Maternity & Newborn Session Pricing

Main Line newborn photographer

The first days with your newborn are a blur of love, wonder, and sleepy snuggles. Time moves faster than it should, and before you know it, those tiny fingers and delicate yawns become cherished memories.

My passion is capturing these fleeting moments—the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, their first little expressions, the love that fills the room. These images aren’t just photographs; they are a gift to your future self and a timeless keepsake for your child. It’s always an honor to help families preserve these once-in-a-lifetime moments.  I have been documenting newborns in the greater Philadelphia, Chester County and Main Line area for over 10 years!

Whether you’re dreaming of cozy, intimate images in the comfort of your own home or beautifully styled portraits in my studio, I offer two options to suit your family’s needs. Each has its own unique advantages, ensuring we capture your little one’s first days in a way that feels just right for you.

Let’s explore the differences between studio and in-home newborn sessions so you can choose the perfect fit.

 
 

Newborn Session Options

Studio-Style Session

  • Posed, timeless portraits in my cozy home studio in West Chester, PA
  • Focus on capturing your baby’s delicate features and sweet expressions

In-home / Lifestyle Session

  • Natural, candid and (gently-guided posed) moments captured in the comfort of your own home
  • Authentic, everyday moments with your new baby and loved ones
 

 

STUDIO:

Timing-

Newborn sessions typically take place within the first 7-14 days of life, when your little one is still tiny and sleepy and ready to be posed.  If your baby is older, no sweat!  Email me and we can discuss options to capture beautiful memories at any age!

 

Session Length and Details-

Studio sessions can range from 45 minutes-2+ hours, depending on the package you choose. During this time, we’ll capture a variety of precious moments, and you’ll have access to:
 
~A wide range of props, hats, wraps, and backdrops
 
~Studio and natural lighting options
 
~Ample time for feedings, diaper changes, and soothing/snuggles

 

Family Involvement-

Siblings and parents are welcome to join in on the fun and be part of the photoshoot, regardless of the package you choose!

 

 
Before your session, I’ll send over a questionnaire to help us determine which session style is right for you. And don’t worry, you can always upgrade during the session or after reviewing your gallery.
All sessions are typically scheduled Monday through Friday, mid-morning.
