What to Expect During a Newborn Session with La Vie Photography

Welcoming a new baby into your family is one of the most profound and beautiful moments of your life. Capturing those first few weeks with your newborn is a way to freeze this fleeting time and create memories you can treasure forever. My goal is to make your newborn session feel as special, natural, and stress-free as possible. Here’s how I do it:

Relaxed: like a slow Sunday morning.

Imagine the peacefulness of a quiet Sunday morning—that’s the vibe I bring to every newborn session. There’s no rush, no rigid timelines, and no pressure for perfection. Babies operate on their own schedule, and that’s absolutely okay. We take our time, allowing for feedings, diaper changes, and soothing moments as needed. This isn’t about creating stiff, posed portraits; it’s about documenting the natural beauty of your growing family in an unhurried and authentic way.

Comfortable: at home with the people you love.

All sessions take place in your home. I want you to feel completely at ease, snuggled up with your baby and surrounded by the people who matter most. These sessions are about connection: the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms, the way siblings react to their new family member, and the love that radiates from your family. That comfort and love shine through in every photo.

Safe: baby-led posing, always.

Your baby’s safety is my top priority. I use baby-led posing, which means your little one is never forced into uncomfortable positions. Many of the images feature your baby in your arms or nestled safely on soft, supportive surfaces. I follow their cues and let them guide the session, ensuring their comfort and well-being come first. If your baby needs to pause for a feeding, diaper change, or cuddle, we’ll take that time without hesitation. Their needs are always front and center.

As a photographer, I focus on creating images that tell your story authentically. These aren’t just photos; they’re memories. I believe in capturing your family just as you are—the tiny details, the raw emotions, and the genuine love that makes your life beautiful. With a relaxed, comfortable, and safe environment, I strive to give you not only stunning photographs but also an experience you’ll cherish.

Your life is already beautiful; it’s my job to remind you of that. Let’s create something magical together.
