A soft, stress-free experience for your baby’s first portraits



There is nothing quite like those first days. The quiet weight of them in your arms. The way time somehow feels slow and fast all at once.
If you’re searching for studio newborn photos in Connecticut, you’re probably craving something simple… something calm… something that doesn’t require more from you during a season that already asks so much.
As a mama of two, I know how tender (and overwhelming) those early weeks can be. My studio experience is designed to feel peaceful, guided, and completely taken care of — so you can just show up and soak in your baby.
A studio session gives you one beautiful gift: calm.
No cleaning your house.
No worrying about natural light.
No moving furniture around the nursery.
The studio is intentionally designed for softness — creamy neutrals, gentle textures, warm air to keep baby cozy, and beautiful consistent light that photographs like a dream.
You simply arrive. Everything is ready.
If you love timeless, romantic portraits that feel elevated and heirloom-worthy, a studio newborn session is often the perfect fit.

The ideal window for newborn portraits is 7–21 days after birth.
During this time:
Because this season is brief, I recommend reserving your newborn session during your second trimester. We hold your due date on the calendar and once baby arrives, we choose the perfect session day.
If baby comes early or late, don’t worry — I adjust with you. Motherhood is unpredictable, and your photography experience should feel flexible and supportive.
Newborn sessions are never rushed here.
We follow your baby’s pace. That means:
White noise hums in the background. The studio is warm and peaceful. I handle your baby safely and confidently, always with slow, intentional movements.
You will never feel unsure of what to do. I guide you into natural, connected poses so you look relaxed and beautiful — even if you haven’t slept much.

This is one of the biggest stressors for new moms — and I don’t leave you to figure it out alone.
Soft neutrals photograph beautifully:
Flowing fabrics create that romantic movement you see in my work.
I also offer a carefully curated client wardrobe for moms and babies, so you don’t have to shop, order five dresses, and return four of them two weeks postpartum. You deserve ease.

Both are beautiful — it simply depends on what you’re drawn to.
