As a CT Newborn Photographer, I know how exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) it can be to plan for your baby’s very first photo session. Whether you’re a first-time parent or adding another little love to your growing family, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about newborn photography in Connecticut—from when to book to how to prepare.
When to Book Your Newborn Session The best time to book your newborn session is during your second trimester. I only take a limited number of newborns each month to ensure flexibility around due dates, so early booking guarantees your spot on my calendar. Sessions are typically scheduled within the first 3 weeks after birth for those sweet, sleepy poses.
What to Expect During the Session Newborn sessions usually last 2-3 hours and are baby-led, meaning we follow your baby’s cues and comfort. My studio is warm and cozy to help your little one stay content. I offer a full collection of props, wraps, and accessories, so you don’t have to bring a thing unless you have a sentimental item you’d like to include.
How to Prepare Keep baby awake for 30-60 minutes before the session and give a full feeding right before you leave (or once you arrive). Dress baby in something easy to remove, and don’t stress—I’ll guide you through everything! Also, look over my blog post on how to prepare for your newborn photography session
What to Wear as Parents/Siblings Stick to soft neutrals and simple textures. Avoid logos or bright patterns. I’m happy to offer styling tips or coordinate looks for family shots.
Choosing the Right Photographer Look for someone whose style matches yours and who is trained in newborn safety and posing. Experience, reviews, and personality matter—this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment!

Each session is personalized to your taste, and I take care of everything from setup to final delivery. Whether you want timeless portraits, creative themes, or heirloom keepsakes, I’m here to bring your vision to life.
