LSP Newborn Session

$700.00

I believe in the importance of memory and in the need for photographs to make those memories tangible. Those first sweet days and weeks with a new baby are some of the most precious, difficult, intense, lovely days in life. I feel honored every time I'm welcomed into that space.

Your Newborn Session includes up to three hours and all of your your edited, high-resolution digital images. You'll also get a protected online gallery with download access, plus the ability to share, and to purchase prints, products and albums.

Booking info:

I offer a limited number of newborn sessions each month. To purchase a session, please can select the month you anticipate your session will be. We'll work together on a specific date and start time once the baby is born and based on your family's routine, but typically sessions are offered on weekdays and they begin in the morning around 9 or 10 am - this is all flexible, though! If you select September and end up needing the session in August or October, no worries at all.

This session fee is non-refundable, but is transferable to another date if rescheduling becomes necessary. Reschedules must occur within 2 months from the original date.

  • You are welcome to book as soon as you know you’d love to schedule a newborn session with me! Just select the month you’re estimating our session will be in, and we’ll go from there, finalizing our day and time once baby is here and you’re ready to solidify a plan.

    In terms of timing: I’m a lifesyle newborn photographer, so I don't fall into the "must photograph newborns as soon as possible” camp. Since there's no crazy posing involved, and I don't need baby to be as sleepy as posed newborn photographers would, there is really no rush. And because family will be in a lot of the photos, I prefer to wait until you're all feeling well and settled, so I leave dates/timing up to you. 

    I typically schedule newborns on weekday mornings, 9am/9:30am/10am are great start times, but I'm flexible!  

    Newborn sessions are a very relaxed pace and they typically take about 2-3 hours, allowing for plenty of feeding breaks, changing breaks and parent snuggles. 

  • To maximize your comfort, and because I am a lifestyle newborn photographer (not a prop/posed newborn photographer), LSP Newborn sessions typically take place in and around your home, allowing for plenty of feeding breaks, changing breaks and parent snuggles, but mostly because this allows me to document this new version of your family as it is right now - the nursery you worked so hard on, the place you call home, your pets, plants, pillows and the little nooks and people that mean the most to you.

    As an alternative, you're welcome to choose to come to my beautiful, bright, natural light studio in downtown Rochester.

  • I would suggest having baby in a simple, well fitting, neutral onesie for when I arrive. I always gravitate toward simple, even just baby in a diaper is cute to capture those tiny arms and legs.

    For parent outfits, my only suggestion is to wear something you're comfortable in, if you feel like yourself in it, it's the right choice.

    I know styling yourself in a postpartum haze can be difficult. These sessions are about documenting connection, not perfection, and hopefully that brings you some peace.

    If you think you need more help with styling, I totally get it- I suggest connecting with local stylist Vivien Reed.

  • You can expect to receive ~150+ finished/edited photos from our time together.

  • Newborn session galleries are delivered in 2-3 weeks.

  • Travel within 25 miles from downtown Rochester is included. If you would like your session to be outside of this range, I charge a travel fee of $.70/mile.
