Those first weeks change incredibly quickly. My newborn sessions are designed to preserve the tiny details, quiet connections, and first family moments you’ll want to remember.
Sessions are available in my Winnipeg home studio, which I recommend for classic gently posed newborn portraits, or as a relaxed in-home lifestyle session focused on your family’s natural connection.

Safety First: Qualified Newborn Photography
Your baby’s safety and comfort always come first. I am an APNPI Qualified Newborn Photographer (QNP), have completed the APNPI Newborn Safety Awareness Course, and maintain current First Aid/CPR certification. My newborn sessions are approached patiently and thoughtfully, with gentle, baby-led posing and plenty of time for feeding, comforting, wrapping, and settling as needed.
Studio or In-Home Newborn Photography
My Winnipeg home studio is the recommended setting for newborn sessions, providing a comfortable, controlled environment with professional lighting, wraps, props, and backdrops ready for your baby’s session. It’s the best choice for families looking for classic, gently posed newborn portraits with a consistent studio look.
I also offer in-home lifestyle newborn sessions for families who prefer to remain at home. These sessions have a more relaxed, natural feel and focus on your baby’s connection with parents and siblings in the familiar surroundings of your home.
As your baby grows, I also offer relaxed family photography in Winnipeg for updated portraits with parents, siblings and the whole family.
Studio Sessions: Best for classic posed newborn portraits, controlled lighting, and access to my full collection of wraps, props, and backdrops.
In-Home Lifestyle Sessions: Best for natural family interaction and documentary-style images in your own home.
When Should You Book Newborn Photos?
I recommend reserving your newborn session during pregnancy, ideally during your second or early third trimester. We’ll reserve space around your expected arrival and finalize the session date once your baby is here.
Classic sleepy, curled newborn portraits are often easiest to create during the first two weeks after birth, but that doesn’t mean you’ve missed your opportunity if your baby is older. Every baby is different, and beautiful newborn photographs can still be created outside that traditional window.
If your baby has already arrived and you haven’t booked yet, please get in touch—I’ll do my best to accommodate you.

From First Photographs to Family Heirlooms
Your newborn photographs are included as high-resolution digital files, but some images deserve to become something tangible.
I offer professionally produced fine-art prints, wall art, and handcrafted albums designed to preserve the photographs from these first weeks as something your family can continue to enjoy beyond a screen.
From a framed photograph beside your bed to a three-opening collection of your baby’s first moments, there are many ways to enjoy this session every day. Plan a nursery display with your newborn photographs, including single portraits, three-moment collections, matting and a checklist for choosing your prints.

Winnipeg Newborn Photography FAQ
Q: How long is a newborn session?
A: Newborn sessions are booked for approximately 60 minutes, but I don’t treat that as a strict cutoff. Every baby is different, so we’ll take the time needed for feeding, comforting, changing, wrapping, and settling. The session remains baby-led throughout.
Q: Can parents and siblings be photographed too?
A: Absolutely. Parents and siblings are welcome, and we can create both individual newborn portraits and photographs showing your family’s connection with your newest addition.
Q: What do I need to bring to the studio?
A: My studio is equipped with wraps, props, and newborn photography essentials. Bring your usual baby supplies such as diapers, wipes, feeding supplies, a pacifier if used, and anything special you’d like included. You’ll also receive preparation guidance before your session.
Q: What if my baby doesn’t sleep?
A: That’s completely okay. Every baby is different. We’ll follow your baby’s cues and create beautiful photographs whether they are asleep, awake, wrapped, or being held by you.

A: All wraps, fabrics, and washable items used during newborn sessions are cleaned between clients, and studio surfaces and equipment are maintained and prepared for each session.
