Newborn Model Call | First-Time Parents Wanted!

Nov 11

Are you expecting your first baby or recently welcomed your little one? I'd love to hear from you!

I'm looking for a few first-time families to participate in complimentary newborn model sessions!

I'm currently looking for families for two different session styles:

In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session
Studio Whites Editorial Newborn Session

These sessions will help me create beautiful images for my portfolio and marketing while giving selected families the opportunity to receive professional newborn photos at no session cost.

Each family will receive 3 FREE professionally edited digital images, with the option to purchase additional images at special model pricing.

Dates available Nov 14, 15, 21 or 23rd, 2026

Option 1: In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session

Natural, relaxed, and personal.

I'll come to your home to photograph your family in your own space. This session focuses on the connection between you and your new baby, capturing genuine moments with a relaxed, editorial feel.

I'll use areas of your home, such as your bedroom, living room, or nursery, as the backdrop for your photos. I'll bring my own lighting, so you don't need to worry about having perfect natural light.

This session is ideal for families who:

Love natural, meaningful, and candid photography.
Have a home with neutral, light, or bright spaces.
Are comfortable having their home and family photographed.
Want to remember their baby's first days in their own home.

Location: Your home must be within 15 miles of my studio and be dog-free due to my allergies.

Option 2: Studio Whites Editorial Newborn Session

Simple, soft, and timeless.

This session takes place in my studio using my beautiful all-white editorial setup.

Rather than traditional newborn posing, we'll focus on natural interactions, gentle direction, and thoughtfully composed portraits.

Think sweet snuggles, tiny details, and beautiful family moments against a clean, white backdrop.

This session is ideal for families who:

Love light, simple, and timeless photography.
Prefer a clean, neutral setting.
Are comfortable with gentle posing and direction.
Want beautiful family portraits without preparing their home.

What's Included?

Both model sessions include:

Complimentary newborn session: A $50 refundable booking deposit is required to reserve your spot. This will be reimbursed when you are on time for your session, or when I arrive at your house and you are prepared for our session.
3 FREE professionally edited digital images: I'll select and edit three of my favorite images from your session as your complimentary photos.
Private Zoom image reveal: About one week after your session, we'll meet over Zoom so I can share a slideshow of everything we captured. Your three complimentary images will already be edited and ready to enjoy.
Optional additional images: If you fall in love with more photos, you'll have the opportunity to purchase additional images at special discounted pricing.
