Newborn
oh baby!
You did it! You brought an entirely new human into this world. Let’s let that sink in for a minute!
This chapter will go by in an absolute sleep deprived blur. And you likely know that it isn’t always going to be pretty. But I want to reclaim that highlight reel of the early days of parenting. To capture and hold on to the moments you want to remember.
It is my joy to get to document those tiny, precious features of your new baby, the feeling of adding to your family. The chaos, and the wonderment. The snuggles from their big sibling that are a little bit too much, the kisses from your dog that are a little bit too slobbery.
It’s all magic.

I specialize in in-home, natural light newborn photography. I love getting to do newborn session at your home because you are forming so many amazing memories there – this is the home that you will bring your baby home to, the nursery where you will rock him or her to sleep in the wee hours of the morning & that is so special! I will gently guide poses and ideas, but my style is largely baby led, creating natural family photos.
I recommend taking newborn photos when baby is around 2-4 weeks old.
It is also my greatest joy to get to take both maternity and newborn photos for families. I offer a “baby bundle” discount just for that!

“We had the best experience with Meredith in our newborn/family shoot. We have three kids and there was a lot of energy going around. Meredith gently navigated us allowing each child’s spirit to shine through. The final images are absolutely stunning, and I love how they capture our family so perfectly during this time.”
