Newborn Sessions

 

Preserve the tiniest details of your baby's newborn stage with Precious Encounters Photography.

 

As a new parent, you face a whirlwind of emotions and responsibilities, and amidst the joy of welcoming your little one, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Newborns change rapidly, and those first few weeks are filled with tiny details that you’ll want to remember. Our newborn portraits capture every precious aspect, from those adorable cheeks and tiny toes to the delicate hands and fleeting dreamy smiles.

 

As a parent, you want to hold onto every precious memory of your child’s early days. Our professional photography creates beautiful keepsakes that you can look back on for years to come, allowing you to relive those special moments.

 

We understand that the transition to parenthood can be challenging. Our sessions are designed to be relaxed and enjoyable, ensuring that both you and your baby are comfortable. We take care of the details so you can focus on enjoying the experience.
With our experience in newborn photography, we know how to capture your baby in the best light and pose them safely. You can trust that your little one is in good hands while we create stunning images.

 

Every family is unique, and we tailor each session to fit your specific needs and preferences. Our goal is to create not just photos, but art that you’ll want to display in your home. Imagine the joy of showcasing your newborn’s portraits in your living space, creating a warm and loving environment that celebrates your family.

 

Choosing to get newborn portraits with us is more than just a photoshoot; it’s about fulfilling your need to capture, celebrate, and remember the incredible journey of parenthood. Let’s work together to create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

Newborn sessions are completed in studio at 8-20 days old, as this is their sleepiest most flexible/moldable stage for creative prop shots and posing. We do photograph babies up to 8 weeks old for newborn portraits.

 

Our studios are stocked with a wide array of props, wraps, bows, bonnets, and more that will exceed your expectations! We have thought of everything, so all you need to do is bring your baby and relax during the session.

"Had a wonderful experience working with Michelle yesterday. She handled our newborn son so gracefully and took the most beautiful pictures that we will treasure for a lifetime. Michelle has such a warm personality and I love the fact that things never felt rushed and we were able to go on our “newborns time”. Totally worth the time and the price. You can tell when someone genuinely loves what they do and for me Michelle displays so well. Highly recommend!"

Frequently asked questions

When should I get on your expectant mother calendar?

It is recommended you book at the beginning of your third trimester, or as early as you feel comfortable. Our schedule only accommodates 5-7 due dates a month.

 

Your session will take place when baby is 8-20 days old. This gives mom and baby time to settle into a routine and recovery from delivery.

How long is a newborn session?

We work strictly on baby time. Which means if baby needs more snuggles, feeding and settling during our session time, we stop and allow for this. Sessions will last anywhere from 2-4 hours and sometimes longer if baby needs it.

How many images will I get to choose from?

You will have a proofed gallery of roughly 30-80 images. This number all depends on baby and what all parents are wanting out of their session time with us. Some opt for only baby and others want to include siblings and parents. We do also love incorporating your fur babies!

Do I need to bring anything to my session?

Other than the usual baby essentials like milk, diapers and a pacifier we supply everything else! Our studio is equipped with all the props, outfits, wraps, headbands, hats and backgrounds we will need to create memorable portraits for you and your family.
