Newborn Photography in Brooklyn
Cherishing the soft, honest expressions of your little one.
In Brooklyn, newborn photography is about capturing the gentle, fleeting beauty of your baby’s first days. It can be the delicate curl of a tiny hand around your finger or the serene expressions of rest while they sleep. These natural and simple moments create a narrative of your growing family that is authentic and deeply personal.
I concentrate on real, unscripted interactions, photographing your newborn exactly as they are in the comfort of your arms or the familiar surroundings of your Brooklyn home. Each photograph becomes a lasting reminder of the warmth, love, and tenderness of those earliest days, preserving the unique personality and presence of your baby.
My Approach
to Documentary-Style
Newborn Photography
Newborn photography in a documentary style is about telling your family’s story as it naturally unfolds. Over time, I have trained myself to notice the small, fleeting gestures that might otherwise go unnoticed; the way your baby yawns and stretches, the gentle smiles and expressions that happen spontaneously, and the soft interactions shared between parents and child. I maintain a gentle presence in the background, ensuring the environment is calm while capturing these moments as they naturally occur.
I want your photographs to feel as authentic as the days themselves—unposed, gentle, and reflective of your family’s unique connection. Many parents remark that the sessions feel soothing and allow them to focus entirely on their baby, creating a grounding and memorable experience.
By working with only a select number of families annually, I ensure that each session receives thoughtful attention and care. This focused approach allows me to document each moment thoroughly and create images that preserve the quiet beauty of your newborn’s earliest days.

Frequently Asked Questions: Documentary Newborn Photography in Brooklyn
-
In my work as a documentary newborn photographer, I focus entirely on recording genuine moments rather than arranging or posing scenes. The first days with your baby are naturally full of small, intimate details, from tiny movements to soft expressions. These moments do not need to be manufactured because they already exist. I am there to notice them, capture them thoughtfully, and ensure that each image reflects the natural beauty of your newborn’s earliest experiences.
-
Yes. While I specialize in capturing spontaneous and candid moments that reflect your family’s genuine interactions, I make sure to take a few posed group photographs of the family with the baby. These posed images usually take only five to ten minutes so that the session remains relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.
-
There is no need to worry about arranging or performing for photographs during your newborn session. My goal is to preserve the genuine, tender moments that unfold naturally between you and your baby. I only provide guidance when necessary, like recommending where to position yourselves for the best natural light. Beyond that, your family’s flow and interactions set the pace. The session is designed to allow you to fully relax, enjoy your time together, and focus on your baby rather than the camera.
-
Yes. Though my studio is based in New York City, I am available to travel anywhere within New York and throughout the United States for newborn photography. I will come to your preferred location to ensure the environment is familiar and comfortable for your baby and family.
-
The most efficient way to arrange a session is to contact me with your desired date and location so I can verify that the time is available. After confirming the date, we can have a detailed discussion about the session either by phone, video chat, or in person depending on what works best for you. I ask for a $200 non-refundable deposit to hold the date, and the balance of your payment is due at least one month before the session. For bookings made less than one month in advance, full payment is required immediately to secure your appointment.
-
While it can vary slightly, most families receive their edited images within four to six weeks. This period ensures that every photograph is treated with care, resulting in a gallery filled with images that reflect the intimacy and joy of your newborn experience. After editing, a link to your private online gallery will be provided for viewing and downloading.
-
Yes, I maintain full professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Certificates can be provided upon request for reassurance and verification.
-
Newborns are typically easiest to photograph during their first two weeks of life when they are naturally sleepier. Booking early ensures that your session can be scheduled around your due date, giving you peace of mind and flexibility.
-
Sessions generally last between two and four hours, which gives time for feeding, comforting, repositioning, and capturing the natural range of moments that make newborn photography so memorable.
-
Sessions take place in your home so that your family is comfortable and relaxed. This approach encourages authentic interactions and allows for a more personal, natural set of photographs.
-
Soft swaddles, simple onesies, or neutral clothing usually work best, but the choice is completely yours. I aim to highlight your baby’s natural beauty in a way that feels authentic and effortless.
-
Yes, including the whole family creates candid, heartfelt images that show connection, love, and joy.
-
This is perfectly normal. I follow your baby’s lead and capture natural, unscripted moments, whether awake, asleep, or being comforted. These often turn into the most treasured images.
