In-home lifestyle newborn photography sessions focusing on the the miracle of new life, and the joy of growing families.
Hey There Mama!
Nothing can compare to the joy of holding your tiny baby in your arms after months of anticipation. I know you're more exhausted than you've ever been, but trust me, you'll cherish these portraits forever.
Lifestyle newborn sessions are more organic than traditional posed newborn photos, and include the whole family.
"For this child I prayed and the Lord has granted the desires of my heart.."
1 Samuel 1:27
capture the wonder of new life...
All of my sessions include pre session planning, wardrobe guidance, a session prep guide, and digital image downloads.
Because I know how busy you are, I also offer complementary heirloom artwork design. If you're interested in framed artwork or a luxury photo album, I'll do all the design work for you.

Most lifestyle newborn sessions are in the family's home. I love to use the nursery, along with another room that has beautiful natural light. Usually, that means using the master bedroom or the living room. I also have studio sessions available. They take place in a beautifully restored historic home in downtown McKinney. You'll get the natural feel of an in-home session in a perfectly styled location.
Session length vary based on how the baby is feeling that day. Longer sessions allow for time to feed and sooth your baby as needed. You'll also feel more relaxed without the stress of rushing. A typical newborn session will last about 1-1.5 hours.
For timeless newborn portraits, simple is better. I'll bring some neutral baby wraps with me to use. My welcome guide includes additional details on selecting outfits for you and your whole family.
Babies sleep a lot during the first few weeks, so newborn sessions usually take place when they are 7-10 days old. If you're not feeling up to portraits that early, no problem! I've done newborn portraits with babies up to 6 weeks old, and they are still precious.
