If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve recently welcomed (or are about to welcome!) a new baby into your family—congratulations! This is such an incredibly special time, and as a newborn photographer in Connecticut, I know how important it is to document these early days before they pass in a blur.

But how do you even begin searching for the right photographer? A quick Google search for “newborn photographer near me” will bring up tons of options—so how do you decide?

I’m here to make it easier for you!

What Makes a Great Newborn Photographer?

Every photographer has their own approach, so finding the right fit for your family is key. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a newborn photographer:

✔ Photography Style – Do you love posed, studio-style portraits? Or do you prefer natural, candid moments?
✔ Experience & Safety – Working with newborns requires patience, skill, and safety awareness.
✔ Comfort & Convenience – Does the photographer come to you? Or will you need to travel to a studio?
✔ Emotional Connection – When you look at their work, do you feel something? Do their images tell a story?

If you love the idea of a relaxed, natural newborn session in the comfort of your own home, you might love my approach.

My Style: Emotive, Natural, and Effortless

I specialize in lifestyle newborn photography. This means your session will be all about capturing your baby just as they are—tiny, perfect, and completely adored.

Rather than stiff poses, I focus on:

✨ Heartfelt connections between you and your baby
📷 Soft, natural light for timeless, dreamy images
💛 Genuine interactions filled with warmth and love
🖼️ Tiny details—wrinkly fingers, sleepy smiles, and all the little things you’ll never want to forget

Think of it as freezing time in the most beautiful, real way possible. So that years from now, you’ll have photos that instantly bring you back to these early days.

What to Expect in a Session with Me

I keep things simple, stress-free, and natural. There are no elaborate setups, no stiff posing, and definitely no pressure to have a perfectly clean house (seriously, I’ve been there!).

Here’s how it works:

📅 Scheduling – Newborn sessions are best within the first two weeks of life. But I always prioritize your comfort and timing. If your baby is a little older, that’s totally fine!

📍 Location – I come to you! Whether it’s in your nursery, living room, or a cozy spot by the window, we’ll use your home as the perfect backdrop.

👶 Your Baby, Your Pace – Need to pause for a feeding or diaper change? No problem. My sessions are calm, baby-led, and totally flexible.
