My Simple, Meaningful Approach to Newborn Photography

When it comes to newborn photography, my approach is refreshingly simple. I focus on capturing you and your baby exactly as you are: No elaborate props, no complicated or unnatural poses, and no gimmicks. I believe newborns are perfect and beautiful just the way they are.

Rather than staging moments, I document real connection. Tiny fingers wrapped around yours. Quiet cuddles on the couch. The soft, fleeting details that tell the story of your baby’s first days. The ones you want to remember.

In-Home Newborn Photography: Your Safe Haven

I specialize in in-home lifestyle newborn photography because there’s no place more meaningful, or more comfortable, than your own home. This is where you feel most at ease, and that comfort brings out the most natural interactions and genuine moments.

Your home is where memories are made. It’s where your baby will grow, take their first steps, and where you’ll spend countless sleepless hours doing the hardest and most rewarding job in the world. Photographing your newborn in this space adds a layer of depth and storytelling that can’t be replicated in a studio.

The Secret to a Smooth and Stress-Free Newborn Session

A smooth newborn session starts with preparation and flexibility. By keeping things simple and allowing the session to flow naturally. Everyone, especially your baby, can relax.

Baby always leads the session. We pause for feedings, diaper changes, and snuggles as needed. This gentle, baby-led approach not only results in beautiful, heartfelt images but also makes the experience calm and enjoyable for the entire family.

No Perfect Timing Needed

Your Session Can Happen Anytime

Worried you missed the “perfect window”? You haven’t. Your newborn session doesn’t have to happen in the first 10 days. Your baby can be a little older and it will still be just as perfect.

Even if your birth didn’t go as planned, or your baby spent time in the NICU, you still deserve to have these moments documented. Every stage in those first weeks has its own magic, and it’s never too late to capture it.

Because of my simple, flexible approach, we can work around your baby’s schedule and your family’s needs. No rigid timing, no stress, just a calm, natural session that fits your life.

What If I Don’t Want to Be in the Photos?

It’s completely understandable to feel self conscious, especially as a new mom. You’ve been through a LOT! I’ve been there myself, standing in a dressing room, overwhelmed and exhausted, wondering if anything looks halfway decent. I truly get it.

But, I want you to know this. The bond between you and your baby is incredibly beautiful. This season is fleeting, and months or years from now, you’ll treasure having photos that capture this connection. Trust me. These images aren’t about perfection, they’re about love.

I’m here to help you feel comfortable and confident. It’s my job to guide you, pose you gently, and show you just how beautiful motherhood looks through my lens. No matter how sleep deprived you feel, every mama has a quiet glow with her baby. It’s truly awe-inspiring.

I’m also here if you need wardrobe advice. I got you!

Tiny hands, sleepy yawns, and quiet cuddles, these moments pass in the blink of an eye. With Sage & Bloom we can capture your baby exactly as they are, in the comfort of your home and the heart of your family. The old saying is true, “The days are long, but the years are short.” Your baby’s tiny hands and sleepy cuddles deserve to be remembered. We capture these moments as they truly are, so they’ll bring you back when you look at them.

If you’re expecting or have recently had a baby, I’d love to help you preserve this special season for your family.
