Bringing a new baby into the world is an extraordinary season in your family’s story. But it’s also one that passes in a blur — sleepless nights, endless feeding schedules, and days that blend into each other. It’s easy for those precious details — the curl of your baby’s hair, the way they fit so small in your arms — to slip away before you realize it. That’s where in-home newborn photography comes in. And not just any portraits, but a luxury, concierge-style experience designed to be as effortless as possible for you.

Why In-Home Newborn Photography?

For many new moms, the idea of packing up a newborn, gathering outfits, and leaving the house just days or weeks after birth can feel overwhelming. Your care team may even advise against it. In-home newborn portraits allow you to stay in your own environment, surrounded by the familiar comforts of your home, while still receiving magazine-worthy portraits.

For one recent client, her midwife had instructed her not to get out of bed after delivery. She never had to — I came in, photographed her baby in the coziness of their bedroom, and created an entire collection of portraits that now hang beautifully on her walls. She didn’t need to move an inch, and yet she has timeless art of her child that she’ll treasure forever.

The Done-For-You Difference

This is not a “photographer shows up and snaps some pictures” type of service. Our luxury experience takes care of every detail for you:

  • Hair & Makeup: I can bring in professional hair and makeup artists so you can look and feel your best — even if you’ve only slept for two hours. Imagine starting your session feeling pampered and cared for.
  • Wardrobe Planning: If you book before your baby arrives, we’ll take time together to plan your session wardrobe. You can explore the client closet, and together we’ll coordinate outfits for siblings and partners, making sure everything complements your home once displayed.
  • Location Planning in Your Home: During our pre-session consultation, I’ll walk through your space with you (either in person or virtually) to identify the best spots for portraits. I’ll consider lighting, wall space for artwork, and the overall design of your home so that the final artwork feels like it belongs.
  • The Portrait Session: On the day of your session, you don’t have to do a thing. I’ll come prepared with everything needed, and we’ll work around your baby’s natural rhythm. Whether your little one is snoozing peacefully or wide-eyed and curious, I know how to capture each moment beautifully.
  • Artwork Selection & Design: Soon after your session, we’ll meet again to choose your favorite images. I’ll guide you through designing albums, selecting frames, and creating gallery walls that will grow with your family. This process ensures that your portraits don’t end up forgotten on a hard drive, but instead become part of your everyday life. Bringing you back to this moment and cementing your love for your new baby in a visual reminder. 
  • Professional Installation: To complete the experience, my professional art installer will come to your home and hang your portraits for you. No stress, no second-guessing whether they’re level — just the joy of seeing your family’s legacy displayed where you’ll enjoy it every day.

The Value of Tangible Memories

Digital files are convenient. They can’t compare to walking by your child’s portrait every morning. Or flipping through a handcrafted album on the couch with them as they grow. Newborn portraits are more than just pictures — they’re visual reminders that your child is loved, wanted, and celebrated. In the whirlwind of early parenthood, those reminders matter more than ever.

Booking Your In-Home Newborn Portraits

The newborn stage passes quickly, and availability for in-home sessions is limited. The best time to reserve your session is before your baby arrives, so we can plan wardrobe, locations, and all the details together. That way, when your little one makes their debut, all you have to do is rest — I’ll handle the details.
