Experience

Working with chelsei



Those first days with your baby are tender, beautiful, and often a little overwhelming. My goal is for your newborn session to feel like a quiet place to simply slow down, breathe, and enjoy your baby.

My sessions are baby-led and never rushed. We take our time, allowing plenty of room for feeding, soothing, snuggling, diaper changes, and breaks whenever baby—or mama—needs them. There is never any pressure for your baby to sleep or behave a certain way. I gently follow their cues and let the session unfold naturally.

Some of my clients like to call me the “baby whisperer,” and it may just be one of my favorite compliments.  After years of photographing newborns, I’ve learned that patience, a gentle touch, and a calm environment can make all the difference.

As a mom myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable and cared for during those early postpartum days. Whether we’re in my studio or the comfort of your home, I’ll guide you through everything so you never have to wonder what to do.

You just love on your baby. I’ll take care of the rest.

FAQ

01. WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY NEWBORN SESSION?

I recommend booking during pregnancy to ensure availability around your due date. I’ll reserve your spot based on your due date, and once baby arrives, we’ll choose the exact session date. Newborn sessions are generally photographed within the first 5–20 days after birth.

 

02. WHAT IF MY BABY IS FUSSY OR DOESN’T SLEEP?

 

Please don’t worry! My sessions are completely baby-led and never timed. We’ll take breaks whenever needed for feeding, changing, soothing, or simply snuggling. Some of my clients even call me the “baby whisperer.” 🤍 There is never any pressure for baby to sleep or cooperate—we simply follow their lead.

 

03. CAN PARENTS & SIBLINGS BE INCLUDED?

 

Absolutely! Your newborn session is about this season for your entire family. Parents and siblings are always welcome, and I’ll gently guide everyone so your photographs feel natural, comfortable, and connected.


 

04. STUDIO OR IN-HOME—WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE?

 

Whichever feels most comfortable for you! My studio offers a clean, light-filled setting with everything we need, while an in-home session allows us to document your family in your own space—including sweet moments in baby’s nursery. Both create beautiful, timeless images.
