Newborn photography Packages

In-Home Newborn Photography in Connecticut

Your baby's first days are incredibly special — and you don't need to leave your home to preserve them beautifully.
 

All Newborn Glow Photography sessions take place in the comfort of your own home in Connecticut.
 

There is no need to pack a diaper bag, drive with a newborn, or worry about arriving somewhere on time. I come to you and create your newborn photography experience right in your home.
 

For styled newborn sessions, I bring the photography equipment, newborn wraps, baskets, small beds, blankets, outfits, backgrounds, and coordinating props needed for your selected package.
 

Depending on the session, we may use your living room or another area with enough space for the photography setup.

For Lifestyle sessions, your own home becomes the setting. We may photograph your family in the nursery, bedroom, living room, crib, rocking chair, or other meaningful spaces.
 

Your home does not need to be perfect or professionally decorated.
The focus is always on your baby, your family, and this beautiful stage of your life.
 

Which Newborn Session Is Right for You?

I offer two main styles of newborn photography:

 

EXPRESS NEWBORN SESSIONS

$250–$300

Express sessions are designed to be simple, comfortable, and relatively quick.

Baby remains wrapped during the posed newborn portion of the session. Because we are not spending time undressing baby, changing multiple outfits, or transitioning through traditional newborn poses, these sessions can be completed much faster.

Express sessions are ideal if you want beautiful newborn memories without a long traditional newborn photoshoot.

 

TRADITIONAL NEWBORN SESSIONS

$450–$600

Traditional newborn sessions allow significantly more time for individual newborn posing and styling.

Instead of keeping baby wrapped throughout the entire session, I spend more time gently positioning and photographing your baby in a variety of wrapped and unwrapped poses.

Depending on your baby's comfort, sleep, age, and flexibility, we may create:

  • Back-lying newborn poses

  • Side-lying poses

  • Curled newborn poses

  • Tummy poses

  • Hands gently positioned near baby's face

  • Wrapped poses

  • Hands-out wrapped poses

  • Basket poses

  • Small newborn bed poses

  • Outfit portraits

  • Overhead photographs

  • Close-up portraits

  • Tiny detail photographs of hands, feet, eyelashes, lips, and toes

Traditional newborn photography takes longer because baby needs time to be fed, soothed, changed, settled to sleep, and carefully transitioned from one pose into another.

Every baby is different, so the exact poses are always selected according to your baby's comfort and safety.

I never force a baby into a pose.

#3. Express lifestyle$300 (Discount not applicable)

Baby + Family • Natural lifestyle photography • No studio props

A relaxed lifestyle session that captures your baby's first days naturally in your own home.

Unlike my traditional newborn packages, I do not create a studio-style newborn setup or bring baskets, backgrounds, outfits, or posing props for this session.

Instead, we photograph your family using your own home as the setting — for example, the nursery, parents' bedroom, living room, crib, rocking chair, or other meaningful areas of your home.

This package includes:

  • Newborn baby + family

#4. Short Newborn$450

Baby only • One styled setup • Professional newborn posing

This package is perfect if you would like a traditional posed newborn session but do not need several different themes or family photographs.

Unlike the Express packages, this session allows more time for professional newborn posing and detailed retouching.

This package includes:

  • Newborn baby only — no family photos

  • Approximately 2 hour session

  • One outfit / one coordinated theme

  • One complete styled setup

  • I bring the background, baskets, wraps, outfit, blankets, and coordinating accessories

  • Different professional newborn poses

  • Baby may be photographed both in props and posed outside of props depending on the setup

  • Detail photographs and close-ups

  • 25–35 professionally retouched digital images

Examples of poses we may create:

Depending on your baby's comfort and safety, your session may include:

  • Baby lying comfortably on the back

  • Side-lying poses

  • Gentle tummy poses

  • Curled newborn poses

  • Hands positioned near baby's face

  • Wrapped poses

  • Hands-out wrapped poses

  • Basket poses

  • Small newborn bed poses

  • Outfit portraits

  • Overhead portraits

  • Close-up facial photographs

  • Tiny details such as baby's fingers, toes, lips, eyelashes, and feet

Because these poses require gentle positioning, soothing, and transitioning baby from one position into another, this session requires more time than an Express Wrapped session.
 

Professional Retouching Included

Each final image receives individual professional attention, including:

  • Detailed color correction

  • Skin refinement

  • Reduction of temporary redness when appropriate

  • Reduction of temporary dry or flaky skin when appropriate

  • Background cleanup

  • Overall image refinement

  • Final artistic finishing


Please note: Professional retouching includes more detailed editing than the Express packages, including skin cleanup, color refinement, and finishing each selected photograph for a polished newborn photography look.

Best for: Parents who want traditional posed newborn photography with professional retouching but only need one theme/setup.



#5. Only Newborn$525

Baby only • Three outfits/setups • Maximum baby-photo variety

We also have time for feeding, diaper changes, comforting, and settling baby between setups.
 

Three Different Looks

With up to three setups, your gallery may include different:

  • Colors

  • Outfits

  • Wraps

  • Backgrounds

  • Props

  • Baskets

  • Styling combinations

This creates a much more varied final gallery than the Short or Express packages.
 

Professional Retouching Included

Each delivered photograph receives detailed individual retouching and artistic finishing.

Please note: Because we have more time than in the Short Newborn package, we can create significantly more variety throughout your gallery.

Best for: Parents who primarily want beautiful, fully styled photographs of their newborn and would like several different looks without family portraits.



#6. VIP Newborn $600

Baby + Family • Three outfits/setups • Full newborn experience

The VIP Newborn package is my most complete newborn photography experience.

It combines everything included in the Only Newborn package — traditional newborn posing, multiple outfits, three setups, props, close-ups, detail photography, and professional retouching — with professional family portraits.
 

Because we have approximately 3–5 hours, the session can move completely around your baby's needs without rushing.

There is time for feeding, diaper changes, soothing, settling baby to sleep, posing, outfit changes, setup changes, and family photography.


This package includes:

  • Newborn baby photography

  • Family photographs included

  • Parents, siblings, and other family members may participate

  • Approximately 3–5 hour session

  • Up to 3 different newborn outfits / setups / themes

  • I bring backgrounds, baskets, beds, wraps, outfits, blankets, and coordinating props

  • Different professional newborn poses

  • Wrapped and styled poses

  • Prop poses

  • Close-ups and detail photographs

  • Family portraits photographed on a professional background

  • 25–35 professionally retouched digital images

  • High-resolution JPG files
     

Examples of newborn poses we may create:

Depending on your baby's comfort and safety, we may create a combination of:

  • Wrapped newborn poses

  • Hands-out wrapped poses

  • Back poses

  • Side-lying poses

  • Curled newborn poses

  • Gentle tummy poses

  • Hands positioned near baby's face

  • Overhead photographs

  • Close-up facial portraits

  • Detail photographs of baby's hands

  • Feet

  • Toes

  • Lips

  • Fingers

  • Eyelashes

During a traditional newborn session, I spend significantly more time posing and repositioning your baby.

Small adjustments to baby's hands, feet, head position, body position, wraps, blankets, and props can make a big difference in the final photograph.

This careful posing process is one of the main reasons a traditional newborn session takes significantly longer than an Express session.


Family Photography Included

Family photographs may include:

  • Baby with Mom

  • Baby with Dad

  • Baby with both parents

  • Baby with siblings

  • Parents + baby

  • Full family portraits

  • Other family members when requested

Family portraits are photographed using a professional photography background.
 

Professional Retouching Included

Every selected photograph receives detailed professional retouching and final artistic finishing.

Please note: This package provides the greatest variety and allows us to create both a complete newborn gallery and beautiful family portraits from this special time.

Best for: Families who want the full newborn photography experience — multiple baby setups, professional posing, detailed retouching, and family photographs.

Why Do Traditional Newborn Sessions Take Longer?

You may notice that an Express session can take approximately 30–60 minutes while a traditional newborn session may take several hours.

The difference is posing and the amount of individual work with your baby.

During traditional newborn photography, I gently position baby's:

  • Head

  • Hands

  • Fingers

  • Feet

  • Legs

  • Body

  • Wraps

  • Clothing

  • Blankets

We may spend several minutes settling baby into one comfortable pose before taking the photograph.

Then baby is gently transitioned into the next position.

The process may also include:

  • Feeding

  • Burping

  • Diaper changes

  • Soothing

  • Rocking

  • Settling baby back to sleep

  • Outfit changes

  • Wrap changes

  • Prop changes

  • Background changes

The goal is not to rush.

The additional time allows us to create a much more varied and carefully posed newborn gallery while always prioritizing your baby's comfort.


Newborn Safety Comes First

Every baby is different.

Some newborns naturally curl into certain positions while others prefer different poses.

The poses we create depend on your baby's:

  • Age

  • Sleep

  • Flexibility

  • Comfort

  • Temperament

  • Safety

I never force a baby into a pose.

If your baby does not appear comfortable in a particular position, we simply move on to another pose.

Your baby's safety and comfort always come before getting a photograph.

For this reason, specific poses can never be guaranteed.


Color Correction vs. Professional Retouching

Express Sessions

Express packages focus on speed, simplicity, and value.

Depending on the selected package, photographs receive professional editing including:

  • Exposure correction

  • White balance correction

  • Color correction

  • Contrast adjustments

  • General image refinement

Detailed individual skin or background retouching is not included unless specifically stated.

Traditional Newborn Sessions

Packages #4, #5, and #6 include detailed professional retouching.

Each final photograph receives individual attention to create a polished newborn photography look.

Retouching may include:

  • Professional color correction

  • Skin refinement

  • Temporary redness reduction when appropriate

  • Temporary flaky skin cleanup when appropriate

  • Background cleanup

  • Small distracting-element removal

  • Overall image refinement

  • Final artistic finishing


Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the newborn session take place?

All newborn sessions take place in your home.

I bring the photography equipment and the items included with your selected package directly to you.

You do not need to travel anywhere with your newborn.

Does my home need to be large or professionally decorated?

No.

For styled sessions, I mainly need enough room to safely create the photography setup.

Your entire home does not need to be clean or photo-ready.

For Lifestyle sessions, we intentionally use your own home as part of the photographs.

What is the best age for newborn photography?

The first weeks of baby's life are especially suitable for newborn photography because babies are generally sleepier and naturally more curled during this stage.

Traditional posed sessions are easiest when babies are still very young.

However, every baby is different, and older newborns can still be photographed beautifully.

The exact poses and session flow may simply be adjusted according to your baby's age and comfort.

What happens if my baby does not sleep?

That is completely okay.

Newborn sessions always move at baby's pace.

We can feed, soothe, wrap, rock, or comfort baby as needed.

Beautiful photographs can also be created when baby is awake.

Can siblings participate?

Yes, with packages that include family photography.

Package #2 and package #6 include family photographs.

Lifestyle package #3 also includes family photography in your home environment.

Do you provide props and outfits?

Yes, for the styled newborn packages.

The exact number of setups, outfits, and props depends on the package you select.

Package #3 Express Lifestyle does not include studio-style props or backgrounds because your own home is used as the setting.

Will my baby do every pose shown in your portfolio?

Not necessarily.

Every newborn has a different level of flexibility, comfort, sleepiness, and preference.

I choose poses based on what is appropriate and comfortable for your baby.

I never force a baby into a pose simply to recreate a photograph.
