"What Should I Look for When Hiring a Newborn Photographer?"

When searching for a newborn photographer, safety should always be the top priority. Newborn photography requires specialized training, hands-on experience, and an understanding of how to safely pose and soothe babies.

When inquiring with a photographer, it's okay to ask about their newborn safety training and experience working with newborns. A professional newborn photographer should consider your baby's safety and well-being first! 

At my Greensboro newborn photography studio, I’ve completed multiple newborn safety trainings and have years of hands-on experience working with newborns and their families. Safety is ALWAYS first, and sessions are never rushed and always move at your baby’s pace, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and breaks when needed. My  goal is for you to feel confident that your baby is in good hands and that you can relax while I take care of the rest.

"What Happens During a Newborn Photography Session?"

A newborn photography session is designed to be calm, comfortable, and baby-led. I create a warm, quiet environment where your baby can relax while I guide you through the entire process.

Parents and siblings are welcome to be included in the session. I provide gentle direction for posing so you never have to worry about what to do or how to stand. Everything is kept natural and simple.

For the best results, newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are sleepiest and most comfortable being posed. Many parents book their session during pregnancy so availability is secured and one less decision needs to be made after the baby arrives. I schedule sessions based on your due date and adjust as needed once your baby is born.

"Do I Need to Bring Anything to a Newborn Photography Session?"

This is one of the biggest concerns for new parents, and the answer is simple.

No. You don’t need to bring anything.

All wraps, outfits, props, and backdrops are provided for your baby in the studio. This allows you to arrive without worrying about shopping or planning during an already busy time.

If you have a sentimental item, such as a handmade blanket or special keepsake, I’m happy to style a setup around it. Otherwise, everything you need is already prepared for you.

"When Will I Receive My Newborn Photos?"

Your professionally edited newborn photos will be ready within 2–3 weeks after your session.

More importantly, you won't be left wondering what to do with them.

I offer both digital images and printed products. After your session, I help guide you through choosing how to enjoy your photos, whether that’s wall art, albums, or keepsakes for family members. This ensures your images don’t just live on a hard drive, but become part of your home and your child’s story.

"How Much Does Newborn Photography Cost?"

This is usually the hardest question to ask, and I believe it deserves a clear, honest answer.

Newborn photography pricing is an important consideration for most families. Rather than offering pre-set packages, I use a Create A Collection system so you can choose the products that fit your home and budget. Products start at $250 and are priced based on size and type. For example, a smaller piece of wall art costs less than a larger statement piece.

Before your session, we discuss your goals and budget and what you want to do with your photos. There are no surprises and no pressure to purchase anything you don’t want. My role is to help you choose pieces that feel meaningful and practical.

Newborn photography is a specialized service that involves professional training, time, and high-quality equipment. My focus is on providing timeless images and heirloom products that families can enjoy for years to come.

"Is Newborn Photography Worth It?"

Newborn photography isn't about being extra or indulgent. Many parents choose newborn photography because it captures a moment that can never be recreated. The newborn stage is brief, and professional photos allow you to remember the details long after this season has passed.

Printed photos and albums become part of your family’s story, something your child can one day see and hold, and one day you can pass down to them.  For many families, this makes newborn photography a meaningful investment rather than an extra expense.
