Atlanta & North Georgia Maternity & Newborn Photography

For most pregnancies, the best time for maternity photos is between 28 and 34 weeks. Your bump is usually showing nicely, but you're hopefully still comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session. That said, every pregnancy is different. I've had clients schedule as soon as they started showing and others just a week before their due date. It really comes down to your comfort level and what feels right for you.

That depends on the look you're going for. I photograph maternity sessions throughout Atlanta and North Georgia, from parks and open fields to wooded trails and urban locations. We can also keep things relaxed with an at-home maternity session. I'll help you choose a location based on the scenery, lighting and how much walking you're comfortable doing. You don't need to have the perfect spot picked out before reaching out. That's part of what I help with.

Ideally, while you're still pregnant. But if the whole business of growing a human pushed booking newborn photos to the bottom of your to-do list, that's okay, too. I recommend booking during your second or third trimester so we can plan around your due date. Once your baby arrives, we'll confirm a session date, ideally within 7–14 days after birth. September through November is my busiest season, so booking early is especially helpful for fall due dates.

The first two weeks after birth are a good rule of thumb. Babies tend to be sleepier, and newborn acne often hasn't made its appearance yet. But there's no strict age cutoff for lifestyle newborn photography. Since I don't rely on elaborate poses or keeping your baby asleep, we have plenty of flexibility. Whether your baby is five days old or five weeks old, we can capture beautiful, natural photos of your family.

Yes! I specialize in natural, in-home lifestyle newborn photography throughout Metro Atlanta and North Atlanta. Your session takes place in your own home, where everyone is comfortable and everything your baby needs is already nearby. We'll use the rooms with the best natural light, usually the nursery, primary bedroom or living room. No packing up the diaper bag and driving across town with a newborn required.

No problem! If you'd rather skip the at-home session, we can book Kiah Studios in Woodstock, Georgia, for an additional studio rental fee. It's a gorgeous indoor photography studio with beautiful natural light, neutral colors and plenty of room for the whole family. You'll get the same relaxed, lifestyle newborn photography experience, just in a different setting. Let me know you're interested in a studio session when you reach out, and I'll share the additional cost and availability.

Lifestyle newborn photography focuses on natural interactions between your baby and family, while traditional posed newborn photography typically uses studio setups, props and carefully arranged poses. My approach is relaxed and baby-led. I'll guide you into good light and comfortable positions, but I won't put your newborn into elaborate poses. Think cuddles, tiny details, siblings and the moments that happen naturally. Read more about lifestyle vs. posed newborn photography.

Absolutely not. Your house doesn't need to look like a magazine, and I don't expect it to. We'll find the rooms with the best natural light and work around whatever life with a newborn looks like that day. Clear a nightstand, move the laundry pile out of the background and call it good. I'm there to photograph your family, not your housekeeping skills.

That's completely normal. My lifestyle newborn sessions are baby-led, which means we take breaks for feeding, changing, soothing and whatever else your baby needs. Your newborn doesn't have to sleep through the session, either. Awake babies make great photos, too. We'll follow your baby's lead instead of trying to force a schedule.

Absolutely. Maternity and newborn sessions can include your partner, older children and family pets. I love photographing how everyone interacts, especially when there's a new baby involved. Older siblings don't have to sit perfectly still or smile on command, and dogs are always welcome when the location allows. We'll work with everyone's personalities, including the four-legged ones.

I'm an Atlanta maternity and newborn photographer serving Metro Atlanta and North Atlanta, including Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Canton, Woodstock, Marietta, Smyrna and Brookhaven. Maternity sessions can take place outdoors or at home, while newborn sessions are typically photographed in your home, with an optional studio location in Woodstock. If you're outside these areas, reach out and we can discuss your location.

My full photography session is $625 and includes 45–60 minutes and at least 50 hand-edited digital images. I also offer maternity and newborn bundles starting at $950 for a mini and full session, or $1,100 for two full sessions. All packages include edited color and black-and-white images with print rights. Studio sessions are available for an additional rental fee. You can find complete details on my Packages & Pricing page.
