Congratulations! Welcoming a new baby into your life is such a beautiful time. 

Here at JMP, I LOVE being a tiny part of this, by capturing your sweetest moments! From maternity photos before the baby arrives, to newborn photos just after, I bring over a decade of experience photographing couples and newborn babies. My on location eye for light combined with 7 years of photographing newborn babies in their first two days of life, gives me the experience we need to have a beautiful photo shoot together, whether out in nature, in the comfort of your home, or in the photography studio.

MyStyleMyStyle My approach to photography is natural and playful. I LOVE documenting your moments as they happen, whether that’s a perfect little yawn from your newborn baby, or your older kids playing a game in the other room. I am here for those snuggle moments, and in between moments that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
For your lifestyle newborn photography, we won’t use a lot of props. We will capture your new little bundle in your comfortable space, or the comfortable space of the studio, for an organic look and feel.

WhatToExpectWhatToExpect
When you book your photography session with me, I will guide you through the hard parts, and the not so hard parts. I take away the worry and stress, and help with what to wear, how to prepare your partner and children for photos, how to choose your new wall art and hang it in your home, and more. I am here to help make this beautiful experience fun and seamless. After all, you will soon have a new baby at home, and that is enough to worry about!
As soon as I arrive in your home, you will see me take off my shoes and wash my hands. When I enter your space, I want you to know that I take care in keeping your family safe.

I have two newborn photography sessions to choose from, and I typically recommend the Grand Collection. This session is about 1.5 hours long, which is a perfect amount of time to capture the baby by themselves, with siblings (if any), and with parents. It also gives us time to change, feed, and snuggle the baby a little extra, if needed. We will not be rushed!

FAQs

- When is the best time to schedule my newborn photography session? I recommend having newborn baby photos taken within the first 5 days after birth, and definitely within the first 10 days. This is so that we can capture your new little bundle while they still have that newborn look and are still all curled up. 

- What should I bring? I recommend that parents bring a few items that they love, like a couple of swaddle blankets, a hat or headband, a special outfit, a lovey, etc. I love when families bring simple items to help make their newborn photos uniquely theirs!

- How long is my newborn session? You can choose either the Classic Collection with up to one hour of photography, or the Grand Collection with up to 90 minutes of photography.

- Where will my session be held? You can choose between an in home newborn baby photo shoot or an in studio newborn baby photo shoot.

- How many photos will there be in my gallery? Since every family and newborn baby is different, I cannot quote an exact number of photos that you will have to choose from in your gallery. However, most of my newborn baby sessions booked with the Grand Collection have 60 or more images, and most of my newborn baby sessions booked with the Classic Collection have 40 or more images.

- When will my photos be ready for me to see them? Quickly! I will post a sneak peek on social media a few days after your session, and will have all of your images completed and in your gallery within 2 to 3 weeks.

- Do you travel for photography sessions? Yes! The prices listed in the photography collections above include locations within 30 minutes of Asheville, NC. Travel to farther locations is available for a small added fee.
