Colorado Springs Newborn Photography experience -

Those first days with your baby pass by in the blink of an eye. Tiny fingers and toes, sleepy stretches, soft newborn curls, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms—these precious details change so quickly.

My newborn sessions are designed to be a calm, relaxed experience for both baby and parents. Every session is baby-led, with your little one's comfort and safety as the top priority. In my Colorado Springs studio, I thoughtfully select wraps, textures, colors, and props to create timeless portraits that will be cherished for generations and never feel trendy or dated.

What's Included Every newborn session includes:

• A relaxed 2–3 hour studio experience (session length varies based on baby's needs)

• Access to a carefully curated collection of wraps, bonnets, outfits, headbands, and props

• Parent and sibling portraits

• Professional retouching of your selected images

• Digital images

• Custom artwork, wall art, and heirloom album options

When to book the ideal time to reserve your newborn session is during your second trimester. Newborn sessions are scheduled based on your due date, and I accept a limited number of newborns each month to ensure flexibility for early and late arrivals. If you are further along in your pregnancy—or if your baby has already arrived—please don't hesitate to reach out. Availability may still be open due to schedule changes or rescheduled sessions. I would love to learn more about your family and answer any questions you may have.

As a Certified Professional Photographer with over 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with many families whose little ones have had a more complicated start—especially NICU graduates and babies who require oxygen, feeding tubes, or other medical support. I understand the extra layer of care, sensitivity, and patience that these sessions require. Your baby’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I bring not only technical skill, but also compassion, flexibility, and a deep respect for your journey. Whether we're photographing your baby at home, in the studio, or even during a milestone after NICU graduation, I’m here to create beautiful, meaningful images while honoring your baby’s unique needs.
