I had a friend reach out to me, and get this question all the time: “Do you do newborn sessions?”
And the short answer is: Yes, I do!
But if you’re picturing a baby wrapped like a burrito and nestled in a basket with a headband bigger than their head… that’s not quite my thing.

My style is what I like to call real-life magic. It’s storytelling. It’s emotional. It’s close-ups of teeny toes, sleepy yawns, and the way you instinctively run your hand down your baby’s back. It’s capturing the way your partner looks at you when you’re rocking your little one at 2 weeks old—messy bun, tired eyes, and all.

These aren’t studio-styled portraits with props, flower crowns, or babies propped up on pillows.
Instead, I focus on natural moments, honest emotion, and connection.

So, What Does a Newborn Session With Me Look Like?

We’re usually in your home, where you’re most comfortable. I might catch baby in the crib just waking up. Maybe there’s a moment where you’re nursing or bottle-feeding. Or your partner’s curled up with baby on the couch while you sneak in a hot coffee (finally).

We’ll get those beautiful little details—tiny hands wrapped around your finger, soft baby skin, the way your body holds them like you’ve known them forever.
It’s less “say cheese” and more “you’re doing great, let’s freeze this moment in time.”

What If You Were Hoping for the Wrapped-Up Look?

Totally valid! Those posed newborn sessions with intricate wraps and set-ups are an art of their own—and I know some amazing photographers who specialize in just that. If that’s more your vibe, I’d be happy to send some referrals your way.

But if you’re looking for something more laid-back, heartfelt, and centered around your story as a growing family… I’m your girl.

Doljabi, korean first birthday for baby Gemma, where she chooses her future, she chooses a stethoscope for physican. Mom holds her in her traditional korean dress.

Ever wondered what tradition, adorable baby giggles, and a dash of destiny look like? Let me take you behind the scenes of Gemma’s first birthday doljabi. It was a vibrant celebration rooted in Korean culture and bursting with love.
Spoiler alert: It involves tiny hands choosing their future career path, squishy baby cheeks, and some of the best food I’ve ever tasted.

In Korean culture, a doljabi is more than just a birthday—it’s a cherished tradition that celebrates a baby’s milestone first year while offering a peek into their future. During this event, various symbolic items are placed before the birthday child. The baby then picks one, and each item hints at their potential path in life: a gavel for a future judge, a paintbrush for an artist, a microphone for a musician, a stethoscope for a doctor, and even thread for longevity. Watching little Gemma reach out with her tiny fingers was the cutest—and possibly most suspenseful—moment of the day, especially since there was a raffle to make it extra fun. And guess what? Little Miss Gemma—with her squishable cheeks and gummy smile—reached straight for the stethoscope. Future doctor in the making? We’ll have to wait and see, but the room erupted in cheers and laughter when she made her pick.

Stephanie and Robert hosted Gemma’s doljabi at The East Norwalk Association Library. The venue was intimate yet lively, filled with family, friends, and the warmth of celebration. Gemma, dressed in a stunning traditional Hanbok, looked like a little princess. Her parents, also dressed in Hanboks, radiated grace and pride as they shared this special day with their loved ones.

Gemma’s at the perfect age where everything is fascinating, and is full of personality. She lit up every time I sang “Wheels on the Bus” to catch her attention.
