Bringing a newborn into the world is one of the most beautiful—and exhausting—chapters of life. Between sleepless nights, endless feedings, and learning your baby’s needs, the idea of a photoshoot can feel overwhelming. But here’s the good news: with the right preparation and support, your newborn photo session can be calm, enjoyable, and even a...
Rescheduling Your Photo Session for Illness There are two reasons we might reschedule your session. One (if the session is planned for outdoors) is weather. The other, is illness. As I write this, my oldest is home sick with the stomach bug. The poor thing was up all night throwing up and is home today,...
When’s the best time to book newborn photos? (Hint: it’s sooner than you think!)
If you’re expecting a little one (congrats, by the way!), you’ve probably got a long to-do list—nursery setup, hospital bag, baby names, and maybe remembering to feed yourself in between. But one thing that’s totally worth adding to that list? Booking your newborn photos!
Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of the most incredible moments of your life. Those first few weeks are a blur of tiny fingers, sweet snuggles, and sleepy newborn stretches. And while the newborn stage passes quickly, professional photography can freeze those moments in time forever.
But with so many photographers out there, how do you choose the right newborn photographer for your family? Here’s what to consider to ensure you find someone who matches your vision, style, and needs.
Pregnancy and the newborn stage are two of the most fleeting and precious times in a family’s journey. While maternity photography captures the excitement and anticipation of welcoming your baby, newborn photography preserves those early, delicate moments once your little one arrives. Booking both a maternity and newborn photography session ensures you document the full story—from bump to baby—with beautiful, timeless images you’ll cherish forever.
So many sessions I haven’t shared yet! This one was a stunner 😍😍
The sweetest review 🥰🥰🥰
Your little family 😍😍😍
Remembering the spring blooms as I rip out one billion weeds in my garden 😍😍
Kindest words from this client— “These are AMAZING! I have had multiple people tell me these are the best family photos I’ve ever had, and some of the most beautiful photography they have ever seen. I was a little nervous with Rigby being so active, and us being sweaty hot messes but these are beyond beautiful. Thank you so much!“
Kind words from this lovely family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Anyone else jumping up and down this morning because both their kids are away for the whole day for the first time in 3 weeks!? Just me? 😬
Come on sun, do it!

“Will be coming back to Whitney for family photos! Her 10+ years of experience really showed through! Here is what I loved:
The wardrobe she offered up for postpartum moms for the photoshoot. I loved that she provided a link in advance so when I showed up to her studio I already knew what I wanted to try on. I opted to wear my own dress that I brought because my skin tone looks better in bright whites.
The ease! All I had to do was show up and the studio was stocked with food, baby changing table, cozy couch – it’s like showing up to a friends home!
Efficient – Whitney was amazing with my baby and she was able to calm her down and position the baby for beautiful pictures! The time flew and we opted for the larger package because the photos came out fantastic we couldn’t choose!
Friendly – Whitney was welcoming and patient when our baby became hungry during the shoot! She let us feed her mid way through the shoot!
Preparation – upon arrival to the studio she had outfit options laid out for the baby! It made the process less stressful and easy!
Fast turn around in pictures! Got finished pictures in less than 2 weeks! All amazing quality and she even did a minor edit on one within 24 hours upon request.
I can’t recommend her enough! No cons! Just book Whitney and you won’t regret it.”
