Gentle, unhurried newborn portraits captured in-studio during the first two weeks of life.
The first two weeks of a baby’s life are the best window for the soft, curled-up newborn portraits most parents picture — after that, babies wake up more, startle more easily, and hold poses less willingly. Newborn photography is its own specialty, distinct from general portrait or family photography, and it takes patience, safe posing technique, and a studio built for a baby who’s often undressed and asleep for part of the session.
Newborn sessions are typically photographed in a Wichita studio setting, where temperature, lighting, and noise can be controlled for comfort and safety. Sessions run at the baby’s pace — we build in real time for feeding, soothing, and settling, so a fussy stretch doesn’t derail the appointment. Most families leave with a full range of portraits: close-up details, wrapped and posed images, and portraits with parents and siblings.
Newborns photograph best in that first two weeks, when they’re still naturally sleepy and curl easily into the soft, posed portraits most parents want. Waiting longer isn’t a dealbreaker, but sessions get more active and less predictable the older a baby gets, which is why we recommend booking your date during pregnancy rather than after the baby arrives.
A warm, quiet, baby-safe studio environment for the entire appointment.
Gentle, tested poses, never forced or rushed for a shot.
Time built in for portraits with parents and siblings, not just the baby alone.
No fixed end time — we work around feeding and settling needs.
Newborn sessions typically run longer than other session types, which is reflected in pricing, along with whether you’d like digital images, prints, or both. See our Pricing page for the full breakdown, or reach out for an exact quote.
We specialize in newborns specifically — not as one more thing we offer alongside weddings or events. That focus means real training in newborn safety and posing, a studio actually built for this work, and a calendar that leaves room for sessions to run as long as a baby needs.
