Newborns
The newborn photography experience consists of four steps.
Feel free to call us today at 513-449-0318 or, if you prefer, email us.
We love to discuss each step of the process with you in person! We can discuss photo shoot ideas, what to wear, and how to best accomplish your goals. We can also show you examples of our beautiful products. We offer three newborn session types to fit your style. See below. We’d love to help you choose if you can’t decide! It is recommended you book your session in advance of your due date so that everything is lined up and stress free.
You can expect a fun, professional experience with us during our photo session together. We’ll bring our experience, expertise, and patience to get the perfect shots. You can see typical session information (pricing, time, etc) below.
Following your session we will schedule an in-person viewing appointment where we will work with you to choose your favorite images and products.
All final images will be hand-retouched using state-of-the-art software and will be delivered to you based on your selections (canvas, woods, metals, etc).
Choose one of the following three session types:
1. Newborn Simply Swaddled Mini Sessions [new for 2019! save $150!]: This is a shorter option for parents who want us to capture just a few great images of their brand new baby in our studio. In a SIMPLY SWADDLED session, the baby is wrapped from the very beginning and stays wrapped for the entire session. A SIMPLY SWADDLED session generally lasts about one hour and 10 – 15 images will be shown at the reveal and ordering appointment. Session fee: $175 Sale $100! (Read more about this special)
2. Newborn Photography Sessions [our most popular session type!]: Our newborn sessions are always a hit! These studio sessions involve patiently waiting for the baby to fall asleep, then gently posing him or her. We will capture your newborn in a variety of poses and include some special props. These sweet images will melt hearts for years to come. A newborn session may take up to 3-4 hours (entirely depending on baby). 20 – 30 images will be shown at the reveal and ordering appointment. Session Fee: $250

3. Newborn Lifestyle Sessions: Lifestyle portraits are an ideal way to portray raw emotions. Candid images artistically capture things just as they are, real moments frozen in time for you and your family to enjoy over and over. Lifestyle sessions do not require as much time as a posed session and typically take place in your home. Interaction with other family members is encouraged. These sessions last up to two hours, depending on baby. 15 – 20 images shown at reveal and ordering appointment. Session Fee: $175

Things to keep in mind
- Both Newborn Sessions and Simply Swaddled Sessions take place in our beautiful Oakley studio. Tours available upon request.
- We take great care to create a cozy and clean setting for your newborn session. We kindly ask that all guests remove their shoes for the session. Everything is completely cleaned after each session and things like wraps, blankets, and hats are all washed after each use.
- Session fees cover the time and talent of the photographer and do NOT include any products. All products are purchased separately.
Moon & Stars [save over $100!]: Add a six month and one year session to your newborn session (must be added at newborn session booking). Two extra sessions, up to two hours each, with an additional 25 – 30 images for viewing. Each moment from birth to their first birthday is incredibly special and fleeting. We love watching your baby grow and we love documenting your amazing family story. The love and memories we capture during the first year of baby’s life will remain with you long after they have grown. Six month sessions are exciting, lively, and fun! There are so many ways to document your little ones first birthday! From a romp in the local park at sunset to a cake smash in studio. Additional Fee: $150 (Book now!)
All product purchases are À la carte so that you only pay for exactly the images you want. There is no need to pick a package as with most competitors. Please keep in mind that none of our session fees include any products!

As soon as baby comes, it’s non-stop late nights and hard work for Mom and Dad. Coordinating a photo session seems like the last thing on your list of priorities. This is why we recommend booking your session at least 2-4 months in advance of your due date to make sure everything is lined up ahead of time and you don’t have to worry! Once your little bundle of joy arrives, please contact us to let us know the news. We will work closely with you or a family member to find a day and time that works for everyone. Newborns are best photographed under 2 weeks of age; the ideal timing before 9 days.
We’d love to hear from you to answer your questions or discuss your interest in booking a session. You can also find more information about our offerings on our general services page.
In the interest of fairness to all clients, we are unable to offer special discounts or deals except those that may be advertised occasionally as promotions. For this reason, please understand that session fees, product prices, and business policies are non-negotiable. Session fees are also non-refundable and non-transferable. Thank you for respecting my work and livelihood by not making such requests.
