As a newborn photographer in Charlotte I totally get that there are SO many things to consider when it comes to choosing the photographer that will be there with you when you bring that new little baby into your family; a moment you will only get to experience a finite number of times in your life.

NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ

When Should I Reserve My Session?

When is the best time to photograph my baby?

I would say any time is the perfect time for portraits with your sweet new baby! In general, I like 2-6 weeks, 6+ months (or when they can sit up well unassisted) and at a year old or when they are just about walking. I typically don't photograph children between 3-5 months.

Newborn photography sessions are generally reserved after the 20 week ultrasound, and in most cases several months before your due date. This ensures I have space on my calendar. If you're due in the fall, please do reach out months in advance because those months tend to fill-up quickly!

Are siblings included?

All immediate family members are included in your session. I also have everything on-hand that I need for the perfect newborn portraits, such as white wraps, heirloom quilts, knitted outfits, and more.

Yes, babies are definitely on their own schedule, and many times arrive 3 weeks on either end of your due date. Newborn sessions are reserved around your due date, then once baby is born we schedule a hard-date 2-4 weeks after.

Cozy

Since I consider new babies to be newborns up to 3 months of age, during certain seasons, an outdoor newborn session is always an option. Light-filled and organic - these are always a great option for your new baby.

Does your home hold a special place in your heart? Are you drawn to more editorial portraits with lifestyle details? This may be the perfect spot for your new baby's portraits.

My South Charlotte Newborn Photography studio is the perfect cozy spot for timeless newborn portraits, where we can focus on the connection you have to your baby.

Kind Words

"Amanda has a knack for classic, timeless style, resulting in beautiful photos worth cherishing for generations. Our family appreciated how positive and relaxed she kept the environment, even with the chaos of three young children with big personalities. She captured our family perfectly, and we are forever grateful for her talent! An added bonus is her excellent communication leading up to, and after, the session."

- Lauren (Charlotte Mama)

Let’s Chat

Choosing a newborn photographer can be as overwhelming as choosing a wedding photographer (and trust me, I've been there since I was a wedding photographer in Charlotte for 10 years!)

I would love to make this a simpler process for you, even if you decide I'm not the photographer for you.

I'd love to chat and learn more about your family and all the sweet memories you'd like to document.
