As a mom and a newborn photographer, I say this with my whole heart: YES, a thousand times yes newborn photos are worth it!
When my kids were born, newborn photography wasn't really a thing. We had a little pocket-sized digital camera, and while I absolutely treasure those images (especially the bold red stamp printed on the corner!). But it's nothing like what is possible today.
The soft light and the thoughtfully styled sets to match your nursery. The way your baby curls into those tiny poses, swaddled and sleeping so peacefully. It's pure magic! And it disappears in the blink of an eye.
Professional photos don't just capture your baby; they freeze a season of your life you'll never get back and sometimes can't remember. Those early newborn days are a blur, after all. And that is always worth remembering.
Beyond just cute newborn pictures
It's more than just getting beautiful portraits (though you will definitely get those!). As a professional newborn photographer, I understand the delicate art of working with these tiniest of clients. We prioritize safety above all else, ensuring your baby is comfortable, warm, and secure throughout the session. We know the poses that are safe for their brand new bodies, and we have the patience and experience to settle them when they are fussy or need a break. It's an investment in peace of mind, knowing your precious little one is in experienced hands.
The lasting legacy
These aren't just photos for you right now. Imagine your child, years from now, looking back at these images. They'll see how tiny they once were, how much they were loved, and the beautiful beginning of their story.
