NEWBORN SESSION WITH MOMS & BABIES
Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby’s First Photography Experience
NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY
At Moms & Babies, we specialize in capturing the tiniest moments with the greatest care. Every session is designed with comfort, safety, and timeless beauty in mind.
Newborn photography is one of the most delicate and meaningful forms of storytelling. At Moms and Babies, we specialize in capturing those fleeting first days of life, when everything is tiny, soft, and filled with wonder.
Each newborn session is guided by gentleness, patience, and safety. With a deep understanding of baby cues and needs, we create a calm and cozy environment where your little one feels secure, and you, as parents, feel at ease.
From carefully chosen swaddles to soft, natural lighting, every detail is thoughtfully planned to highlight the quiet beauty of your baby’s earliest moments. Whether it’s a tiny yawn, a curled-up hand, or a peaceful sleeping pose, our goal is to preserve these memories exactly as they are pure, tender, and full of love. Because babies grow faster than we imagine, and photographs are the only way to return to these days.
Newborn photography isn’t just about pictures. It’s about pausing time beautifully.
When Is the Best Time for a Newborn Session — and Why?
The best time for a newborn photography session is within the first 7 to 14 days after birth. During this special window, babies are usually very sleepy, naturally curled up, and easier to pose safely in those peaceful, womb-like positions. Their skin is often clearer, and they tend to settle more easily, which helps us create those calm, dreamy portraits you love.
If you can’t schedule during those two weeks, don’t worry! We recommend booking your session before your baby is 4 weeks old. Beyond 2 weeks, babies start to stretch, become more alert, and may develop common newborn skin changes or fussiness. But up to 4 weeks, we can still do beautiful photos—although the style might be a bit more natural and less posed.
We understand that sometimes life gets busy, and scheduling within the newborn window isn’t possible. If your baby is older than 4 weeks, that’s totally okay!
At this stage, typical newborn poses may not be comfortable or safe, but we can capture stunning portraits focusing on your baby’s expressions, eye contact, cuddles with parents, and everyday natural moments. These sessions feel more like “new baby” lifestyle sessions but are just as special and memorable.
If you miss the newborn window, consider milestone sessions like the 3-month session or 100-day shoot, where babies are more awake and interactive. These are wonderful opportunities to document your baby’s growing personality and milestones.

Everything You Need to Know About Your At-Home Newborn Photography Experience
We offer a range of newborn photography packages to suit different needs and budgets. Here’s a breakdown of what each collection includes:
- Mini Collection – Our Mini Session is a budget-friendly, quick newborn shoot designed exclusively to capture beautiful images of your baby only. This session is strictly limited to baby portraits—parent or family photos are not included under any circumstances. If you decide you want parent or family portraits during the shoot, the session will be upgraded automatically to the Signature Collection to ensure the best quality and experience. The Mini Session includes 10 professionally edited digital images, limited outfits and props, and a shorter session time. It’s ideal for parents looking for an affordable way to preserve a few precious moments without a longer commitment.
- Signature Collection – The Signature Collection is our most popular and versatile package. Offering more edited images and the option to include parent portraits alongside baby images, this session takes place in our professional M & B Studio. It’s available in a digital-only format or with premium printed products and additional edits in the Gold, Platinum and VIP versions. This package provides a rich, creative experience that captures your newborn’s story in detail.
VIP Collection – For families seeking the utmost comfort and personalized experience, the VIP Collection brings everything from the Signature Collection directly to your home. We provide a full professional setup with lighting, props, and styling — all designed for a relaxed, intimate session without the need to travel. This premium package is perfect for parents who want the convenience and warmth of a home environment alongside the highest level of service and care. Hospital visits can also be arranged upon request for early sessions right after birth.
While the Mini Collection focuses on baby-only sessions, our Signature and VIP Collections are designed to capture the full family experience.
With four thoughtfully crafted package tiers—Digital, Gold, Platinum, and Premium— these collections offer varying levels of coverage, keepsakes, and personalized touches, whether in-studio, at home, or in the hospital. You can also customize your collection with options from our à la carte add-ons.
