Newborn Photography
Newborn Photography
Allow me to document those quiet, early moments with your newborn baby. My relaxed, in-home sessions are designed to both capture sweetness and authenticity of this season, while keeping the experience as effortless as possible for you. I arrive prepared with tools to adapt to any home situation and go with your flow. With a little bit of direction, we are capturing real, beautiful moments amidst your new routine. These are the days that pass in a blur, and my goal is to preserve them in a way that feels honest, calm, and lasting.

Newborn photography FAQ
Your payment covers the session itself, and a download of all the full-resolution, edited, digital images. ‘Edited’ refers to global adjustments, such as exposure and color correction. It also includes standard retouching, if needed, to your favorite images (around 10 favorites). Please note that some retouching requests are complex and may be impossible or require an additional fee.
A typical session produces around 50-100 final, edited, full-resolution images.
Since your booking reserves a specific date and time, it is non-refundable. However, your payment with me never expires, so you can always reschedule should any issues arise. Please note that if renting a studio, my policy is different from that of the studio.
I do not include prints as part of your package, so you are welcome to order prints on your own at any lab of your choosing. I am happy to assist and recommend White House Custom Colour.
Yes! Every session includes a personal print release, which means you’re welcome to print your images for personal use through the lab of your choice. You can make prints, albums, and other keepsakes for yourself and your family.
Please note that the copyright to all images remains with me. Your print release does not allow the images to be sold, entered into contests, used for commercial or business purposes, edited beyond a basic scope for printing, or shared with vendors or publications for promotional use without my permission.
Since your booking reserves a specific date and time, it is non-refundable. However, your payment never expires, so you can always reschedule should any issues arise.
This depends on the season and my work load. In my busiest months, it can take 3+ weeks to deliver a full album. However, I always try to deliver a preview album first. During peak times, I may skip the preview album in an effort to deliver your full album faster. All images are delivered via Google Albums, which are easy to share with family and friends!
Not at all! Parents, siblings and the family pet are welcome to join in the photos.
I do charge a travel fee for locations outside of the greater Portland area. Please contact me for a quote.
Absolutely. Just keep in mind that this will cut into our shooting time, so it’s best to not change more than once.
A newborn session generally takes about 2 hours, though I leave wiggle room in case a little extra time is needed to account for fussiness, additional feedings, etc.
It’s best, if possible, to plan for the session to take place within baby’s first 14 days at home. That is when baby will be most sleepy and therefore cooperative for photos.
I come to you for your comfort and ease.
I bring a bean bag for positioning, a basket, and a few white blankets with differing textures. I do not provide clothing, accessories, or backdrops (my style is natural and candid rather than fabricated).
We can schedule your newborn session based on your due date; typically, 3 days after the baby is due. Then, as we approach the due date, we can adjust the timing as needed for a late or early arrival. Newborn sessions tend to be easy to reschedule because they generally take place Monday – Friday, when my calendar has much more wiggle room.
Customer Review
“Working with Liz was seamless throughout every step of the way. I appreciated the fast response to my initial inquiry and her promptness to answer any question we had about our newborn photo session. During the photoshoot itself, Liz was patient and open to any photo combinations we wanted to take. We were so happy to receive over 50 edited and beautiful images from our newborn session. We will certainly be using her again for different milestone photos! Thanks, Liz!”
