Every newborn session is built around your baby's pace. not a clock. Time is planned for feeding, settling, and everything in between. There's no rush, ever.
The studio is kept warm throughout. All props and surfaces are sanitized before every session. Samantha has spent years learning how to soothe, position, and capture newborns safely. your baby's comfort is always the first priority.

When to Book
The window is smaller than you think.
Book at 20–28 weeks
Reserve your due date window during the second trimester. Sessions fill quickly. especially spring and fall.
Session at days 5–14
The ideal newborn window. Babies are sleepiest, most flexible, and curl naturally into poses during this period.
Maternity at weeks 28–36
If you want maternity portraits, these are often booked alongside the newborn session as a paired package.
Questions
Everything you want to know.
When should I book my Austin newborn session?
Book during your second trimester. ideally between weeks 20 and 28. Newborn sessions should happen within the first 5 to 14 days after birth, when babies are most sleepy and poseable. Booking early guarantees your spot is held for your due date window.
Is the studio safe and warm enough for a newborn?
Absolutely. The studio is kept warm throughout every newborn session. All props, wraps, and surfaces are sanitized before each session. Your baby's safety and comfort are the highest priority. every setup and pose is done gently and carefully.
How long does a newborn session take?
Newborn sessions are typically 2 to 4 hours. Time is built in for feeding, settling, soothing, and diaper changes. there's no rush. The session moves at your baby's pace entirely.
Can parents, siblings, and grandparents be included?
Yes. Family frames are a beautiful part of every newborn session. Samantha plans time for parent portraits, sibling moments, and grandparent frames within the session. These become some of the most cherished images.
Is hair and makeup included for parents?
Professional hair and makeup is included for mothers in every newborn session. You'll arrive camera-ready so you can focus entirely on your baby and being present in these first images as a family.
What should we bring to the newborn session?
Bring feeding supplies (bottle or breastfeeding), extra diapers, a pacifier if your baby uses one, and any meaningful items you'd like included. a family heirloom, a blanket with sentimental value, or a sibling's stuffed animal. Samantha provides all props, wraps, and backdrops.
What if my baby is fussy or won't sleep during the session?
This is completely normal and expected. Samantha is experienced in soothing newborns and knows how to work with their natural rhythms. Sessions are never rushed. there's always time built in for feeding, settling, and breaks. The goal is for both baby and family to feel at ease throughout.
