Newborn Sessions
Halifax maternity and newborn photography
works
Having a newborn photo session is a wonderful way to capture the incredible joy of your baby’s earliest days. These photos become cherished keepsakes that document their tiny features, delicate expressions, and the profound love you feel as new parents.
Newborn sessions are typically held within two weeks of birth when babies are still small, flexible, and sleepy, although it can be later if necessary. Because my calendar fills several weeks ahead, I recommend booking during your second trimester to guarantee availability.
My comfortable home studio is located in Hammonds Plains on a private 2.5-acre lot with plenty of shade. Your session includes both indoor and outdoor images. We can also meet at your favourite beach, wildflower field, or family cottage. Wherever your memories live or are waiting to be made, I’ll meet you there.
In safe hands
Every movement is thoughtful and gentle—from soothing little tummies to settling tiny limbs—so your newborn is calm, comfortable, and cared for throughout the session.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Q's
When should I book?
To ensure availability—especially for coveted weekend dates—families are encouraged to book 1–2 months in advance. Maternity and newborn clients should aim to reserve their sessions during the second trimester to avoid stress and potential scheduling issues. While we occasionally have last-minute openings, advance booking is the best way to secure your preferred date.
What is the booking process?
Booking is simple. Just complete a short online agreement and I’ll send over the invoice for the session fee. Once both are submitted, your date is officially reserved.
Your session fee is $895 and includes everything you need for a seamless, full-service experience from start to finish.
It covers a pre-session phone (or in person) consultation where we’ll plan the details, the photography time itself, and an in-person reveal and ordering appointment where I’ll guide you through your images and help you choose your favourites.
The session fee also includes your choice of a $600 credit toward heirloom artwork or 10 beautifully edited digital files. *Tip: Most heirloom art includes matching digital files, so it’s the best of both worlds! Check out the Investment Guide here.
When will we receive our photos?
Your images will be lightly retouched and ready for your reveal and ordering appointment in about 10-14 days. Once you decide which images to order, I will meticulously retouch and deliver within about 2 weeks. Product delivery varies depending on the product.
What is a reveal and ordering appointment?
This is where the magic truly happens.
Your private reveal and ordering appointment is a thoughtfully guided experience designed to help you pause and reconnect with the moments we’ve captured. Seeing your images for the first time on a large projection screen brings the emotion forward in a way that feels immersive, meaningful, and personal.
Together, we’ll thoughtfully curate your favourite images and explore how your memories can live on, from refined digital collections to heirloom artwork and albums. You’ll be able to see, touch, and compare samples, consider sizes and finishes with guidance, and place your order during the appointment. The result is a relaxed, elevated experience where decisions feel easy, enjoyable, and completely off your to-do list.
How do I install and care for my art?
Good news: If you order multiple pieces of wall art, I will deliver and install it for you! If you are going the DIY route, choosing a hanging space under softer artificial light or bounce light, out of the direct rays of the sun.
