Newborn Sessions
Let's capture the magic where it's made each day
Life is crazy those first few weeks, so newborn sessions are a fun way to slow down and soak in all the newness. Let's get YOU in the photos too! My focus is on natural connections with your sweet little babe, and all the new love that comes between family members.
Lighthearted and relaxed newborn photography for Maryland and DC families.
Honest connections with the whole family
Natural newborn posing
Newborn sessions take place within the first 12 weeks, with 1-2 weeks being ideal if you love sleepy photos. They include the whole immediate family, including pets. When siblings are involved, there's a focus on them as well. ;)
Newborn sessions are all about the details of your new baby and the authentic connections within the family. You can expect sweet solo images of your baby, but also plenty snuggled up in your arms, the way you'll want to remember these fleeting days (and where your baby wants to be).
Kind Words
She was everything we were looking for in a newborn photographer: communicative, quick turnaround, flexible, kind, and wickedly talented! She captured our first born and family perfectly, and she made this freshly post-partum mom feel beautiful

Kim went above & beyond to make us feel comfortable and natural. My husband (who is not a picture person) was amazed by how easy going and relaxed the shoot was!
— Laura D, Essex Maryland
She embraced the multiple dogs in our house and really went with the flow. I love that she incorporated the shots and personal items that we love, but also brought her expertise to suggest things that photograph best.

LET's CHAT

Tell me all about your family and I'll write back within a few hours or less!
I book your due date as a floating space on my calendar and we set the firm date once you deliver. Please note that Newborn sessions are always booked on weekdays around 9:30/10am
How do I book when I don't know my due date?
I LOVE in-home newborn photography. I have owned and operated 6 different studios in my 16+ year career throughout the Baltimore area, but in 2018 I fell in love with in-home newborn and family photography. However, I DO now have a small studio opening this May 2024 - located in Pikesville. The all white natural light studio is perfect for maternity sessions or families with just one baby. Families with toddlers often do best in their own home where they feel more in their own element.
Do you have a Newborn photography studio?
If you like the naturally sleepy curly images you see in my portfolio, the best time to book is before baby arrives so I can guarantee a spot in my calendar. With that being said, I try to hold space for last minute bookings and photograph newborns beautifully at any age.
When should I book my Newborn Session?
I know you're insanely excited to see what we captured together, and I can't wait for you to see them too! I have a fairly fast turn around, so you can expect to see your images within 10 short days of your session.
When will I receive my newborn photos?
I use props very minimally, outside of soft wraps and blankets to pose baby on for solo shots. When I arrive, I will have my cameras, and a bag with fabrics and blankets. I may also have a little moses basket for posing and supplemental lighting in case we need it. I do this with purpose as I want to make sure we spend time capturing real connections and expressions. Using very little distractions from your perfect little baby.
DO you use props in your newborn sessions?
I don't watch a clock because we move on baby's time, but you can expect a natural flow of 1-2.5 hours. We take as many breaks for changes and feeding as needed and you'll see, there's a natural end. Never rushed and always relaxed.
How long are newborn sessions?
I have photographed families in all types of homes. From a single room in a tiny apartment, to sprawling mansions that were immaculately decorated. I can tell you it 100% does NOT matter. What matters is the light and love, and I guarantee you have both.
We can use as much or as little of your home as you'd like. If you have great decor, awesome, we can include tiny bits. Nothing at all on the walls because you just moved in? Great! We have lots of white backgrounds and simplicity!
Truth be told, we spend a lot of time near windows and I will guide you before the session as what to expect. No need to fully clean or prep, it's a lot easier than you think.
I live in a small Baltimore City home - What if it's too small, not decorated? Or too Dark?
