The newborn experience
For the details that change almost overnight.
Your first days home with a newborn weren't meant to be spent packing diaper bags, loading the car, and worrying about getting everyone to a photography studio on time.
So I bring the studio to you.
I arrive with the wraps, posing equipment, carefully selected props and wardrobe pieces needed to create beautiful, thoughtfully styled newborn portraits right in your home. We move at your baby's pace, leaving plenty of room for feeding, soothing, snuggling, and everything else a brand-new baby may need.
Choose the experience that feels right for your family.
Petite - $375
A little collection for the littlest details.
Designed for families who primarily want beautiful portraits of their new baby without the length of a full newborn experience.
60-90 minutes · baby only · wrapped-focused posing · 2 thoughtfully styled setups · 10 edited digital images
Petite sessions keep things intentionally simple and focus entirely on your newborn. Parent and sibling portraits are not included in this session.
signature - $575
The complete Dearly Held newborn experience.
This is the experience I recommend for most families. Signature gives us time to photograph your baby beautifully while also preserving the first photographs of your family together.
Up to 4 hours · baby + parents + siblings · multiple setups · wraps & carefully selected props · client closet access · 30+ digital images
There is no rush if baby needs to eat, settle, or simply spend a little time in your arms. Your session is intentionally spacious so we can follow baby's cues while creating a complete gallery of this chapter.
heirloom - $795
Because some photographs deserve to live somewhere other than your phone.
Heirloom includes the complete signature experience, your full curated gallery, and a handcrafted album designed to become part of your family's story.
up to 4 hours · baby + parents + siblings · multiple setups · wraps, props & client closet · full curated digital gallery · 8x8 heirloom album
The result is both a beautiful digital collection and something tangible you can someday place in your child's hands.
Not sure which to choose?
If you simply want beautiful portraits of baby, Petite may be all you need. If you want the fully story - including parents and siblings - Signature will be your best fit. And if you want the complete experience plus a tangible piece of this season to keep, choose Heirloom.
how newborn booking works
Because babies have absolutely no respect for Google Calendar, your due date reserves your place on my calendar rather than locking you into a session date before baby arrives.
To leave room for early and late arrivals, Dearly Held accepts a limited number of newborn due-date reservations each month. Once your baby is here, we'll choose your actual session date together.
You take care of loving them. I'll take care of making sure you remember how little they were.
A signed agreement and non-refundable booking retainer are required to reserve your session. Flexible payment options are available.
