Newborn Photography: Capturing the Precious First Days

Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of life’s most extraordinary moments. Those tiny fingers, sweet little yawns, and the way they curl up so perfectly—these are the details you never want to forget. A newborn photography session is the perfect way to preserve these fleeting moments forever.

At Sage River Photography, I specialize in luxury newborn photography that creates timeless, heirloom-quality images of your little one. With a full studio filled with wraps, props, and everything we need, I ensure a stress-free and beautifully curated experience for both baby and parents.

The Best Time for a Newborn Session

The ideal time to book your newborn session is when your baby is between 5-10 days old. Why?

✨ Sleepy & Curled Up – During this time, babies are still very sleepy and flexible, making it easier to gently pose them in those sweet, curled-up positions.

📷 Less Awake Time & Startle Reflex – Newborns this young tend to stay asleep longer, which means we can capture a variety of beautiful poses without disruption.

🍼 Fewer Baby Acne & Flaky Skin Issues – Around two weeks old, some babies start developing newborn acne or dry skin, so capturing them early ensures smooth, glowing skin in your portraits.

If your baby is a little older, don’t worry—I can still capture beautiful moments! Every stage is precious, and I’ll tailor the session to fit your little one’s comfort level.

What’s Included in a Newborn Session?

I’ve designed my newborn sessions to be a relaxed, full-service experience so you can sit back and enjoy these special moments while I take care of everything.

💖 A Warm & Cozy Studio – My studio is fully stocked with everything we need, including a variety of wraps, props, headbands, and blankets to create beautiful, artistic images of your little one.

📸 Custom Styling & Setup – Before your session, we’ll have an in-person consultation to plan colors, themes, and props that match your style. Whether you prefer neutral, classic looks or colorful, whimsical themes, I have the perfect setup.

💆 Professional Hair & Makeup for Mom – I understand that new moms often feel exhausted in those first few weeks. That’s why I offer professional hair and makeup to help you feel your best while capturing gorgeous parent and baby portraits.

👶 Individual & Family Portraits – While the focus is on your newborn, I also capture beautiful moments with parents and siblings, creating a full gallery of memories.

🛌 Safe & Gentle Posing – Your baby’s safety is my top priority. Every pose is carefully chosen to keep your little one comfortable while creating stunning, artistic images.

📖 Custom-Designed Album Included – No matter which package you choose, you will receive a beautifully designed, high-quality custom album to preserve your baby's first portraits as a timeless keepsake.

💻 Reveal & Ordering Appointment – After your session, you’ll have a reveal and ordering appointment where you can choose your favorite images and decide on wall art, additional albums, and keepsakes to display your baby’s first portraits.
