NEW HAVEN NEWBORN PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

01. Say Hello

Let’s start by connecting, I’d love to hear your story! Tell me about your pregnancy, what you’re loving most about this journey, and when your little one is due (or how old they are now). Since I limit the number of sessions I take on to ensure each client receives the attention they deserve, let’s chat soon to check availability. If you’re expecting, reaching out before your due date is the best way to secure a spot, but I’m here to capture babies at every stage.

04. Your Newborn Session

Your little one has arrived, congratulations! Now it's time to set up your session. I always recommend having a designated "Ute" person, someone who lets me know when your baby is born. Once I get the news, we’ll check the calendar and choose a session date. I love photographing newborns between 9-13 days old while they’re still snuggly and naturally curled up. As we count down to the big day, we’ll finalize your prop selection and details. Most importantly, get excited! This is going to be an unforgettable experience.

What to Know Before Your CT NEWBORN Session | FAQ

Q: When should I book my newborn session?

A: As soon as possible! I’ve had moms reach out as soon as they get the positive test, and I’ve had moms reach out after their baby is already born. My best recommendation is booking your session during your second trimester to ensure my availability. My studio is typically booked several months in advance. Because of the care I provide for each session, I can only take a limited number of sessions each month. Please reach out with any questions. I’m happy to answer!

Q: What should we bring to the session?

A: We provide everything needed for your baby! Wraps, props, and outfits are provided, but feel free to bring a sentimental item or special outfit you'd like photographed. Just bring your family, feeding supplies, and diapers.

Q: What should my baby wear to the studio?

A: Just a simple onesie or zip-up sleeper is perfect! Something easy to take off without disturbing your baby too much. We’ll handle the rest with our studio wardrobe and wraps!

Q: What if my baby is fussy or doesn’t sleep?

A: This fear is totally normal, but don't worry! We allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and snuggling. With patience (and a few baby whisperer tricks), we always get those dreamy shots.

Professional Newborn Portrait Artwork

Your newborn is only this little once, and while the days may feel long, the weeks will fly by. That’s why investing in professional artwork after your newborn photography session is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give your future self.

Imagine walking past a beautiful framed portrait every day and seeing your baby’s tiny fingers, peaceful face, and that perfect, squishy little pose bringing a smile to your face, even on the busiest mornings. These aren’t just photos, they’re daily reminders of just how much love lives in your home.

Or picture sitting down with your child years from now, turning the pages of their newborn album together. As they grow, they'll see how deeply they’ve been loved from the very beginning. Each image tells the story of their first days from the quiet moments, sweet snuggles, and all the emotion that filled the room when they first arrived.

Albums and wall art turn fleeting moments into lasting memories. They become part of your family’s story and something you can hold, display, and cherish as your baby grows.

"We have had two amazing experiences for newborn photoshoots with Ute. My two year old is still adjusting to having a new baby sister so he was a little shy but Ute took her time and helped him to feel comfortable, which I so appreciated. My newborn was a bit fussy at times but Ute was so nurturing and skilled in settling my baby and ultimately delivered stunning photos that we will cherish forever. Ute is a consummate professional and I highly recommend her - she’s the best." Kelly E., Milford Connecticut
