You haven’t met them yet—but you already love them more than words can say. You imagine their face. You wonder who they’ll look like. You picture holding them, memorizing every tiny feature.

And when they arrive, it all happens so fast.
That’s why newborn sessions matter.

These photos preserve the beginning of everything—those early days of wonder, warmth, and connection. Whether you want to focus on your baby alone or include the whole family, your session will reflect the quiet magic of those first weeks.

You don’t need to plan anything perfectly. Just book now, and when the time comes, I’ll be there—ready to capture your baby, your love, and your story with calm, natural care.

The Newborn Experience

Here’s what makes this experience special (and why so many moms say it’s the session they’re most grateful for after baby arrives):

  • Support from start to finish: I’ll guide you every step of the way—from when to book to what to expect—so you feel calm, prepared, and never overwhelmed. You’ll feel fully supported in this new chapter.
  • Effortless preparation: Whether you want solo baby images, family moments, or both, I help you plan every detail—from wardrobe to timing—so you can focus on what matters: soaking in the early days.
  • Gentle, baby-led approach: Sessions move at your baby’s pace with plenty of time for feedings, snuggles, and pauses. No rush. No pressure. Just space to be present.
  • Relaxed, heart-filled experience: I gently guide you and your family into natural connection and emotion—so nothing feels forced or uncomfortable. Most parents say it felt like a peaceful pause in the whirlwind.
  • A gallery that tells your story: Your final images will reflect more than just how your baby looked—they’ll show the love, the bond, and the beginning of everything.  Most sessions include a mix of the family as well as baby solo.
  • Prints and albums you’ll treasure: Your favorite images can become custom albums or heirloom wall art—pieces that preserve the moments you’ll never want to forget.

2.Planning your session

Once you're booked, I’ll guide you through everything—from deciding if you want baby-only, family moments, or both, to choosing outfits that feel comfortable, flattering, and totally “you” (yes, even if you're still living in nursing bras and dry shampoo).

You’ll have full access to my curated Motherhood Closet that includes everything you need—with soft, beautiful pieces for moms, dads, and older siblings to wraps and swaddles for baby that photograph effortlessly and feel like your style, whether that’s cozy, classic, or minimal.

Planning with me is low-pressure and completely personalized. All you have to do is show up and love on your baby—I’ll take care of the rest.

This is the sweet part. Most parents walk away saying how peaceful the session felt—like a quiet pause in the middle of the newborn whirlwind.

I’ll gently guide you into natural, flattering poses while also capturing the in-between moments—the way you cradle them, the sleepy smiles, the way your family is already finding its rhythm. Whether it’s just your baby, the two of you, or the whole crew, the session is relaxed, baby-led, and full of connection.

All you have to do is show up and love on your little one—I’ll take care of the rest.

If you have any hesitation about booking with Jessica, don’t! I  Let me tell you… it was an amazing experience from start to finish! I didn’t have to worry about what me and my family would wear, she took care of all of it. And during the actual photoshoot she was amazing. Quick but calm and did such a great job of soothing both of my girls when they got fussy from time to time (we have a newborn and a 2 year old). Lastly, the photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we will cherish them forever!

Cynthia & Caleb

Jessica was so patient and made the experience so fun and easy! She listened to all of our baby's cues and we would pause to feed and take a break anytime he got a little fussy. Our prints turned out amazing and even better than we expected. Great experience and would highly recommend!

Taylor & Taylor

Our family had newborn family photos done by Jessica. Jessica made it completely effortless on our end. All we had to do was show up. She provided outfits for my entire family including my husband. Jessica is so patient and kind. The time spent taking photos was so quick and she did great with our girls.

Jessica has captured precious moments and milestones of my family, and I am so pleased to say we will continue to use her as our family grows over the years! Jessica is a baby whisperer and has all of the magic touches to get the perfect smiles and coos out of little ones! She is so kind and always has such a positive approach that naturally lightens up the room and makes for a fun session! Jessica takes the most beautiful photos! We used our photos of our newborn son and family photos to give expression throughout our home! We are so grateful for them!
