In-home Newborn Photography
These first days with your baby can feel both beautiful and overwhelming all at once.
My newborn sessions are designed to slow things down and preserve what this season truly feels like — the connection, the tenderness, and the quiet moments in between.
No pressure for your baby to sleep.
No stiff posing.
No perfectly curated home required.
Just your family exactly as you are right now.
Relaxed newborn photography focused on connection, not perfection.
Your session is designed to feel simple and stress-free from beginning to end.
We’ll move at a relaxed pace with plenty of time for feeding, changing, soothing, and breaks whenever needed. There’s no strict timeline and no expectation for your baby to “perform” a certain way.
Some of the most meaningful moments happen in the in-between.

Your home
You do not need a perfectly styled home or picture-perfect nursery.
I’ll use natural light and simple spaces throughout your home to create timeless, meaningful images for your family. Most of the time, all I need is a window and a little space nearby.
The focus is never on perfection.
It’s on connection.
Your Home Is Enough

When should we book?
Most families book during the second trimester to guarantee availability, but last-minute inquiries are always welcome if I have space.
When do newborn sessions take place?
Typically within the first few weeks after baby arrives, but there is flexibility depending on your recovery and what feels best for your family.
What if the baby cries or won’t sleep?
That’s completely normal. Your session is baby-led, and we’ll pause anytime your baby needs comfort, feeding, or snuggles.
What should we wear?
Soft, neutral tones and comfortable clothing photograph beautifully. I’ll send a style guide after booking to make planning easy.
Can siblings be included?
Absolutely. Siblings are always welcome, and sessions are designed with flexibility and patience for little ones.
What if my baby comes early or arrives after my due date?
That’s completely okay. Newborn sessions are scheduled with flexibility in mind, and I only book a limited number each month to allow room for early or late arrivals. Once baby is here, we’ll finalize your session date together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Shyla was absolutely amazing! She was professional, took her time with edits, and was flexible with my 4 month olds schedule and adjusted our session time to meet his feeding schedule. We met with her to look at all our photos and choose what we wanted. We also ordered a BEAUTIFUL album with all our photos we picked. She also listened to all my ideas I had and captured the exact photos I wanted.
Would HIGHLY recommend her for your family/childhood photos!!
