That New Baby Smell (And Other Reasons to Book a Newborn Session with Me)
Let’s be real: nothing smells better than a newborn baby. Okay, maybe coffee. Or a candle that smells like cookies. But still—newborns have this magical, warm-snuggly-sweet smell that just screams, “Freeze this moment forever.” And that, my friend, is exactly what I do.
Recently, I had the absolute joy of photographing a precious little girl (let’s call her Baby E) and her sweet family. They have come to see me a few times over the years and this recent visit was just as fun as all the others.
Baby E’s session was done in my cozy studio, where the thermostat is set to “toasty” and soft white noise hums like a lullaby. We kept things simple and timeless—creamy neutrals, soft wraps, and the occasional dreamy bonnet that made everyone melt like butter on pancakes. My goal? To make your baby the star without the props screaming louder than a hangry toddler.
Mom and Dad got to kick back, relax, and sneak a snack (and snuggle their big boys) while I gently posed Baby E into all those dont want to forget real moments—those curled-up tiny toes, the sleepy side smirks, and the “how are they already this cute?!” kind of shots. I even caught a mid-sneeze (which sounds weird but trust me—it was adorable).
If you’re reading this with a new baby on your chest or a due date circled in 14 highlighters on your calendar, here’s what I want you to know:
✨ You don’t have to bring anything but the baby (and maybe a diaper or two—trust me).
✨ I’ve got wraps, props, headbands, and even a client closet if you want to jump in for a few shots.
✨ Yes, I will pose you so you don’t feel awkward. Yes, I know your body just made a human. No, I won’t let you leave without a photo that makes you say “Whoa, I am a queen.”
✨ You get both digital images and print credit, because those sweet photos deserve more than life as phone wallpaper (although they’re perfect for that too).
Newborns don’t keep. The milk-drunk smiles, the flaky baby toes, the way they curl perfectly into your chest—these are the fleeting moments you’ll want to relive when they’re begging for car keys.
So let’s capture the calm, the chaos, and the cozy. (And if baby pees on me mid-shot? Don’t worry. Happens all the time. Literally.)
