Sweet + Simple: Newborn Session

This works great for babies up to a few months old, not focusing on forcing them to sleep and letting baby be.


A LOT OF BABIES DON'T SLEEP IN THIS SHORT SESSION, IF YOU WANT SLEEPING NEWBORN PHOTOS POSED TO THE CAMERA PLEASE BOOK A TRADITIONAL SESSION

Tender moment between mother and newborn against brick wall background.

A gentle, connection-focused newborn session—no formal posing, no pressure, just your baby exactly as they are.

I’m so excited to offer these heartwarming sessions: a relaxed, meaningful alternative for families who love the look of lifestyle images but prefer the comfort and ease of a prepared studio. No need to clean or prep your home—just arrive, settle in, and enjoy a quiet moment together.

  • No pressure to sleep
  • No strict posing
  • No complicated setups
  • Perfect for older newborns, too

Let's capture those tiny stretches, big yawns, fluttery eyes, snuggles with you, and all the sweet, fleeting moments that define these early days.

Think of it as a studio version of a Fresh 48—cozy, connected, and completely baby-led.


We keep it simple, sweet, and meaningful:

• No formal newborn posing or deep-sleep setups

• Minimal props (Moses basket, studio bed, cream blankets)

• Cozy blankets and soft layering fabric

• Baby-led positioning—awake, asleep, stretching, or wiggly

• Natural connection + in-between moments

• A mix of Studio and natural light  for a warm, timeless feel


If you love the feel of a Fresh 48 session or an in-home lifestyle session, but want a calm, cozy studio space, you’ll adore this option. It’s organic, peaceful, and focused on emotion rather than perfection.


I also have a small collection of soft, knitted rompers, little bonnets, and headbands available for baby, if wanted.

What This Session Does Not Include

To keep this session relaxed and baby-led, this style does not include:

  • Wrapped or posed newborn workflows
  • Deep-sleep poses (tushy-up, chin-on-hands, womb pose, etc.) Baby stays naturally positioned, usually on their back or in your arms, like at home.
  • Posed prop setups (buckets, bowls, teddy bear poses, themed sets)
  • Backdrops or setups used for my Traditional Posed Newborn Sessions

If you love the look of structured, wrapped, or posed newborn photography, please check out my Traditional Newborn Session page — that style will be a better match.
