Newborn Photography // Nevada County

Do you style newborns?

I do not, but I will capture them sleeping in a bassinet. I offer a “babies in arms” or “lifestyle” approach to photographing newborns in their homes. I want everyone to take turns snuggling the new baby. My hope is that the photos look as honest and realistic as possible, just a little more polished.

How old should my baby be for newborn photos?

Ideally, your baby should be between 7 and 14 days old—but if you are past that window, don’t worry! Your baby is still worth documenting.

What is your rate and what is included?

My rate for newborn photography is $650 for up to 90 minutes of photography. The price includes an online gallery and all of the finished, high resolution images via download. Please inquire for travel fees outside of Nevada County.

Why so much?

I want you to have a great experience and I want to create a lot of photos you will love. This takes time. Newborns are unpredictable and 90 minutes gives us plenty of time to take photos in between feedings and capture baby both sleeping and awake, and generally makes for a more relaxed session. If this feels out of reach, we can wait until your baby is a little sturdier (5-6 months old) and we can do a 30 minute mini session.

How many photos will I get?

It usually works out to 150-200 images, often more.

How do you deliver the final images?

I will send you a private link to your own customized online gallery, that contains all of the edited, high resolution photos. From there, you can download all of the photos at no additional cost. Feel free to also share the gallery link with friends & family.

How do I book?

Fill out my contact form and I will get back to you within 24 hours. Take note of what time the rooms in your home get the best light—as in light streaming through the windows. I will turn off all overhead lights before our session.
