What to Expect at Your Newborn Session | Birmingham Newborn Photographer

Booking your newborn photography session in Birmingham AL is exciting, but I know it can also feel a little overwhelming when you’re in the middle of caring for a brand-new baby. That’s why I make my sessions simple, calm, and completely baby-focused, so that you can relax and enjoy the experience.

Before Your Session: We’ll talk through whether you’d like an at-home newborn session or a studio newborn session.

At home, you’ll have the comfort of your own space and all the little details that make it yours. (there is no need for your house to be perfect or perfectly cleaned - I know these first few weeks are tiring)

In the studio, you’ll have soft natural light, a simple white backdrop, and no need to tidy before I arrive.

I’ll also help you plan outfits, keeping them simple and timeless so your baby is the focus. We’ll go over what to expect in terms of timing, breaks, and how we’ll follow your baby’s lead.

During Your Session

Newborns set the pace (and that’s exactly how it should be). We’ll take breaks for feeding, changing, and snuggles whenever needed. I’ll guide you into comfortable, natural poses and capture the little moments in between: the way your baby curls into your arms, sleepy stretches, and those tiny details you don’t want to forget.

Sessions usually last 1-2 hours so there’s no rush. If siblings or grandparents are part of the session, we’ll plan moments for them to be included without it feeling chaotic.

After Your Session

Within a few weeks, you’ll receive an online gallery filled with your final edited images. You can download them, share them, and order prints directly from the gallery.

Whether you choose a home or studio setting, my goal is to make your newborn session in Birmingham AL feel natural, unhurried, and truly personal to your family. If you’ve been searching for a newborn photographer near me, I’d love to help you remember these first days exactly as they are.
