There is something incredibly timeless about a simple newborn portrait filled with soft neutrals, delicate florals, and the peaceful beauty of a sleeping baby. This beautiful newborn session combined creamy textures, white florals, and handcrafted props to create heirloom portraits that will never go out of style.

At Conner James Photography, every newborn session is carefully planned with your baby's safety, comfort, and timeless artwork in mind. As a Certified Newborn Photographer serving Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Collinsville, Maryville, Troy, O'Fallon, Highland, Alton, Wood River, Granite City, Fairview Heights, and the Metro East, I strive to create portraits your family will treasure for generations.

A Timeless Floral Newborn Session

This precious little girl looked absolutely beautiful among soft white daisies, delicate florals, creamy wraps, and neutral textures. The natural colors keep all of the attention exactly where it belongs—on your beautiful new baby.

One of my favorite images from this session features a handcrafted wooden crescent moon overflowing with fresh-looking daisies. It creates a dreamy, whimsical portrait while still maintaining the classic style that never goes out of fashion.

Another favorite is the simple white wrapped pose on my all-white backdrop. These clean portraits highlight every tiny detail—from little fingers and curled toes to those sweet newborn eyelashes.

Finally, we finished with a cozy basket setup featuring soft knit blankets, neutral florals, and a "Hello World" wooden announcement disc. These simple setups are always among parents' favorite images because they beautifully preserve those first few days of life.

Safety Always Comes First

Your baby's safety is always my number one priority.

I am Certified in Newborn Posing & Safety, have photographed thousands of newborns over the past 13+ years, and every newborn session includes my Newborn Assistant to help ensure your baby's comfort and safety throughout the session.

Every pose is done slowly and safely while following your baby's cues. My goal is to create beautiful artwork while giving parents complete peace of mind.

When Should You Book?

The best time to reserve your newborn session is during your second trimester.

Your actual session is typically photographed within the baby's first 5–12 days after birth, when babies are sleepiest and naturally curl into those adorable newborn poses.

Because I accept a limited number of newborns each month, booking early helps guarantee availability around your due date.
