Your baby is only this small for a week or two.
Let's slow the day down, take the pressure off, and end up
with art you can hold.
Here's why.
Your baby picks the date, not the calendar.
So when you book, I'm not holding a
Saturday for you — I'm holding your whole two-week window open and waiting for your text. That takes real room in a week, and it's the only way I can say yes whenever your baby decides to come.
Call early, and that room is still there.

She went above and beyond during our session — so happy we chose Alabaster to capture our newborn lifestyle photos!

How It Works
Your full gallery arrives within two weeks of your session. You'll get an email with a private link, and your images stay in your gallery for a full year so you can download them as often as you need.
When do we see the edited images?
Sessions take place in my New Richmond, WI studio at The Croix Studio, fully equipped with props, wraps, and backdrops, so everything is ready when you arrive. It's a warm, climate-controlled space designed specifically for newborns — no need to prep your own home.
Where do newborn sessions take place?
Absolutely. Newborn photography sessions are designed to preserve connection and the beginning of your family’s story, so parents and siblings are always encouraged to participate.
can parents and siblings be included?
No problem — not every baby settles right away, and that's completely normal. I have techniques to help soothe fussy newborns, and if we need to pause for feeding or comfort, we simply slow down. Some of the sweetest images come from wide-awake baby moments too.
What if my baby doesn't sleep?
Most newborn photography sessions last between 1–1.5 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding breaks, soothing, diaper changes, and a relaxed experience without rushing baby.
How long does a newborn session last?
The sweet spot is within the first 5–14 days, while your baby is still sleepy and easily posed into those classic curled-up shots. That said, every baby's timeline is different — I'll work with you to find the right window, even if you're already past two weeks.
When should newborn photos be taken?
Soft neutrals, simple textures, and comfortable clothing photograph beautifully and help keep the focus on your connection with your baby. After booking, I’ll send styling guidance to help make preparing for your session feel simple and stress-free.
What should we wear?
Always. Safety comes first, always. I'm trained through Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers Int'l. in safe posing and handling, and I never leave a baby unsupported. Every pose is baby-led and at your baby's pace — nothing is forced, and comfort always comes before the "perfect" shot.

FAQ
YOUR BABY STAYS YOURS
I don't post children online — not yours, not mine. Nothing from your session is shared anywhere unless you tell me in writing that you'd like it to be, and the default is always that nothing is shared.
The recent work on this site is shared with permission. Some of my newest sessions aren't here, and that's on purpose. If you'd like to see more, I'll walk you through it on our call.
