LIFE IS LIVED IN MOTION. YOUR MEMORIES SHOULD BE TOO.
Those first weeks go by so fast... Hormones, no sleep, it all can easily become such a blur for mothers and make you miss out on precious little details... Because of that, many parents struggle to find ways to freeze time with their newborn. But what if you were able to have your everyday family memories in a beautiful and meaningful film (plus photos) that you and your children can cherish for a lifetime?
I will come to your home (or preferred location) for a session that includes your immediate family members (and pets, too!), documenting the love and connection of your family with your newborn. This a very relaxed session while you do your normal routine. My style is a mix of lifestyle and documentary, creating a video and photos with an emotional feel and nostalgic look. I will give you some direction, but my favorite moments to capture are the genuine interactions you have with your baby. We’ll usually spend time on your bed, in the living room, or a nursery if you have one set up. I love to photograph babies naturally without poses and I’ve found they are the happiest when on your arms. The photos from those sessions are mostly unposed, but I’ll get some traditional portraits as well. In-home newborn sessions take place on a weekday morning.
Newborn Film + Photos Sessions are for parents who want more than the average photography session. This is your baby's story, in stills and in motion, preserved in a time capsule for you and for your children.

Newborn and Baby Video & Photos FAQ
-
The best time to book your newborn session is before your baby is born, but you can book your Newborn or Baby session with me any time. Even when you don't have a newborn anymore, but an older baby, you can schedule your session. I have limited availability, so if you have a date in mind, it's best to reach out early to make sure you get it! For Newborn bookings simply select a date 1-2 weeks after you're due, pay the deposit, and you are all set! And no stress if the baby is born early or late, we can always adjust the timing.
-
I like to do newborn sessions during the first 4 weeks of the baby's life. That being said, if you need more time to recover from delivery, that's okay, too! Newborn and Baby lifestyle sessions are all about real moments and real life, so the timing is the least important factor.
-
I offer two options regarding the length of a session depending on what you want to cover: 4 hours (regular session called A Day In The Life), and 1 hour and half (shorter session called A Moment In The Life). More details on the Price Guide, which request button is down the page.
-
During a lifestyle newborn session, the family should wear what you would normally be wearing at home. Having said that, dressing in bright colors or busy patterns is often distracting to the viewer. Ad neutrals do not have to mean a plain white t-shirt. I consider neutrals as a palate of gray, navy, tan, white, ivory, soft blue, soft pink, etc. Stick to solid colors or a simple pattern (stripes are a big no). Try to avoid logo or branded clothing as this will date. So keep it casual and comfy. Remember we are documenting a normal day of your life.
-
We can film it as a Fresh 48 session at the hospital / birthing center / at home; or as Newborn / Baby session at your home. All we really need is a bed and a window. :)
-
It varies based on my schedule and the amount of video/images taken. Generally my turnaround time is about 4 weeks, but I want to deliver them to you as fast as possible. Photos will probably be delivered first, then the film and prints.
-
A film generally takes anywhere from 15-20 hours (sometimes even longer) to create. Video requires a great deal of time spent editing to get things just right, far more time than it takes for photos. It might seem expensive, but I guarantee you it's worth it and the value of that film will only increase with every year that goes by after you've had it made.
Testimonial
“My favorite thing about the shoot is that it took place at home... We all felt so comfortable, we were in our element… Our kids are going to have this video that took place in the home they were raised, and see what it looked like at the time, what their parents looked like, what we all sounded like… I could not imagine having a baby and not having one of these. I wish I knew about this for my first born but I am so thankful I have it for my little girl. It’s something we will treasure forever.” - Jessica Giffin, Loxahatchee, Palm Beach County.
