When is the best time for newborn photos?

The optimal window for newborn photography is between 5 and 14 days old. During this period, infants are more flexible and sleep deeply, which is ideal for posed photography.

How do I book a newborn session if I don't know the exact birth date?

We use a due-date placeholder system. We block off time around your estimated due date, and once the baby arrives, parents simply notify us within 48 hours to finalize the session date.

Is newborn photography safe?

Safety is our priority. We use spotters for every pose, utilize digital composites for complex positions like the 'froggy' pose so the baby is always supported, and maintain a sanitized, temperature-controlled environment.

What is the difference between a Studio and In-Home Lifestyle session?

Studio sessions focus on artistic, posed portraits with full access to props and controlled lighting. In-Home Lifestyle sessions focus on natural connection and storytelling within the family's home environment.

Do I need to bring outfits for the baby?

No, we provide a curated wardrobe of high-end, handmade knits and wraps designed specifically to fit newborns perfectly without being bulky.

Award-Winning Mobile Newborn & Maternity Photography in Whitby

Bringing the Studio Experience to Your Doorstep

Since 2008, I have been capturing life’s most precious beginnings. With over 1,000 newborns photographed and multiple industry awards, I specialize in creating timeless, high-quality portraits in the place where you feel most relaxed: your own home.

The Luxury of an In-Home Session

Forget the stress of packing up the diaper bag. I am a mobile newborn photographer serving Whitby, Toronto and the surrounding areas, offering intimate, private sessions in a comfortable environment. Whether it's a glowing maternity shoot or your baby’s first portraits, I bring the professional studio experience to you.

Patience is Priority: Sessions are never rushed. We set aside 3–4 hours to allow ample time for nursing, soothing, and bonding.

A Curated Wardrobe: Clients have exclusive access to my collection of 50+ stunning maternity gowns and an extensive array of high-end props and accessories.

The Perfect Timing: For those tiny, sleepy poses, newborn sessions are best scheduled between 5 and 14 days old.

My focus is always on capturing timeless, high quality images that you can cherish for a lifetime.

PREGNANCY PHOTOGRAPHY

Your pregnancy portrait session is scheduled between 32 and 36 weeks of your pregnancy. We capture images of you and your partner together and clients have access to over 50 beautiful maternity gowns with unlimited outfit changes during your session.

I have the two best jobs in the world; I am a mother to two beautiful girls, an 18-year-old and 8-year old.

I feel really blessed to work with babies and children to create lifelong memories.
