There is something magical about the first few weeks at home with your baby. They are so fresh and new, their tiny movements a reminder of the life they carried inside you just days ago. These fleeting moments deserve to be preserved with beautiful, heartfelt portraits.
Every newborn session is designed to capture the love and connection between your family and your little one. Whether you choose a cozy in-home session or a softly styled studio session, each experience is relaxed, natural, and centered around your baby. Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first 2-3 weeks after birth, so be sure to reserve your session during your second trimester.
I offer two types of newborn sessions—studio and lifestyle—so you can choose the setting that best fits your vision for these once-in-a-lifetime memories.
For a more traditional newborn session, my boutique studio in Saratoga Springs, NY, provides the perfect setting. Thoughtfully designed with soft, neutral colors, organic textures, and carefully selected props, the space allows for stunning, timeless images.
Your session will include 3-4 unique setups, incorporating family portraits, sibling portraits, and beautiful individual images of your baby. We take a relaxed and baby-led approach, allowing plenty of time for feedings, snuggles, and soothing to keep your little one comfortable throughout the session.
Studio newborn sessions typically last 2-3 hours and provide a serene, controlled environment ideal for capturing those sweet, curled-up poses that everyone adores.

Lifestyle newborn sessions offer a relaxed, documentary-style approach, capturing your family's genuine love and connection in your home. These sessions focus on natural interactions, highlighting the tiny details of your baby and the warmth of your family's embrace.
During our 1.5-2 hour session, I'll gently guide you through moments of cuddles, kisses, and quiet togetherness. With natural light streaming through your windows, we’ll create timeless portraits of your baby in their nursery, snuggled in your arms, and surrounded by the love that fills your home.
These sessions are perfect if you want to document your baby’s first days in a meaningful, personal way, embracing the beauty of real, unscripted moments.

As a new mother, I really wanted to do a newborn photo shoot, but was nervous/anxious about how to go about scheduling one. Nicole was extremely responsive, answered all of my questions, walked me through the process and pricing, and found availability quickly. She captured adorable photos of our tiny family, was a true baby whisperer, and then took the time to come to our house to go through the pictures and finalize the order to make things very convenient for us. Her professionalism, attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to calm a baby are unmatched. We'll be going back for years to come!

Nicole was lovely to work with for our newborn photo session of our daughter. She was so sweet with her and really took the time to get some beautiful portraits. I appreciated her level of communication at every step of the process.
