WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE NEWBORN SESSION >
March 2, 2026
Baby Colette’s newborn session was such a beautiful and meaningful experience to photograph. This session focused on creating soft, timeless imagery that will never go out of style, using a neutral color palette of whites, creams, and soft pinks. Every detail was intentionally kept simple to allow the connection, emotion, and sweetness of this season to shine through.
Colette’s parents requested a neutral newborn session with subtle pink tones, creating a clean and elegant look that feels both classic and feminine. The white and cream styling paired beautifully with the soft pink accents, resulting in images that feel light, airy, and timeless. This style is perfect for families who want their newborn photos to remain beautiful and relevant for years to come.
Family portraits are always an important part of my newborn sessions, and Colette’s were especially sweet. We captured heartfelt family photos along with sweet sibling moments featuring proud big brother Clayton. Watching siblings interact during a newborn session is always so special, and Clayton did an amazing job loving on his new baby sister. These images are often the most cherished as families look back on how it all began.
This session took place in my South Jersey newborn photography studio in Moorestown, NJ, where everything is designed to feel calm, comfortable, and stress-free for growing families. Studio newborn sessions allow for complete control over lighting and styling, ensuring consistent, polished results while keeping baby cozy and relaxed throughout the session.
This family is part of my First Year Collection, and it’s such an honor to continue documenting Colette’s story beyond her newborn session. Colette has already returned for her first milestone session, and I loved reusing the same white backdrop with a pink floral pattern to create a cohesive look between her newborn and milestone portraits. Seeing how much babies change in their first year and preserving that growth in a consistent, thoughtful way is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
Photographing Clayton during his first year and now being trusted to do the same for baby Colette truly means the world to me. These families and stories are the heart of what I do, and I’m so grateful to be a part of theirs.
