Those early newborn days go by in a blur — the sleepy stretches, the tiny fingers, the way they curl up so naturally. A wrapped newborn session is designed to gently preserve those moments in the most peaceful and natural way.

If you’re feeling a little nervous about how your baby will do during photos, you’re not alone. The good news? Wrapped sessions are specifically designed to keep babies calm, comfortable, and sleepy the entire time.

There’s something incredibly special about photographing a family more than once — especially when you get to witness the transition from anticipation to arrival. This sweet family first came into my studio for their maternity session, and getting to welcome them back again — this time with their newborn in their arms — was such a full-circle moment. From glowing mama to brand-new baby, this session felt like the perfect continuation of their story.

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most exciting (and overwhelming!) times of life. To make your newborn session simple and stress-free, I’ve put together a quick guide to walk you through the newborn booking process.

I am so excited you are here! Please reach out with any questions that I can help with.

One of my favorite parts of my job is being able to walk through life’s seasons with the families I photograph – and this session was such a fun reminder of that.

I first met this beautiful family two years ago for big brother’s newborn session. Since then, we’ve captured toddler giggles with a cake smash, and now a newborn session for baby #2! There’s something extra special about having longtime clients return with a brand new baby. It’s a reminder about how fast time moves – and how lucky I am to help freeze just a little piece of that for them. Because I know this family, there was an ease to this session. Everyone knew the flow, and the trust is already there, which makes all the difference when working with children.

We planned this newborn session in the studio, where it’s warm, cozy, and families are able to look at props, choose colors, hats, blankets, wraps, etc. We used three different colored fur blankets from Luneberry, and the basket at the end is from Hello Little Props. Baby boy was a dream, so snuggly and sweet, and let us capture those sleepy poses that every parent treasures.

Big brother joined us for some sibling shots, and while baby brother was being fed, we did a couple of happy portraits while he ate his (bribery) lollipop. After baby was good and full, we laid down on a soft blanket for some sibling shots, and big brother did such a great job of smiling, and keeping baby safe with his arm around him.

To the Montuya family, thank you for continuing to trust me with your memories. It means the world to me to be part of your journey! Baby boy is so lucky to be born into your family.

Can’t wait to see you for his cake smash!
