The experience

What to expect

Your Durham NC newborn photography session will take place in your home, the most special place for us to create your earliest family photos! The comfortable, familiar setting will put your whole family most at ease, and it makes coordination with feedings and diaper changes as effortless as possible.

Donā€™t worry about the dishes in the sink or laundry in the hamperā€”Iā€™m here to make everything but the feeling of snuggling your sweet new baby melt away. Newborns change so rapidly, but our session ensures their tiny features and cozy interactions with you will be captured forever.

In the midst of sleepless nights and constant feedings, letā€™s freeze those precious moments that make it all so very worth it! From when to schedule your Durham newborn photo session to what the whole family should wear, find the answers to frequently asked questions here.
