless images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. After all, your family is everything to you, and documenting these priceless moments is everything to me.
