You don’t need to prepare or worry about a thing. From soothing to posing, everything is handled for you so you can relax and enjoy your baby’s first days. Most babies sleep through their session, and we move at their pace the entire time.
Because these days don’t last.
You blink, and they are already growing. A calm, baby-led session preserves just how small they once were—and how big your love already was.

Reserving a Session
Sessions are reserved well in advance, and it is never too early to save your spot on my calendar.
I generally have sessions reserved approximately 4 months out.
Newborn sessions last 2-3 hours and are held in my portrait studio in O’Fallon, MO.
Sessions are ideally scheduled between 7-21 days of life.
If you have heirlooms or meaningful items you’d like included, I’m happy to incorporate them.
I only reserve a limited amount of clients each month, which allows me to give my all to your session.
Also offering maternity and baby milestone photography
Many newborn clients also book maternity portraits and baby milestone sessions to document the full first year. You can view my St. Louis maternity photography sessions here, or explore baby milestone sessions for sitter and first birthday portraits.
