Are you considering newborn photography but have some questions?
Don’t worry, I’m here to help!
As an in-home lifestyle newborn photographer in Las Vegas, I understand the value and importance of capturing these early days with your baby.
If you’re a new parent, you’re probably overwhelmed with all the decisions you need to make.
Newborn photography doesn’t have to be one of them.
I’ll guide you through the process and give you everything you need to know to make your session easy, comfortable, and unforgettable.
Why Newborn Photography Matters to Me
When I became a mom myself, I quickly realized how fast those first weeks fly by. I remember holding my baby and wishing I could freeze time. The photographs I have from those early days are some of my most cherished family memories. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping other families preserve these fleeting moments through newborn photography.
What should I look for when hiring a newborn photographer?
It’s important to choose a photographer who:
- Specializes in newborn photography
- Has experience working safely with infants
- Matches the style you want (posed, lifestyle, fine art, or a mix)
I focus on natural, lifestyle images in your own home so you feel at ease and your baby stays comfortable. Every detail, from posing to lighting, is designed to keep your little one safe while creating timeless, emotive portraits.
What can I expect during a newborn session?
During a newborn photography session, I’ll work to create a comfortable and safe environment for your baby, and guide you through the posing process. You can include your family members in the photos, and I encourage parents and siblings to participate in this special moment. If you have any specific poses or props in mind, I’m always happy to incorporate your ideas and preferences into the session. To capture the best moments, it’s important to schedule your newborn photography session as early as possible, ideally within the first two weeks of your baby’s life. I recommend booking your session as soon as possible during your pregnancy to ensure availability.
Sessions are baby-led and relaxed, lasting around 1.5–2 hours. This gives us time for:
- Feeding, diaper changes, and cuddles
- Parents and siblings joining in
- A mix of individual baby portraits and family interactions
Instead of stiff poses, I guide you into natural moments—like holding your baby close, gazing at their tiny details, or simply snuggling together. These unscripted interactions often create the most meaningful images.
Do I need to prepare my home or bring anything?
No need to deep clean your house—I work with natural light in just a few cozy spots like the nursery, living room, or bedroom.
You don’t need to provide props either. I bring soft blankets and wraps, but if you’d like, you can include personal items like a handmade quilt, a family heirloom, or your baby’s favorite swaddle. These details make your session unique to your family.
What should we wear for the session?
Keep it simple and comfortable. Neutral colors, soft fabrics, and minimal patterns photograph beautifully and allow the focus to stay on your baby. I’ll provide a style guide to help you prepare, including tips for siblings and parents.
When will I receive my photos?
After your session, you’ll receive your hand-edited, high-resolution images within 2–3 weeks. Your gallery will include digital downloads, and you’ll have the option to order fine art prints and albums to create lasting keepsakes.
How much does newborn photography cost?
Newborn photography is an investment in memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime. My collections start at $495, with the option to upgrade to packages that include additional images, fine art products, and albums.
The investment reflects the time, expertise, and artistry that go into creating your heirloom-quality images.
