Newborn

THE DETAILS

The first days with your baby move slowly and all at once, filled with quiet moments that pass far too quickly. This season is delicate, meaningful, and worthy of being remembered with care.

As a Utah newborn photographer, I create gentle, minimal newborn portraits that feel deeply personal. My approach is rooted in simplicity, allowing your baby’s natural features, softness, and expressions to remain the focus. No elaborate props or trendy setups—just clean, timeless imagery that honors your baby exactly as they are.

Newborn sessions take place in a calm studio setting, with an emphasis on natural posing, delicate details, and relaxed family connections. My goal is to preserve this season with newborn portraits in Utah that feel authentic, peaceful, and enduring.

Kamee made everything so easy and stress-free. From our planning call to our in-home newborn session, she was organized, professional, and incredibly sweet. She captured all the candid, heartfelt moments I’d been dreaming of—even including our pups! Every detail was handled with care, and the final gallery left me in tears.

THE PROCESS

the consultation

Our process begins with a simple inquiry through my website. Once I receive your details, I’ll invite you to a brief consultation call. This is an intentional space for us to connect, discuss your vision for the session, and ensure every detail is tailored to your family before we move forward.

An intentional approach to newborn photography in Utah, handled with care and sophistication from start to finish.

wardrobe & styling

We will meet for a private styling appointment to curate a look that feels effortless and timeless. You’ll have full access to my Client Closet, a high-end collection of garments curated for the entire family—fathers included. We’ll handle every detail of the wardrobe so you can arrive at your session feeling relaxed and prepared.

3.

securing your date

Because newborn sessions are ideally held within the first few weeks of life, I reserve a limited number of due dates each month to ensure every family receives my full attention. Your session is officially secured on my calendar once your booking proposal is completed, including a signed contract and session fee.

2.

the session

Once your little one arrives, we will finalize your exact session date. Your time in the studio is designed to be a calm, fully supported experience. You'll get your glam done and be completely taken care of.  From gentle posing to soothing your baby, I will guide every moment, allowing you to simply be present and enjoy the beauty of these first days.

Shortly after your session, we will meet to view your gallery for the first time. During this appointment, I will assist you in selecting your favorite images and designing bespoke artwork and digital collections. This ensures your portraits are transitioned from a screen into tangible heirlooms for your home.

Motherhood is a season of profound beauty, but it is also one of deep exhaustion. Taking care of a new baby is a monumental task, which is why my studio experience is designed specifically to take care of you.

My goal is to provide a seamless, full-service environment where you can truly be present. From professional hair and makeup to the curation of custom gowns and bespoke artwork, every detail is handled—allowing you to simply breathe and enjoy your new arrival.

It is never too early to begin the conversation. To ensure a seamless experience, most families reach out during their first or second trimester to secure dates for both maternity and newborn portraits. As a premier Utah newborn photographer, my calendar often fills months in advance; however, please reach out if your little one has already arrived, as we occasionally have a last-minute opening.

For your arrival at the studio, we recommend dressing your little one in a simple onesie—ideally one with a zipper rather than buttons to make the transition into styling as easy as possible. Our Utah newborn studio is fully curated with a selection of premium wraps, delicate knits, and dainty headpieces for your session. This minimalist approach ensures the focus remains entirely on your baby’s delicate features, creating portraits that stay timeless as your child grows.

Absolutely. We believe the most beautiful images are often those of you simply holding and connecting with your baby. A significant portion of your gallery will be family-focused, capturing these first moments together. If you are looking for a Utah newborn photographer who can seamlessly incorporate older siblings, we have a very relaxed and patient process to ensure they feel comfortable and included in the experience.

We generally set aside two to three hours for your newborn portraits. While the photography itself typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, we build in extra time to ensure the environment remains calm and unhurried. This allows for plenty of grace should your baby need an extra feeding, or if a sibling needs a little more time to feel comfortable in front of the camera. As an experienced Utah newborn photographer, I find that following the baby’s lead always results in the most beautiful, relaxed images.
