Newborn
Newborn sessions take place in my Manhattan home studio, within baby's first 2–5 weeks for the best sleep and easiest posing. Book during pregnancy to reserve your date, a creative fee secures your spot until baby arrives.
Newborn sessions are hands-on and carefully guided from start to finish. I handle all the posing myself, with over 15 years of experience and formal training in newborn safety. My approach is always baby-led, so your little one stays comfortable throughout. I carry full professional insurance and I'm happy to accommodate masks or extra precautions if you'd like. Every pose is done with care, and every image is hand-edited for a cohesive, polished gallery.
NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION
Your little one takes center stage in every image, with carefully selected accessories and props contributing to the minimalistic and timeless aesthetic. My signature style is created by soft, creamy skin tones, defining shadows, and clean sets. We will work together to choose colors and set expectations for your newborn photoshoot. All my backdrops, headbands, bonnets, wraps, fabrics, and props are available for use. Upon booking, you will receive a Preparation Guide filled with valuable tips to get ready for your session.
Let's create timeless memories together — book your newborn session today.

The best time to contact me is during your pregnancy, ideally in the second trimester. As I only take a limited number of sessions each month, early contact ensures availability. Upon booking your newborn session, a creative fee is paid, and your due date is added to my calendar. After your baby arrives, we'll coordinate to schedule a convenient date and time for the session.

Newborns are best photographed in the first 2–5 weeks. During this period, babies tend to sleep more soundly, curl into adorable poses more easily, and are less likely to experience colic, baby acne, or cradle cap.

Our sessions are designed to be approximately 3 hours long, allowing ample time for feeding and cuddling whenever needed. These sessions are scheduled on weekday mornings. This timing ensures that your baby has not yet been overstimulated by the day's activities.

All newborn sessions take place in the comfort of my home studio, conveniently located on East 20th Street and 1st Ave.

For the sake of maintaining the consistent quality of my work, I do not travel for newborn sessions. My home studio offers the ideal setting where all variables are meticulously controlled – from lighting and backdrop systems to maintaining the perfect room temperature and an extensive array of props. A home studio ensures a stress-free experience for you; simply relax on the couch while I craft beautiful images of your little one. Traveling to the studio tends to be easier than the efforts involved in tidying up, rearranging furniture for optimal space and lighting angles, and managing the perfect environmental temperature. Trust me on this – stepping out for some fresh air becomes a far more enjoyable alternative!
