Bringing your baby into the world is one of life’s greatest joys and photographing those tiny details is a privilege I take very seriously. Newborns are delicate, with unique physical needs and limitations. From temperature regulation and airways to circulation and startle reflexes everything must be handled with intention, patience, and extensive training.

That’s why I’m proud to share that I’ve recently completed the Newborn Safety Guidelines & Assessment for Photographers, led by internationally recognized newborn photography mentor Kelly Brown. Newborn Safety Certificate

This certification reinforces my commitment to providing a safe, calm, and professional experience for your family from start to finish.

What This Means for You and Your Baby

When you trust me with your newborn’s first portraits, you can rest assured that:

✨ Every pose is safely supported — no forcing baby into unnatural positions 🌡️ Studio environment is controlled for warmth and comfort 🧼 Cleanliness and sanitation protocols are followed each session ⏳ Baby-led pacing ensures comfort comes first 🤍 Hands-on safety is always prioritized over getting “the shot”. Your baby’s wellbeing matters more than any prop, pose, or backdrop.

Elevating the Art of Newborn Photography

Photography is both a craft and a responsibility. Alongside continued education in posing, lighting, and creative design, I believe safety knowledge must grow just as much — especially for the tiniest clients we serve. This certification reflects my ongoing commitment to professionalism and care, so your family can relax and enjoy the experience knowing your newborn is in trained hands.
