I’ll Hold the Baby, You Drink the Coffee.

 

Hi, I’m Ute. I’m a newborn photographer here in Milford, Connecticut, and I work with parents who want beautiful, meaningful images, even if they’re currently surviving on dry shampoo, cold coffee, and pure determination. My job is to capture the magic of these early days while blissfully ignoring the laundry pile and general chaos happening behind the scenes.

 

My clients rave because I’m a detail-obsessed, customer-service-nerd kind of human. Basically, the Type A friend you wish you had on speed dial right about now. After more than 15 years and over 1,000 newborns, I’ve seen everything: blowouts, spit-up fountains, and toddlers on a strict “no smiling today” policy. Creating calm in the middle of all that? That’s my superpower.

 

I’ll guide you through every pose so you never wonder what on earth your hands should be doing, and I’ll make sure your photos feel effortless and genuine. We are preserving the tiny, fleeting moments, what it felt like to hold them when they were this small. And yes… the milk stains disappear like magic.

 

In fewer words: I got you, Mama!

What to Know Before Your CT NEWBORN Session | FAQ

  • Q: When should I book my newborn session?
    A: Honestly? As soon as you can. I’ve had moms email me the second the test showed two lines, and others message me from their hospital bed. But if you want the best chance at snagging your spot, the second trimester is the sweet spot. I book out months in advance because I keep my schedule limited (quality over chaos). If you’re unsure, just reach out. I’m always here to help.
  • Q: What should we bring to the session?
    A: Basically… just yourselves. I’ve got all the wraps, props, outfits, and baby goodies covered. If you have a sentimental item or a special outfit you’d love photographed, bring it along! And diapers? Yep, I keep those stocked too! because I am prepared-prepared.
  • Q: What should my baby wear to the studio?
    A: Keep it simple. A onesie or zip-up sleeper, something easy to slip off without waking your little squish. Once you arrive, I take over with wardrobe, wraps, and all the cozy things.
  • Q: What if my baby is fussy or doesn’t sleep?
    A: Ohhh, friend… every parent asks this. And it’s so normal. We build in plenty of time for feeding, soothing, burping, and snuggling. all the things. With patience and my very official baby-whisperer superpowers, we always get the dreamy shots you’re hoping for. Always.

 

Professional Newborn Portrait Artwork

 

Your baby is only this tiny for, like… five minutes. The days might feel endless right now, but the weeks? They disappear so fast. That’s why investing in professional artwork after your newborn session isn’t just “buying photos”, it’s giving your future self the sweetest gift ever.

 

Picture this: you’re rushing through the house, coffee in hand, hair doing its own thing… and you pass a gorgeous framed portrait of your little one. Those tiny fingers. That peaceful squishy face. That melt-your-heart pose. And suddenly? Your whole morning feels lighter.

 

These aren’t just pictures on a wall! They’re daily reminders of the love (and the adorable chaos) that fills your home.

Or imagine this: years from now, you’re sitting with your kiddo, flipping through their newborn album together. They’ll see just how deeply they were loved from day one. Every photo tells a story. These quiet little moments, cozy snuggles, and all the emotion that filled the room when they first arrived.

 

Albums and wall art do more than hang on the wall or sit on a shelf. They turn those fleeting first days into memories you can touch, feel, and revisit again and again. They become part of your family’s story.

 

The days may blur, but the photos? They won’t.

 

When your session is done, you walk away with more than pretty pictures; you get proof. Proof that you were there, loving fiercely, through all the messy, miraculous beginnings.

 

Booking now makes sure you don’t miss what’s already slipping by. I only take a limited number of newborns each month, so don’t wait.
