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.

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.
