Tiny Moments, Big Memories — What Our Families Share

Newborn Photography FAQ

When is the best time for newborn photos?

The ideal time for a newborn photoshoot is within the first 7-13 days after birth. During this period, babies are typically sleepier and more flexible, which allows us to safely capture those peaceful, curled-up poses you’ll cherish forever.

We recommend booking your newborn session during your pregnancy’s second trimester. This ensures we reserve a spot on our calendar around your due date, especially since weekends and peak dates fill quickly.

Absolutely! We love capturing the incredible bond between your newborn and their family. Parents and siblings are always welcome to join part of the session.

Newborn sessions are held in our cozy home studio in Jacksonville, FL, designed to be a warm, clean, and peaceful space for both baby and parents. Here, we have full control over lighting, temperature, and comfort to ensure the best experience for your little one.

Not at all. We provide a thoughtfully curated selection of wraps, blankets, headbands, hats, and props so all you need to bring is your baby. We’ll take care of styling everything with a timeless, elegant touch.

That depends on the package you choose. Our Premium Newborn Session includes portraits with parents and siblings, capturing your growing family together. However, our Mini Newborn Session is designed to focus solely on your baby and does not include family photos.

Yes. Your baby’s safety is always our top priority. We specialize in newborn photography and have completed extensive workshops on newborn posing and safety. Every session moves at your baby’s pace, with plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and comforting as needed.

I always recommend that newborn sessions take place in my cozy home studio in Jacksonville, where I have everything needed to create a calm, seamless experience. Here, you’ll have privacy to relax and focus entirely on your little one, while I handle all the details.

If there’s one word that perfectly describes newborn sessions, it’s patience — spelled P A T I E N C E. These sessions are intentionally slow-paced and relaxed so your baby feels at ease.

I typically schedule sessions in the morning around 10 AM, and they last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending entirely on your baby’s needs. This allows for plenty of breaks to feed, soothe, and cuddle. No two babies are the same — they set the pace, and I gladly follow. If we need more time, that’s absolutely fine. Your comfort and your baby’s well-being always come first, and you’ll see just how enjoyable the process can be.

Yes! You’ll receive high-quality, retouched digital images with full printing rights. We offer different package options so you can choose what best fits your family’s needs.

After your session, you’ll receive a proofing gallery of unedited images so you can select your favorites. Once chosen, we carefully retouch these images to perfection. Your final gallery will be ready within 4 weeks.

No, we do not deliver unedited images. You will receive only your carefully selected, fully retouched photos — finished with our signature style to ensure they are timeless, polished, and truly beautiful.

We’d love to hear from you! If you have any other questions or would like to discuss your photography needs in more detail, please contact us.

Yes, You can pay with a credit cardZelleCashApp, Cash, Venom, we even also have AfterPay with which you can pay in 4 installments!

Yes! I have a beautiful collection of hats, baskets, blankets, wraps, and other carefully selected props. In fact, 99% of what you see in my newborn photos is available for your baby’s session.

Most of the time, newborns are photographed without clothing, in a diaper, or with simple little shorts so the focus stays entirely on them — the true star of every photo. I also have a variety of newborn outfits and accessories. So don’t worry about a thing; just bring your baby (and a pacifier if you use one). I’ll take care of the rest.

Yes. Every final portrait is carefully edited and retouched to highlight your baby’s natural beauty, while preserving a timeless, elegant look.

The most important thing to know

Book during pregnancy — not after the baby arrives

The ideal newborn photography window is 5 to 14 days old. After 2–3 weeks, babies become more alert and less flexible for the posed sessions that create the portraits parents love. Oswar takes a limited number of sessions per week — book during your second trimester (weeks 20–28) to secure your date. He'll adjust for your actual birth date, whether early, on-time, or late.
