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.
Simple, clean newborn portraits never go out of style and beautifully showcase your baby's tiny features.
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.

Timeless Newborn Photography | St. Louis Metro East | Baby Boy Studio Session
🌟 TIMELESS NEWBORN STUDIO SESSION
Glen Carbon • Edwardsville • St. Louis Metro East
Newborn photography is all about connection, emotion, and preserving the earliest chapter of your baby’s story. This handsome baby boy visited my cozy Glen Carbon, IL studio, conveniently located near Edwardsville, Collinsville, Troy, Maryville, Alton, and O’Fallon, and just a short drive from St. Louis, Missouri.
His session brought together meaningful posing, warm neutrals, and charming personality. From parent hands to sweet teddy bears, every detail highlighted how loved and cherished he already is.
🤍 Held in Loving Hands
This modern black-background portrait is one of the most powerful moments from his session. Baby rests peacefully while multiple hands cradle him—symbolizing protection and connection. These images are instant classics, perfect for wall art, keepsake albums, and heirlooms passed down for generations.
🧸 Tiny Bear & Friends
There is nothing sweeter than a baby in a fuzzy bear outfit surrounded by teddy bears. Snuggled next to his own mini bear, this playful setup adds a whimsical touch and showcases his tiny size in the cutest way.
This scene is a client favorite—especially for nursery wall art and birth announcements.
🤎 Wrapped in Neutrals
