The newborn stage is fleeting. Those tiny fingers, squishy cheeks, and sleepy snuggles are gone in what feels like a blink. These first days can be a blur, which is exactly why preserving them is so priceless. Long after the newborn haze has lifted, your photos will be the proof of how little they once were.
Newborn photography isn’t just about snapping cute pictures. It requires experience, patience, and a gentle touch. With years of working exclusively with babies, I know how to safely soothe, pose, and handle your little one. Every session is baby-led, which means I’ll never force a pose or allow your baby to be uncomfortable. Their safety and comfort will always come before the photo.
As a newborn photographer located in Bottineau, North Dakota, I aim to provide a stress free experience. When you book with me, I try to make it so you don't need to worry about a thing. The biggest decision you'll have to make is color choices (and if you want to leave that up to me, that works too!). I provide everything: soft, knitted wraps, handmade outfits, delicate headbands, and carefully chosen props; each piece designed specifically for newborn photography. They’re soft, safe, and perfectly sized to flatter the tiniest of details. I typically recommend not bringing outside props or outfits, unless it’s something deeply sentimental, like a family heirloom or a special gift.
Choosing a newborn photographer can feel overwhelming with so many different styles out there. I believe in a style that’s soft, clean, and timeless: natural tones, delicate details, and editing that stays true to life. Every image is crafted with the intention of looking just as beautiful on your walls twenty years from now as it does today.
While I recommend that older siblings jet off with dad, grandparents, or another family member after the family portion of the session, I am more than understanding if that just isn't a possibility. I have a separate seating area away from the newborn posing with a toy box, tv, and wifi.
Newborn sessions take place in my private, in home studio located in Bottineau, ND: a quiet, cozy space designed specifically for newborn photography.
Everything to create beautiful images is right here in my studio, When you arrive, everything will already be set up and ready to go. You can opt to sit on the couch & watch the posing unfold, or sit by the television area and relax, enjoy the complimentary wifi & snacks!
