newborn sessions
As a mama, I know how precious and fleeting those first few weeks are—the tiny yawns, finger dimples, fuzzy skin, and sleepy snuggles. Being able to remember these sweet details and emotions has meant so much to me, and I would love to help you preserve these special moments forever. It would be my absolute delight to photograph your family with your tiny new addition!
Hi! I'm Aly, and I'm so thankful and excited that you're considering me to be your newborn photographer!
My goal is to create a relaxed and enjoyable experience, allowing you to focus on your baby while I document this beautiful season in a way that feels natural, warm, and timeless. As a mom of little boys and a former classroom teacher of 11 years, I seek to gently guide your family while letting special moments unfold organically.
What Makes My Newborn Sessions Special?
- The whole family together, celebrating your new arrival.
- Sibling photos, capturing the special bond between baby and their brothers or sisters.
- Baby alone and with each parent, cherishing those early snuggles.
- Lifestyle images, highlighting the love and connection in your home.
I’ll guide you throughout the session, but your genuine expressions and interactions are what make these photos so special. Snuggle close, give kisses, and soak in the moment—I’ll take care of the rest!
Before your session, you'll receive a detailed Preparation Guide with tips on what to wear and how to prepare your home, ensuring we make the most of our time together.
What to Expect During Your Session
Most newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home, where you and your baby feel most at ease. I’ll use the prettiest natural light in your space to create soft, beautiful images.
If you’d prefer an outdoor newborn session, I offer beautiful location options across Northern New Jersey (Morris, Warren, Hunterdon, and Sussex Counties). We can discuss your vision and find the perfect setting!
where will the session take place?
- For the sleepiest, snuggliest newborn photos, I recommend scheduling within the first 1-3 weeks of life.
- Newborn sessions can also be done up to 10 weeks old, allowing for more alert expressions and connection.
When Should the Session Take Place?
Lifestyle newborn sessions typically last between 60 and 90 minutes, but I understand that babies have their own schedules! Breaks for feeding, changing, swaddling, or soothing are completely expected and welcome.
If you have toddlers or older siblings, I encourage you to relax and let them be themselves—I only need a few moments to capture beautiful images, and I’ll take the lead in gently guiding them into the frame.
How Long Will the Session Last?
What Will Your Final Gallery Include?
I'll select the very best images from your session to create a gallery of at least 50 edited photos for you to download and print at your leisure.
