We'll bring along studio lighting, space heater, blankets, knit wraps and accessories to set up a "studio" in your bedroom. We can use a bare wall as a seamless backdrop for intimate family portraits, and/or incorporate meaningful settings within your home for added variety. Especially perfect for clients with sweet little nurseries that are camera ready.

EDITING

EDITING

Your portrait session is only the start of creating your custom artwork. We carefully curate the best images from your session based on lighting, background, focus, pose, facial expressions, and overall appeal. One week after your session, you'll select your favorite images for editing. We pride ourselves on providing finished works of art. Unedited images are not provided. You are always welcome to order additional digital portraits from your proofing gallery.

Once you've finalized your favorites, we will artistically enhance each image in our signature style. As you’ll see in our Before & After Gallery, each image is tastefully edited into a unique work of art. For every minute we spend together, we spend hundreds more behind the scenes to make your final photos and overall experience truly exceptional.

LUXURY PHOTOSHOOT EXPERIENCE

photographing newborns

With over a decade of expertise in capturing the delicate beauty of your baby’s earliest days, we specialize in creating a soothing environment for your newborn photoshoot. Every pose is based on proven, newborn-safe techniques designed to protect your baby's head, neck, spine, and limbs. Your baby's comfort is always our priority. We also believe in empowering parents with knowledge about the importance of proper support and positioning throughout the session. For further guidance, we encourage you to visit Newborn Photographers International for information on newborn safety standards in professional photography. When choosing a newborn photographer, we strongly recommend prioritizing experience and professional training to ensure a safe and memorable session.

our utmost priority

NEWBORN COMFORT & SAFETY

Whether you prefer to capture your newborn photography in our Manhattan studio or the comfort of your home, safety and comfort are always the utmost priority. We use hypoallergenic blankets and baby-safe accessories that are sanitized after each session to ensure a clean, hygienic environment. We have a portable heater and calming white noise machine to help soothe your newborn into a deep sleep. Our specialized lighting setup features a low-power flash that is softer than natural daylight and non-disruptive for your baby. These are just some of the proven techniques we’ve perfected over the years to provide a secure, peaceful setting for your infant. Once your little one is resting comfortably, we focus on capturing timeless, high-quality newborn portraits that you’ll cherish forever.

your digital portraits

All Portrait Sessions include a select number of artistically edited images in high resolution. As professional newborn photographers , we take great pride in our craft. We do not release RAW unedited images, since they are not a finished product. You're always welcome to purchase additional digital portraits to download, share and print to your heart's content!

Our photos showcase the sweet angelic features, adorable facial expressions, and tiny nuances of your little one. We'll also capture some intimate family portraits to celebrate your new addition. Newborn portrait sessions aren't just about photos – they're about capturing the love, connection, and tiny details of your baby's first days. We look forward to creating one-of-a-kind works of art for your growing family!

Thick, lay-flat pages are finished with rounded corners to create a seamless look that will stand the test of time. Covers are vibrant and durable, printed on polished, high-gloss aluminum. Each Album is created with the same love and attention to detail that goes into the newborn and maternity photos that we create.

We meticulously remove any distractions, such as blemishes, flyaway hairs, and background imperfections, so the focus remains on the emotions that define this special chapter. Our attention to detail ensures your maternity and newborn photos are timeless and effortlessly flawless.
