Hey Mama! If you’re here, you’re probably expecting (congratulations!) or just welcomed your sweet baby into the world. Those first few weeks with your newborn are a beautiful, fleeting blur, and capturing this precious time with professional photography ensures you’ll always have those memories to look back on. As a North Jersey newborn photographer, I offer three options for capturing your baby’s first days—studio, in-home, and hospital (Fresh 48) sessions—so you can choose the experience that feels right for you.
I know how overwhelming life can feel when you’re adjusting to a new baby. The idea of coordinating a photoshoot might seem like just another task on an already full to-do list. But don’t worry—my goal is to make the experience effortless, whether you choose an in-studio, in-home, or hospital session. From guiding you on what to wear to handling all the little details, I take care of everything so you can simply relax and enjoy these special moments.
For parents who want a relaxed, polished, and stress-free experience, a studio newborn session is the perfect choice. My North Jersey studio, located in The Shoppes at Lafayette, is designed to be a cozy, welcoming space where you can simply arrive and enjoy the session while I take care of everything.
Studio sessions focus on natural posing, gentle swaddling, and capturing those delicate newborn details—tiny fingers, soft baby rolls, and sweet little yawns. You’ll walk away with heirloom-quality images that you’ll treasure forever.
If you love the idea of capturing your family in your own space, an in-home newborn session might be the perfect fit. These sessions take place in the comfort of your home, allowing for a more lifestyle-focused approach to newborn photography.
These sessions are ideal for capturing sweet, everyday moments—rocking your baby in the nursery, cozy cuddles on the couch, and the quiet joy of this new chapter at home.
There’s nothing quite like those first hours with your newborn—the tiny wrinkled fingers, the sleepy stretches, the way they fit so perfectly in your arms. A Fresh 48 session takes place in the hospital within the first day or two of your baby’s birth, capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments before you even head home.
These sessions are intimate, emotional, and filled with the magic of new life. They document the incredible beginning of your journey with your baby.
In today’s digital world, it’s easy for photos to get lost on a hard drive. That’s why I offer more than just digital images. When you book a newborn session with me, you’ll have the option to create stunning heirloom albums, fine art prints, and custom wall art—because these moments deserve a place in your home, not just on a screen.
Imagine flipping through a beautifully designed album with your child years from now, showing them how tiny they once were. Or having a framed print in your nursery that brings a smile to your face every time you walk by. These are the little things that turn your memories into tangible treasures.
Whether you envision a cozy in-home session, a polished studio experience, or a Fresh 48 hospital session, I’d love to be the one to capture these special moments for you. As the best north jersey newborn photographer , I’d be honored to document your family’s love and connection during this incredible time.
Let’s make this easy and beautiful—just the way it should be.
