We allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and breaks, so nothing ever feels rushed, allowing us to capture the beautiful newborn portraits you will love. You don’t need to worry about preparing much; we’ll guide you through everything from where to sit to how to hold your baby naturally. If you’ve been wondering what to expect from newborn photography, our goal is to create a relaxed experience where you can simply enjoy being present with your family.
Here’s what to expect:
- We follow your family’s rhythm. Every baby is different, and your session will flow in a way that feels natural for you and your little one.
- We guide with a gentle touch. From wrapping and posing to family snuggles, we offer soft direction while always staying baby-led and comfortable.
- We capture what’s real. Tiny details, tender moments, and the love that fills the room, the magic you’ll want to remember forever.
When to Schedule Your Newborn Session
The best age for newborn photos is typically within the first 1–2 weeks after birth, when babies are still extra sleepy and naturally curl into those cozy positions. If you’re wondering when to schedule your newborn session, we recommend reaching out during your second or third trimester to reserve a spot. We’ll plan around your due date and adjust as needed once your baby arrives. If you contact us when you get home from the hospital, we can finalize the date of the session, reaching out to us in the second or third trimester ensures we can have space in the schedule for your newborn baby portrait session.
What to Prepare at Home Before Your Session
Preparing for newborn photos at home is simple and stress-free. We’ll guide you in choosing a room with the best natural light and may suggest lightly clearing a few areas, but nothing needs to be perfect. Setting aside a few sentimental items or keepsakes you’d like included can help capture this special time. Having a few neutral outfits ready also helps everything flow smoothly. These in-home newborn session tips are all about keeping things easy so you can focus on your baby.
Including Siblings in Your Newborn Session
Including older siblings in your newborn session is always encouraged and often creates some of the most meaningful images. Whether you’re hoping for sweet sibling newborn photos or more playful, candid moments, we follow your child’s lead and keep things relaxed. We’ll gently guide interactions without forcing poses, so your family dynamic shines through in a natural and authentic way.
What's included in an At-Home Newborn Photography Session
Newborn sessions start at $500 and take place in the comfort of your own home, so there’s no studio to travel to and no unfamiliar environment for your baby. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes and are completely baby-led, moving at whatever pace feels right for your little one that day. Travel is included in this price, so there are no additional travel fees for homes located in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, or any of their suburbs.
Amelia is a registered labor and delivery nurse, which means your baby is always in caring and experienced hands. Parents, siblings, and family are all included at no extra charge, and you’ll never pay per photo.
Afterward, you’ll receive 50 to 75+ fully edited images in both color and black and white, delivered to your private online gallery within 1 to 2 weeks.
New life isn’t staged, it’s felt.
Our in-home newborn photography sessions are calm, gentle, and completely baby-led. We guide you just enough to help everyone feel comfortable, but always leave space for natural moments, sleepy stretches, and the quiet sweetness of new beginnings.
Whether you’re soaking in the early days or settling into your new rhythm, this is your chance to slow down, breathe, and document your family exactly as it is right now.
