Mini Newborn

Perfect for families who want beautiful newborn portraits of BABY ONLY in a shorter, simplified session.

​​

I know those first few weeks with a newborn can feel like a blur of feedings, diaper changes, and very little sleep. The Mini Newborn Session is designed for families who want to capture this stage without committing to a longer session. We'll focus on your baby and all those tiny details you'll never want to forget—little fingers, sleepy stretches, flaky toes, and the way they fit so perfectly in your arms.​

Full Newborn

For families who want the complete newborn experience with parent and sibling photos included.

If you've been dreaming of those beautifully styled newborn portraits along with family and sibling photos, this is the session for you. With access to my curated props, wraps, outfits, and multiple setups, we'll create a gallery that captures not only how your baby looked, but how this season felt. These sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and designed to preserve the love, connection, and excitement of welcoming your newest family member.​

Lifestyle Newborn

For families who want to remember what life was really like in those first few weeks at home.

Maybe you'd rather stay curled up on the couch than pack everyone up for the studio. Maybe you want photographs in the nursery you carefully prepared or in the home where your baby will grow up. Lifestyle newborn sessions focus on genuine connection, natural moments, and the beautiful little details that make your family's story unique. The cuddles, the nursery, the way your baby fit against your chest—these are the moments you'll treasure years from now.

When should you book your Newborn Session?

The best time to reserve your newborn session is during your second trimester. Rather than booking a specific session date, I reserve space around your due date and then finalize the exact session once baby arrives. This ensures flexibility if your little one decides to make an early or late appearance.

 

Most newborns are photographed within the first 2–3 weeks after birth, when they are still sleepy and curled up, but beautiful images can be created at any age.

Everything you Need is Included

The newborn days are exhausting enough without worrying about what to bring, what your baby should wear, or how to prepare for your session.

 

From the moment you book, I’m here to guide you through the entire experience. My goal is simple: to make documenting your baby’s first days as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

 

Whether you’re welcoming your first baby or your fourth, you’ll never be expected to have everything figured out before you arrive.

 

✨ Access to my curated newborn wraps, outfits, headbands, bonnets, and props

We had the most wonderful experience with Meagan during both our maternity and newborn sessions. From start to finish, everything felt calm, comfortable, and so thoughtfully guided. They were incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive—especially during the newborn session—which made us feel completely at ease.

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and captured such genuine emotion and detail that we’ll cherish forever. Her creativity, professionalism, and ability to make the whole experience feel natural truly stood out. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for timeless, heartfelt photos.

FAQ

How old should my baby be?

Newborn Sessions are best photographed within the first 7–14 days after birth when babies are naturally sleepy, curly, and still adjusting to life outside the womb. This allows us to create those sweet, peaceful newborn portraits that parents love.

That said, beautiful newborn photographs can still be created if your baby is a little older.

Are family and sibling photos included?

Family and sibling photos are included with both the Full Studio Newborn Session and Lifestyle Newborn Session.

The Newborn Mini Session is a baby-only experience designed for families who want beautiful newborn portraits in a shorter, simplified session.

How long does the session take?

Every baby is different, so session lengths are approximate.

Newborn Mini Session: Up to 1 hour
Lifestyle Newborn Session: Approximately 1–2 hours
Full Studio Newborn Session: Approximately 2–3 hours

Newborn sessions are always baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and soothing breaks as needed.

What if my baby arrives early or late?

No worries at all. When you book, I reserve space around your due date rather than booking a specific session date. Once your baby arrives, you’ll simply let me know and we’ll schedule your session accordingly.

This allows flexibility whether your little one decides to make an early or late appearance.

What if my baby cries or needs to eat?

Babies are always in charge during newborn sessions.

We’ll pause as needed for feeding, diaper changes, cuddles, and soothing breaks. There is never any rush.

My studio is stocked with diapers, wipes, a changing station, and a warm, cozy environment designed specifically for newborns, so you can relax and focus on enjoying these first days with your baby.

What do I need to bring?

For Studio Newborn Sessions, all wraps, props, outfits, headbands, bonnets, and styling are provided. Simply bring your baby, feeding supplies, and anything you may need for a diaper change.

For Lifestyle Newborn Sessions, I’ll provide a prep guide before your session so you know exactly what to expect and how to prepare your home.
