These early weeks blur together. The tiny stretches, the way they curl into you, the way your home feels with a newborn in it.. it changes quickly. This session preserves what this season actually looked like.

Finding Michael and Laura has been one of the best things to happen to us!! From our engagement, to our wedding, to fall with our new baby, and now expecting baby #2, M&L have been with us through our biggest and most precious life events and there is NO ONE we’d rather capture these moments!
"They always make us feel so special and comfortable."

Michael & Laura are our go to photographers... We have been working with them now for over 5 years and continue to be blown away by their professional yet down to earth approach, easy communication, flexibility, and knowledge. Their photos are magical, timely, and just so special.

I’m sure a lot of parents can relate when I say that pregnancy and immediately postpartum is a really vulnerable time, and they always made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Especially true with our newborn pictures, our baby was two weeks old and the sleep deprivation was real but M&L were so sweet through the whole thing. And the pictures??? Just beautiful

Michael & Laura are the absolute best.... Michael was so great with my oldest son, who thought he was just the coolest. Laura made me feel so comfortable and confident as a newly postpartum mama, and I can't thank her enough for that. Please hire these two - you won't regret it!
"These two are so calm and patient."

We recommend scheduling during your second trimester to reserve your session. Most newborn sessions take place within the first 2-3 weeks after baby arrives. Once your baby is here, we’ll confirm the exact date based on how everyone is feeling.
Before your session, we’ll send over a prep guide that walks you through everything: what to wear, how to prepare, and what to expect during the session. Nothing complicated. Just guidance so you can feel relaxed and ready.

Once your little one is here, send us a quick message and we’ll confirm your session date. If anything shifts, early arrival, extra recovery time, or simply needing a slower start, we adjust. We’ll check in as your due date approaches so everything feels easy and clear.

We keep things warm, slow, and unrushed. There’s time for feeding, changing, cuddling, and breaks. You don’t need to stress if baby doesn’t sleep.. we meet them exactly where they are. Most sessions last about an hour or so.

Within a few weeks, you’ll receive a carefully edited online gallery. From there, you can download your favorites, order heirloom albums, or select fine art prints. We’re happy to guide you through that process, or you can keep it simple and choose what you love.
