Styling & Session Planning
HOW THIS WORKS
This experience is designed to be personalized, effortless, and stress-free.
You won’t need to plan anything yourself.
I’ll get to know your style and create every detail for you, from the family’s clothing, complete sets for your baby, posing, and overall feel of your session,
I’ll thoughtfully bring everything together to create a beautiful, timeless experience that feels personal to your family.
To get started, I'd love just a few things from you
Step 1.
Browse the Inspiration Gallery
Please browse the gallery and ❤️ up to 10 images that truly speak to you, images you can see your baby and your family in. Don't worry about the colors or any specific outfit or props shown in each image; I'll adapt everything to suit your personal color preferences.
When you're finished selecting your favorites, simply close the gallery window and return here to continue with the next step.
Your Session Wardrobe
I’ll thoughtfully select and coordinate your family’s wardrobe ahead of time, based on your preferences, features, and the overall look we’re creating. Everything will be prepared and ready when you arrive, with backup options to ensure everything comes together beautifully.
For your newborn, I’ll have several carefully styled looks ready to create variety throughout your session, while your family remains in one beautifully coordinated look.
How to Prepare &
What to Bring
What to Bring for Baby
The only essentials you need for your baby are a pacifier and bottles with milk. Even if your baby doesn’t usually take a pacifier, it can be helpful during the session. If your baby is formula-fed, bring more than you think is necessary. For breastfed babies, having a bottle or two of pumped milk can speed things up as I often feed them myself while posing.
Food and Drinks
Feel free to bring any food and drinks for your family. My studio has a microwave and fridge in the waiting room, so you can make yourselves at home and stay comfortable during the session.
Sibling Comfort
Newborn sessions can be long, especially for young siblings. While I have a play area to help entertain them, you might want to bring an iPad with their favorite movie or arrange for a family member to take them home once their part is done to make things easier.
Baby's Clothing
You don’t need to dress your baby in special outfits. They won’t be wearing their own clothes and will mostly be without a diaper. I provide all the wraps, hats, headbands, and tiny outfits needed for the shoot. If accidents happen, no worries – it's expected and part of the process!
Clothing for Mom & Big Sisters
I’ve got you covered when it comes to outfits! I usually provide one of my maternity dresses for moms and have several dresses for little girls in all sizes. If you prefer to bring your own clothes, feel free – just keep them simple and elegant.
Clothing for Dad & Big Brothers
For dads and boys, I recommend neutral tones like white, cream, or grey shirts with no logos or patterns, paired with neutral pants or jeans. If you want a more intimate look, dads can go shirtless for some poses, adding a unique touch to the photos.
Included Hair & Makeup
Professional hair & makeup is included for the main woman (approximately 1.5 hours), with quick hair touch-ups available for young children if needed.
Using Your Own MUA / DIY
Even though I highly recommend using my makeup artists because they specialize in creating looks that complement my photography style and make the experience relaxed from the start. However, if you have a trusted artist you love, you are welcome to arrive camera-ready and a $150 credit will be applied.
Nails
For the most timeless look, choose a natural manicure and pedicure in soft shades like white, nude, cream, or light pink.
If polish isn't your style, simply make sure your nails are clean, neat, and camera-ready.

DURING YOUR SESSION
1.
Your Baby's Comfort
Your baby’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. If things don’t go exactly to plan, don’t stress—your baby is the boss, and I will adjust accordingly. I want you to feel relaxed and enjoy your time at the studio as I work to create beautiful memories for you. Feel free to share any concerns you may have.
2.
Arrival at the Studio
Try to time your baby’s feeding to coincide with your arrival at the studio. I have a nursing pillow and comfortable seating to make this easier for you. If possible, keep the baby awake during the drive, so they can fall into a deep sleep once the session begins. But if they nap in the car, don’t worry! We’ll take the time we need to get them settled.
3.
During the Session
Once the session begins, I’ll handle soothing and posing your baby. The studio will be kept warm, and I have my own methods, like white noise and swaddling, to help them sleep. Don’t worry if your baby wakes or cries during posing—this is completely normal. We’ll take breaks for feeding when needed and move at your baby’s pace.
