Newborn Photography in Queens

In my approach as a documentary newborn photographer, I prioritize capturing life as it genuinely happens, without any artificial posing or staging. The first days of your baby’s life are already filled with intimate, quiet moments that reflect tenderness and natural connection. My task is to observe these moments, recognize their beauty, and preserve them in a way that remains true to the reality and emotion of your family’s earliest days together.

Yes. Although the primary goal of my sessions is to capture candid and genuine moments of your newborn, I always take the time to photograph the family together in some posed images. This part of the session is typically brief, lasting between five and ten minutes, so it does not interrupt the relaxed and natural pace of the session.

There is no need to worry about posing or performing in a newborn photography session. My approach is to observe and record the tender, authentic interactions that occur naturally between you and your baby. I will guide you only when it is helpful, such as positioning for the best natural light, but otherwise your family’s natural rhythm leads the session. The goal is for you to feel completely comfortable, enjoy the experience, and let these early moments be documented in a relaxed, genuine way.

Yes. Even though I am based in New York City, I am available to travel anywhere within New York and across the United States for newborn photography. I will come to a location that is convenient for your family, ensuring comfort and ease for your baby.

To schedule your session, the best approach is to contact me with your preferred date and location, which allows me to confirm my availability for that time. Once the date is tentatively held, we can review session specifics via phone, video chat, or an in-person meeting based on what is most convenient for you. A $200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure the date, and the remaining payment is due no later than one month prior to the session. For bookings made within a month of the session, full payment is due at the time of reservation.

While times may vary slightly, most families receive their fully edited newborn images within four to six weeks. This period ensures that each photograph receives careful attention, resulting in a gallery that preserves the most intimate and fleeting moments of your baby’s early life. You will be provided a link to access your private online gallery once the editing is complete.

Yes, I carry comprehensive professional indemnity and public liability insurance. I can provide a certificate if requested for your reassurance.

The best time for a newborn session is generally within the first two weeks after birth when babies are most naturally sleepy. Early booking guarantees that your session can be scheduled conveniently around your due date, ensuring a relaxed and stress-free experience.

Sessions typically last two to four hours, allowing time for feeding, soothing, repositioning, and capturing both quiet and lively moments. This unhurried approach ensures every significant expression and tender gesture is documented.

I offer sessions in your home, providing a familiar, safe, and comfortable environment. This encourages genuine, candid images that reflect your family’s daily life and the natural interactions with your newborn.

Soft, simple clothing such as swaddles or neutral onesies usually works best. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and I support whatever helps your baby feel comfortable and natural.

Yes, including siblings and parents provides a fuller picture of your family, capturing connections, love, and interactions that make the photographs deeply meaningful.

This is perfectly normal and expected. I follow your baby’s cues, working at their pace to capture authentic, natural moments whether awake, being soothed, or slowly falling asleep. These unscripted images are often the most cherished.

For a newborn session in Queens, there is not much you need to do, as natural light and a familiar, cozy environment provide everything necessary for capturing meaningful photographs. I am always available to answer any questions or provide guidance before and during the session, ensuring a smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for you and your baby.
