Newborn Sessions
What to Expect:
- Scheduling: Reach out to us to book as early as your 2nd trimester. Our newborn session is for babies that are 5-15 days old, this time frame is key to newborn photography, as the baby sleeps more deeply during these early days. We also have a different style session for babies up to 4 months old, be sure to let us know as we can accommodate for different posing and incorporate family for these sessions.
- Consultation: Before the session, we’ll have a phone consultation to get to know your family, discuss your vision, and plan out the session details. We will also provide you with a Questionnaire so that we can tailor your session to your preferences, as well as a Preparation Guide that will help you plan the morning of the session.
- Date : We will book your session for an estimated 10 days after the due date and once baby arrives you will notify us so that can reshedule as needed.
- Time: Be prepared for the session to last 1-2 hours. Feed baby just before leaving the house, this will ensure that baby naps with a happy full tummy. We provide a comfortable and calm environment for your baby, so there’s plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and capturing those adorable shots.
- Outfits: We will provide a selection of outfits, wraps, blankets, and hats to compliment your baby’s look. Our studio provides a curated wardrobe of newborn outfits to ensure that every baby looks their best for the session. Many store-bought outfits often don’t fit properly or are made from materials that don’t photograph well. Our pieces are specifically chosen for their soft fabrics, perfect fit, and timeless, flattering designs. This allows us to focus on creating beautiful, cohesive images without any distractions, giving you photos you’ll cherish forever.
- Temperature: We maintain a cozy and warm environment for your newborn’s comfort. Dress comfortably yourself, as the studio will be quite warm to keep your baby content.
- Feeding: Newborns often feed frequently, so it’s a good idea to have extra milk on hand.
- Comfort and Safety: Safety is our top priority and we’ve created a safe and comfortable environment for babies. We maintain a strict adherence to safety protocols, using gentle techniques and professional equipment to capture those precious moments without compromising your baby’s safety and comfort. We will gently pose your baby to highlight their delicate features, and always handle your baby with the utmost of care.
- Relax: Don’t stress if your baby gets fussy or needs a break. Patience is key, and we’ll work at their pace to ensure beautiful photographs.
Remember, our goal is to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience for you and your newborn. Looking forward to capturing these precious moments for you at Bells & Whistles! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, just let us know.

Meet The Studio Photographer
Hi there! I’m Sarah, the proud owner of Bells & Whistles Photography in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Formerly a wedding photographer for 8 years, I now focus on studio photography, specializing in capturing the beauty of family connections and childhood wonder.
My photography journey began over 15 years ago, inspired by travels with my husband, Chris. Together, we discovered a passion for storytelling through imagery, which has evolved into a love for documenting fleeting moments with sincerity and emotion.
At my studio, I specialize in family, newborn, and maternity photography, and underwater photography. I find joy in capturing the serene movements beneath the surface, creating stunning underwater maternity and family portraits.
Thank you for considering me to capture your family’s precious moments. Let’s embark on this storytelling journey together!
Warm regards,
Sarah
Client Reviews
“I had very high expectations for photos of my newborn baby girl and Sarah hit it out of the park!! She took such adorable and beautiful photos it was impossible to pick which ones to print because I loved them all! She is also a baby whisperer – my baby didn’t cry once because she handled her in such a delicate way (she’s an experienced mom of 2 herself!). Needless to say, we will 100% be back for her 1 year old smash cake photo shoot!! Thanks, Sarah!!“
