Working with me for Newborn or Baby Photos

I offer on-location and in-home lifestyle newborn photography in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas. You may have been told that newborn sessions have to happen within their first weeks. Since I tend more toward a lifestyle or documentary style shoot, these babies do not need to be sleeping and perfectly posed. We ditch the need for props and baskets and instead focus on a more natural and classic style. 

Yes, I do love to photograph those brand new babies and them sleeping in your arms. However, in my opinion, the most underrated age for professional photos is between 3-9 months old. These older babies are wide-eyed cuties, grabbing their feet, barely sitting up or learning how to crawl. If you are looking for a more natural and easy going approach or if you think you may have missed the window because you have an older baby, I’m the newborn photographer for you. Give me all of the squishy babies, please!




Newborns & Babies

During your session, you can expect to get a large variety of photos including baby alone, Mom and/or Dad with the baby, siblings with the baby, etc. My focus is on emotion and less on perfectly posing, so don’t worry if you feel like your baby or your kids are not cooperating or doing exactly what we ask of them. I promise you that we are getting gold. Your only job is to relax and love on your family. Many of my clients tell me that they were able to feel completely comfortable during the session and sometimes it felt like I wasn’t even there. I’m looking for real moments and the in-between moments that focus on the love you have for one another. If there are older siblings involved, these sessions are just as much about the entire family as they are about your precious newborn.

"I was nervous about how the boys and baby would handle posing for photos after everyone was sleep deprived and dealing with the big transition, but she did an AMAZING job of just keeping it fun and easy for all of us.”

If you are expecting or if you currently have a newborn, reach out to check availability. If you are hoping to capture your baby in those first few days, we can block off sometime around your due date. I know things don’t often go perfectly with timing (baby comes when baby comes), but I can let you know if I can keep several dates open around that time. If your baby is already here, let me know at what stage you are hoping to capture your baby and we can get something on the calendar. Availability is tight in the Fall, so make sure you reach out early if that is when you hope to get your newborn photos.
