The Newborn Experience
At-home newborn photo sessions are held in your home within the first 12 weeks of your baby’s life. Home is the place where everyone is most comfortable, which guarantees a peaceful, beautiful experience and gorgeous photos you’ll love for a lifetime.
Whether we plan a quiet celebration with simply mom, dad and baby or joyful moments with siblings and new grandparents too, these are the moments you’ll always treasure. Even better, your photos are typically ready for you within one week!
I primarily offer in-home newborn photography in The Woodlands, Texas, but I am always happy to travel to you!
The Process
After you book, your due date officially goes on my calendar. I will help you with what to wear, how to prep your home, wardrobe suggestions for your entire family, and how to ensure a smooth session with a sleeping baby! My Celebrate Motherhood magazine goes out to every mama who books with me. It’s full of tips for a beautiful, stress-free session that looks like it came straight out of a magazine!
The best part is, we’ll make these precious memories in your home. You don’t have to pack up your newborn and drive to an unfamiliar place just days after giving birth. I’ll come to you with everything we need for incredible photos.
After your in-home newborn session, you’ll receive your complimentary sneak peek within 24 hours. Your full gallery of gorgeous images will be delivered within a week, and you’ll be featured on my blog!

The In-Home Newborn Experience FAQs
Q: What makes The In-Home Newborn Experience different?
A: As a mama of three little girls, I know exactly how special these memories are. That’s why I created The In-Home Newborn Experience. Before your session, I’ll send a questionnaire so you can tell me all about your vision for your photos: whether you prefer color or black & white photos, what angles and features you love (and those you don’t), what you hope to get out of your session in addition to pretty photos, and more.
The morning of your photo session is relaxed and centered around baby’s needs. I only photograph one newborn session per day so that we’re not rushed to make these priceless memories of you and your baby. I’ll provide very gentle posing guidance to capture you, your family and your newborn in natural, authentic moments. Basically, it’s one or two hours of you and your husband snuggling with your new baby! There is nothing better!
Q: What if I don’t know what to wear?
A: I’ll bring long, flowy gowns from my studio closet for you if you’d like! All of my newborn session gowns and dresses are flattering for postpartum mamas and make it easy to nurse. I love brand new mamas in soft pastels and earth tones; these colors look amazing on you and next to your newborn.
If you prefer to wear something of your own, my Celebrate Motherhood magazine includes lots of guidance for how to select your wardrobe. Most mamas text photos of outfits before their sessions for instant feedback and peace of mind!
Q: My husband hates being photographed and I don’t know how my older child will be with our newborn.
A: No problem! I’m a mama of three silly girls, so nothing surprises me when it comes to kiddos! Don’t worry about your older child(ren). There are tips in my magazine for how to engage them during your photo session, and I’ll come prepared to get smiles from everyone.
When it comes to your hubby, there isn’t a dad alive who isn’t bursting with pride over his new baby! I’m used to working with men who don’t exactly love being photographed, but they understand the importance of making these memories. Trust me when I say you’ll fall in love with your husband in an entirely new way when you watch him love on your baby during this session! It’s one of my favorite parts of working with new dads.
Q: What COVID-19 precautions are you taking?
A: I completely understand the concern you may be feeling about scheduling a photo session during COVID-19. I’ve outlined my extensive COVID-19 precautions here. In addition, I’ve always required that my clients agree to a strict Maternal & Infant Health policy. In fact, it’s included within all of my client contracts. Your health and peace of mind are important to me, which is why I’ve put these measures in place.
Q: Do you offer payment plans for photo sessions?
A: Yes! I offer payment plans for every option except for single sessions. We’ll structure a payment plan that works for your family.
