What to Expect at Your Newborn Session (Treasured Memories​ Package)

Welcoming your newborn is one of life’s most precious moments, and capturing those early days is something you’ll treasure forever. My Treasured Memories Package is designed exclusively for your baby, making the experience simple, calm, and stress-free for new parents. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you feel prepared and know exactly what to expect.

Step 1: Arriving at the Studio to You Newborn Session

When you arrive, the studio will already be prepared with a warm, cozy environment perfect for your little one. I use soft lighting, gentle music, and carefully sanitized props to keep your baby comfortable and safe.

Step 2: Wrapping and Comforting

Your baby will be swaddled in soft, breathable wraps. Most newborns love the snug feeling—it helps them stay calm and relaxed during the session. Even if your baby doesn’t fall asleep, we can capture beautiful, peaceful images.

Step 3: Different Themes and Props

This package includes 3–4 themes with different outfits and photo zones. I’ll gently move your baby between safe, cozy props such as baskets, beds, or textured blankets, creating a variety of unique looks in a single session.

Step 4: Close-Up Portraits

One of the sweetest parts of the session is capturing close-up portraits of your baby’s delicate features—tiny hands, lips, and peaceful expressions. These photos highlight the innocence of these first days.

Step 5: Cozy Lifestyle-Inspired Poses

We’ll also create soft, cozy poses using neutral tones and textures. These timeless setups work beautifully for wall art or albums that you’ll cherish for years.

Step 6: Nautical-Inspired Boat Setup

One of the most popular themes is the nautical boat setup, perfect for parents who love ocean-inspired designs. Your little one is gently placed in a soft, cushioned boat prop, surrounded by starfish and calming blue tones. This dreamy seaside look adds a touch of whimsy and makes for unforgettable portraits.

Step 7: Final Gallery & Choosing Your Favorites

After the session, you’ll receive a gallery of unedited images. Simply “like” the ones you love, and I will carefully retouch your chosen 10 professionally edited images. Additional edits can be purchased if you’d like to keep more of your favorites.

✨ The Treasured Memories Package is all about capturing your baby’s first days in a way that feels calm, stress-free, and memorable. Whether your baby is asleep or quietly awake, the result will be timeless portraits you’ll treasure forever.
