Newborn Photography
Those first days with your baby are unlike anything else — quiet, hazy, and filled with a love you didn’t know existed. My newborn photographer sessions are calm and natural, focused on connection over posing. I’ll gently guide you through the process while capturing every tiny detail — the curled fingers, soft yawns, and the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms. These images become heirlooms that remind you how small they once were, and how deeply you loved them from the start.
Tiny Details. Big Love. Endless Wonder.

01. Book Your Session
what to expect
Yes. I provide a carefully curated selection of wraps, layers, and simple newborn styling pieces designed to create timeless, connection-focused newborn photographs.
do you provide wraps and props
Newborn photography sessions can take place in my New Richmond photography studio or in your home for a more relaxed lifestyle approach. I serve newborn families throughout the St. Croix Valley, including Hudson, Baldwin, River Falls, Somerset, and surrounding communities.
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?
Every baby is different, and newborn sessions are completely baby-led with plenty of time for feeding, soothing, cuddles, and breaks as needed. Awake baby moments are often some of the most meaningful images we capture.
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?
Newborn photography sessions are ideally scheduled within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are still sleepy, curled, and naturally settled for those timeless newborn images.
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?
Most families reserve their newborn photography session during the second trimester to ensure availability around their due date, though I always do my best to accommodate last-minute inquiries when possible.
