they'll only be this little for a moment...
|
You’ve read all the books, decorated the nursery, and taken the classes. But nothing can truly prepare you for what it's like to finally hold your baby in your arms!
The truth is that newborn life is exhilarating and exhausting. You'll watch your baby change right before your eyes and wish you could slow down time so you can soak in every moment. |
|
You need beautiful photos that tell the story of this season, capture the emotion and the love you feel, and help you remember all the details of this fleeting moment in time...
Because one day, all you’ll have left to hold from this season is the photographs.
|
|
Here's the thing, though. There are dozens of newborn photographers who will take the beautiful photos that you're looking for...
But what you really want is someone who will also give you an unforgettable experience. You need someone who will invest in you as much as you invest in them, someone who will guide you through every step of the experience so that you can focus on what really matters: getting ready to welcome that sweet baby. |
|
... and that's where I come in!
|

"nicole captured all the photos i wanted... and the moments i didn't know how much my heart needed."
"Not only did she capture our sweet baby girl perfectly, but she also somehow managed to get perfect shots of my two older girls while I was feeding the baby! She even snapped some of the most perfect candid moments from across the room that I didn't even know I wanted, but that my heart needed."

so... what's included in the Newborn Session Experience?
I'm so glad you asked. :)
|
|
let's capture all the details that you never want to forget... |
|
picture the experience for yourself...
|
STEP 1: Before baby arrives
YAY for your baby on the way! It's never too early to start planning your newborn session, so let's schedule a time to chat and make sure we're a good fit! Once you're ready to book, we'll make things "officially official" and get your due date on my calendar! Then, you'll focus on getting ready for your baby, and I'll keep in touch along the way to help prepare you for your session so you'll know exactly what to expect! |
STEP 2: Your baby is here!
Once you've let me know that your baby is here (and texted me a pic of their sweet little face, of course!), we'll work on getting your session date scheduled! The day of your session, I'll arrive at your home, and we'll chat about your birth story while I set up my gear. Then, your only job will be to relax and soak in all the baby sweetness while I guide you and capture all the details you never want to forget! |
STEP 3: After your session
Get the tissues ready—it's time to relive the memories! From sneak peek to gallery delivery day, your photos will take you back to those first days with your little one. After you've had a chance to see all your photos in your online gallery, I'll get to work designing your custom album so that you can treasure your images, share their stories with your little ones as they grow up, and pass them down as family heirlooms! |
did you know?The best time to schedule your newborn photos is before the beginning of your 3rd trimester!
Most of my clients reach out to me when they are around 20-24 weeks pregnant, and I typically book out my calendar several months in advance! |
|
memories worth investing in
Your baby won't be this little forever, but quality lifestyle newborn photos will last a lifetime.
|
Your newborn photos will be more than just beautiful pictures—they'll be a precious memories of a fleeting season of your family's life.
I include a custom-designed albums with every newborn session because I believe that your memories deserve a special place in your home where you can relive the stories over and over again. These albums are handmade and designed to last for decades, which means that your memories will become treasured family heirlooms. |
I only take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month in order to provide the best possible experience for each of my clients and make sure I have time for my own family, so please don't wait to reach out! If your baby is due soon (or has just been born), send me an email ASAP!
"the best choice we made was hiring nicole for our newborn photos."
"I love how natural our photos look, and she made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera! All my friends with kids told me that they regretted not having newborn photos taken, and I'm so glad I took their advice! "
