What to expect

a luxury experience

You’ve been dreaming about this moment for months—the moment you finally meet your baby. You’ve picked out names, decorated the nursery, stocked up on diapers, and somehow managed to install that car seat without crying. (Okay, maybe you cried. It’s fine. We all did.)

Your baby’s first portraits deserve that same level of care—and maybe a little less stress.

Because it’s not just about the photos.
It’s about remembering how tiny their fingers were before they started grabbing your coffee.
It’s about freezing time for just a second when everything else feels like a beautiful, chaotic blur.
And it’s about you, mama—feeling seen, supported, and gently reminded that you're doing an amazing job (even if your shirt is inside out).


When you book a session with Shelly, it’s more than just a photoshoot—it’s a chance to tell your story. We’ll walk through every detail, from colors and outfits to the moments you want to remember forever—like sleepy snuggles or that sweet sibling kiss (that may or may not have been a bribe).

My job is more than taking pretty pictures.
It’s about making sleepless nights look picture perfect.

Let’s capture the love, the laughter, and the “how-is-this-real?” moments—so you’ll always remember just how magical (and slightly messy) this chapter truly was.

🍼 Why it’s worth it
When you invest in newborn photos with me, you’re not just getting images—you’re getting peace of mind.
🕰️ You get time back.
No stress. I’ll guide you through everything—prep, outfits, baby tips—you just show up and soak in the magic.
💗 You get to feel like yourself again.
Postpartum can feel messy. My space is gentle, calm, and free of pressure. You’ll feel beautiful, even if you’re running on coffee and dry shampoo.
👶🏼 You get the details you’ll miss.
That sleepy stretch. The flaky toes. The way they fit into your arms just right. The moments that disappear in a blink—that’s what I capture.

Let’s find the package that fits your season (and your sleep schedule). No matter which one you choose, you’ll get thoughtful care, cozy vibes, and photos that remind you: you’re doing an amazing job.

Newborn session FAQ

*HOw old should baby be for a newborn session?

It is best to get baby's photos done before 14 days old. This is when they are the sleepiest. It is absolutely possible to still get beautiful pictures after 14 days but just know they could be more awake and some of the sleepy poses might not be possible. 

*what to expect in a newborn session?

Newborn sessions can take a few hours, everything stops if the baby needs to be fed, burped, comforted or changed, so it is not all photography time. So don't set up something time sensitive afterwards. There is no need to purchase any clothing for your baby for the session.

*what should mom wear for newborn pictures?

The best advice really is to keep it simple. Tip #2: I always recommend starting with a neutral palette. Light-colored wardrobe in creams, light grays, and light pastels helps in keeping the focus on expressions and the moment. Tip #3: Moms, say yes to the dress!

*what time of day is best for a newborn session?

In my experience the best time of day is mid to late morning or 9am to 12noon. This is usually after they've had a feed and settled down for a nap. Because we rely on the baby being asleep to get the most creative poses, a photoshoot always best after the baby has had a feed.

"Incredibly sweet and takes amazing photos! She was so great with our newborn and we got the sweetest pictures."

While my services do include digital-only collections, meaning no printed artwork from your session, I feel compelled to express my deep belief in the transformative power of seeing oneself as art.

There’s something profoundly special about encountering your image in print, whether it’s flipping through the pages of your album or marveling at your exquisite metal art prints. In print, your memories become tangible, tactile, and timeless, inviting you to immerse yourself fully in the beauty of each frame.

So while digital copies offer convenience and accessibility, there’s a described magic that comes with holding your memories in your hands and admiring them in physical form. It adds emotion, and significance to the images, making them not just pictures, but cherished treasures for generations to come. 

When you receive your gallery you will be able to see what your images look like on all types of products. If you are a visual person, like myself, this will help you make the best choices! You can see what it will look like before any purchasing takes place.
