Lifestyle Newborn Photo Session
Those first days with your baby are a blur of tiny fingers, sleepy snuggles, and learning life together. My goal is to preserve this season exactly as it feels, with photographs that capture the love, connection, and little moments you'll want to remember long after they've passed.
I'm a Natick newborn photographer serving families in Natick, Wellesley, Wayland, Needham, Framingham, Sherborn, and surrounding MetroWest Boston communities. I specialize in relaxed, lifestyle newborn sessions in the comfort of your home or at a beautiful outdoor location. No stiff poses. No pressure. No rushing your baby. I'll gently guide your family while following your baby's lead, creating natural images that feel like you.
Before your session, I'll get to know your family through a short questionnaire so I can learn about your home, your family, and what matters most to you. Every session is personalized because no two families are the same.
If you're drawn to genuine moments over perfectly posed portraits, you're in the right place. My sessions are baby-led and family-focused. We pause for feedings, diaper changes, toddler snack breaks, or whatever your little ones need. You don't need a perfectly clean house, a sleepy baby, or children who sit still the whole time. I'll take care of the guidance so you can focus on loving on your newest little one.
Photo sessions are designed to feel easy and unrushed, with gentle guidance so you never have to worry about what to do
I use the term newborn session loosely on purpose. While some families choose to schedule their session within the first two weeks after birth, others prefer to wait until their baby is a little older. There is no right or wrong time to document this season of your family's life.
If those first few weeks felt like a blur and you didn't get around to scheduling photos, you haven't missed your chance. Every stage of your baby's first year is worth remembering, and each brings its own kind of beauty. Whether your baby is two weeks, two months, or somewhere in between, we'll create meaningful images that tell your family's story.
I also love documenting the anticipation before your baby arrives. Maternity sessions can be added to your newborn session, making it easy to preserve both chapters of your growing family's story. Learn more about my maternity photo sessions.
Most families book during the second trimester to ensure availability. We'll reserve your date on my calendar, then finalize your session once your baby arrives.
No need to pack up a newborn or rush out the door. I'll come to you with everything we need for a relaxed session .
You don't need to know how to pose. I'll guide you into natural interactions that feel comfortable while capturing the connection between your growing family.
Within a few weeks, you'll receive a beautifully edited online gallery filled with timeless images that tell the story of these first precious days together.
You don't have to spend the morning cleaning your house.
Your toddler doesn't have to smile on command.
Your baby doesn't have to sleep.
We'll take breaks whenever we need to. If your toddler wants a snack, we'll stop for a snack. If the baby needs to eat, we'll pause. If the dog wants to join in, even better.
I'll gently guide you through the entire session so you never have to wonder what to do. The result is a relaxed experience and photographs that feel like your family, just as you are.
These sessions are up to 90 minutes and include 50 edited digital images.
NEWBORN SESSIONS are $965

I'd love to hear about your growing family and help you plan a relaxed newborn session that feels natural from beginning to end.
Outdoor newborn sessions have become one of my favorite ways to photograph growing families. If you love open fields, tall grass, wildflowers, and warm evening light, they offer a beautiful alternative to an in-home session while still keeping the focus on your family's connection.

Sara is an absolute delight to work with & did a wonderful job taking our family newborn photos. Before our session she was super organized in her communication, setting expectations, giving tips & asking helpful questions to make sure we would be happy with the shoot. While at our house she captured away, getting candids & helped us to feel comfortable in front of the camera. Love how they were edited and came out! Happy all around & would totally recommend!"
HAPPY ALL AROUND & WOULD TOTALLY" RECOMMEND!

Some families want to photograph their new baby within two weeks of being home and others want to wait a few months. There is no right answer for when to schedule a photo session. Documenting a family is beautiful and special at any stage.
I love flowy dresses for mom! They are flattering for almost all body types, add great movement and texture to photos. When you book with me I will send you tips on dressing the whole family and will help you choose outfits! I even have a client closet that you can borrow from!
indoor newborn photo session take place in the comfort of your home.
for outdoor sessions, I have many favorite spots for outdoor newborn photo sessions. Once you book I will send you a list to choose from or if you have somewhere in mind let me know and I will check it out.
Book your session as soon as possible after you hit the second trimester. My outdoor session schedule fills up months in advance, especially in the fall so I want to make sure I get your session on the Calendar! I have more flexibility with in home sessions on weekday morning.
My travel radius is a 30 minute drive from Natick Massachusetts
A signed contract and 50% initial payment are required to book your session
That's completely okay! My sessions are baby-led, so there's no expectation for your baby to sleep. Awake babies make beautiful eye contact, curious expressions, and sweet stretches. We'll follow your baby's cues and take breaks whenever they're needed.
Toddlers don't need to sit still or smile on command. I expect little ones to explore, snack, cuddle, and take breaks. Some of my favorite images come from playful, unscripted moments, and I'll gently guide your family while keeping the experience relaxed and fun.
Not at all. We only need a few areas with good natural light, and I'm happy to help move a chair, straighten a blanket, or clear a nightstand if needed. Real homes tell your family's story, and perfection is never the goal.
No need to worry! We ill pick a tentative date based on your due date. Once baby is here we will either confirm or adjust the date.
