Why Newborn Photography Is Worth It

(and Why You Won’t Regret It)

They’re Only This Little Once
It might sound cliché, but it’s true—those newborn days fly by. One minute you’re running on two hours of sleep, the next you’re researching daycare options. That tiny, sleepy, curled-up stage? It’s gone in a flash. A newborn session lets you hit pause and remember those fleeting details. I’ve never had a client regret doing it—but I’ve heard plenty say they wish they’d done it sooner.

Your Phone Pics Are Cute… But Not the Same
Sure, phone photos are great for everyday stuff. But professional photos bring something different—beautiful lighting, soft props, and the ability to highlight all the tiny details you might miss: the little back wrinkles, fuzzy shoulders, and long wisps of hair on their ears. It's all about showing off just how small and new they really are.

You Deserve to Be in the Frame Too
Let’s be real—how many photos do you have with your baby in those early weeks? And if you are in them, you probably didn’t feel your best. A newborn session includes you, too. It captures the love, connection, and tenderness of this new chapter. I even offer hair and makeup add-ons so you can feel more confident in front of the camera. One day, your child will see those photos and know just how deeply they were loved.

It’s More Than a Photo Session
This isn’t just a shoot—it’s an experience. From the quiet atmosphere to the way your baby is gently posed, every part of the session is designed to be easy and meaningful. And the albums I offer? They’re made to last, ready to be passed down to your child when they’re older.

You Won’t Regret It
Yes, it’s an investment—but out of all the things you’ll spend money on during this season, this is one you’ll treasure forever. If you’re even thinking about booking a session, do it. Future you will be so glad you did.

Just look at this family below. I’ve gotten to photograph their newborn’s first photos for both of their babies.
