Newborn Sessions

What to Expect:

  • Scheduling: Reach out to us to book a session well in advance. Our newborn session is only for baby and are best for babies in their first 2 weeks, so it’s a good idea to schedule while you’re still expecting. This timeframe 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. This helps us tailor the experience to reflect your family’s unique personality. 
  • Time: Be prepared for the session to last 1-2 hours. Bring baby ready for a feeding as soon as you get to the studio, 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 complement your baby’s look. If there’s a certain outfit or prop you’d like to incorporate be sure to let us know, so we can tailor the look and scene to incorporate it. 

  • 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 or formula 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.

Meet The Studio Photographer

Hi, I’m Sarah, a dedicated studio and underwater photographer based in Pembroke Pines, Florida. I’m thrilled to announce the opening of our in-home studio. Rooted in my deep passion for capturing the cherished connections of family, the wonder of childhood and ethereal underwater portraits, this studio serves as a sanctuary of creativity, wonderment, and timeless elegance. 

With a steadfast dedication to preserving fleeting moments, I find solace in documenting narratives that evoke emotion and contemplation. The beauty of family photography, the unforgettable memories of newborns, and the anticipation of maternity moments hold a special place in my heart. 

Yet, my studio is a canvas that extends far beyond the earthbound realm. The allure of underwater photography has been a steadfast muse throughout my life. Within the intimate embrace of our very own pool, I’ve discovered the unique ability to capture the serenity of underwater movements.

In my quest to capture the essence of each child’s unique talents and personality, I create settings that mirror their individuality. With carefully chosen backdrops and props, I endeavor to craft a visual narrative that resonates with their innate brilliance.My journey into the world of photography began over 15 years ago, intertwined with the travels of my now husband, Chris. These shared experiences laid the foundation for my creative exploration, kindling a love for storytelling through imagery, and underwater exploration that continues to burn brightly today.

Whether your heart resonates with the art of photography, the allure of visual storytelling, the precious moments of family connections, or the enchantment of childhood’s wonders, I extend a heartfelt invitation to join me on this captivating journey. Here’s to the unfolding of horizons and the art of encapsulating moments that echo with depth and meaning.

With 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!!
