Why Newborn Photography Is So Important

The Newborn Phase Is So Short

Babies change daily in those first few weeks. Newborn photography helps you capture all the tiny details—before they’re gone forever.

Photos That Become Family Treasures

Professional images don’t just live on your phone. They become framed art, albums, and heirlooms passed down for generations.

You’ll Never Regret Having These Memories

Years from now, your baby will see these photos and feel how deeply loved they were—right from the beginning.

Why Family Is Part of the Story

It’s More Than Baby Pictures

A newborn session is about your whole growing family. Capturing your connection, your love, and the story of your new chapter is what makes these sessions so meaningful.

Include Siblings for Extra Sweetness

Heidi is great with toddlers and older siblings too. Including them makes them feel special and gives you timeless sibling shots you’ll treasure forever.

When to Book Your Newborn Session

Book Early – During Your Second Trimester

The best time to reserve your session is around your second trimester. Heidi takes a limited number of clients each month to allow flexibility for due dates.

Photograph Baby Around 5–14 Days Old

This is the sweet spot when babies are sleepy, snuggly, and easier to pose. But don’t worry if your baby is a little older—Heidi still creates magic.

No need to shop for outfits or props. Heidi provides:
