Frequently Asked Questions
-
My approach to newborn sessions is very relaxed and natural. My focus is on the bond between you and your new baby and your family as a whole. Although I do aim to capture those precious newborn details, you can expect that the majority of the session will be capturing sweet moments of connection. My newborn sessions can take place at home or a natural light studio. I do not offer heavily posed, artificially lit studio newborn sessions with backgrounds and props. I do bring pieces from my newborn closet and minimal props like bowls and baskets.

You definitely have options outside of doing a newborn session at home. I can provide local natural light studio recommendations that are available for rent. Studio rental is a separate fee that will be added to the retainer payment. For a stress free experience I can handle making the reservation.
-
I recommend for newborn sessions to take place between within the first 2 weeks of life. This is the sweet spot for having a sleepy fresh baby that can be easily posed. This time frame is also before baby acne hits. Every pregnancy and delivery is different and I’m completely understanding of this. I’m happy to help you plan your session for when you are ready!

We can still plan for a newborn session and make sure we capture this special time! For babies older than a few weeks you can expect a lot more lifestyle photos since these babies are often unable to be wrapped and posed. These sessions are cozy with lots of cuddles and capturing your family together. My Newborn Prep Guide will walk you through exactly how to prepare for the session! Preparation is key for capturing babies outside of the preferred 2 week window.

As early as possible! I only take on 3-4 babies a month in order to ensure my availability. This means it’s important to reach out early to secure your birth month! For a stress free experience, I have bundles available for reserving your Maternity & Newborn together.

Yes, my newborn closet is growing! I currently do have some beautiful neutral linen and knitted pieces to choose from. I also bring neutral wraps and minimal props to your session. I’m happy to include your sentimental items and favorite outfits.
In Home Lifestyle
Newborn Sessions
In-home lifestyle newborn sessions are a relaxed, natural way to document your baby’s first days in the comfort of your own home, focusing on genuine connection. These sessions are centered around your family’s real interactions, from cuddles on the bed to soft moments in the nursery. To achieve my signature light and airy style, they work best in homes with abundant natural light and soft, neutral tones in decor, textiles, and paint, allowing your images to feel bright, timeless, and beautifully true to your story.
Studio Newborn Sessions
Studio newborn sessions take place in a beautiful, naturally light-filled space designed to create soft, timeless images. These sessions include baby-led newborn posing and are best suited for babies 2 weeks and younger, when they are still extra sleepy and curl easily into those snuggly organic poses. While the focus is primarily on your baby, we also include meaningful family portraits with parents and siblings, capturing both the delicate details and the connection you share.
Kind Words
“As a new mom I was so comfortable with Julie handling my newborn. It helped so much to know she was a baby nurse. She capture the most incredible pictures of our new family and was a joy to work with. She is a true baby whisperer!”
