Newborn Photography That Comes to You – Chaos, Crumbs, and All


Bringing home a new baby is beautiful—and let’s be honest—overwhelming. Between sleepless nights, cluster feeds, and trying to remember the last time you drank your coffee while it was still warm, the idea of packing up a diaper bag and heading to a studio might feel impossible. I get it. That’s why I bring the session to you.


No need to stress about whether your baby is sleeping, crying, feeding, or needing a diaper change. I follow their lead—there’s no ticking clock, no pressure to perform, no need for “perfect.” If baby needs a break, we pause. If your toddler melts down, we can let them go get a snack. If your dog wants to photobomb, I’ll be ready.


Worried about the laundry on the couch or the dishes in the sink? Please don’t be. The lived-in backdrop of your life right now—snack crumbs, cozy clutter, construction dust—tells a story you’ll want to remember more than you think. I speak from experience. When my own kids were born, we were living in a remodel. Walls half-mudded, tools everywhere, and I skipped newborn photos because I thought it wasn’t “photo ready.” I regret that more than any mess.


Your home is exactly where your family’s story is unfolding—and that’s where the magic happens.


Let’s preserve this raw, beautiful chapter—no packing, no pressure, just real life.

Worried Your House Isn’t “Photo-Ready”?

It doesn’t have to be. Newborn life is messy, cozy, and beautifully real—and that’s exactly what I want to document. Your lived-in space tells part of your story, whether you’re surrounded by burp cloths, boxes of wipes, or a couch full of laundry. Perfection isn’t the goal—connection is.


Don’t Feel “Photo-Ready” Yourself?

You just had a baby. You’re tired, healing, and maybe haven’t showered in a couple of days. That’s okay. My in-home newborn sessions are relaxed and baby-led. There’s no pressure to pose or perform. No need for makeup or to hide your postpartum body. I’m here to document honest, loving moments between you and your baby—just as you are. Your children will one day treasure these images of you together.


These Aren’t Just Photos

They’re memories of how life felt in those first wild, beautiful weeks. The sleepless nights, the snuggles, the chaos, the love. It’s not about staged perfection—it’s about preserving this fleeting chapter in the place where your story is unfolding: home.

Testimonial

Ali is so fun, laid back, and easy to work with. She captures amazing images even of our family that includes my photo hating husband and oldest son, haha! I’m always amazed how beautiful her photos are and how easy and quick the time together feels.

Testimonial

We booked with Ali based on a referral from a friend, and really liked the documentary style of her work. I am a huge fan of candids and loved that she was able to meet us at home doing things that we actually do! I think that was my favorite thing about the process too--with a young baby, having someone come to us is always easier. And then getting to have photos taken in our home is just wonderful not just for ease, but to actually preserve this time of our lives as it is, in our actual environment, rather than feeling more staged. We had a really fun time! Things felt casual and relaxed for all of us. We loved the process and our photos so much!

Ali was absolutely amazing, kind and friendly. I was really nervous at first since I'm pretty self conscious and hate getting my picture taken, she was really helpful and calming. great direction for all the photos and I love how they turned out. She listened to my ideas and added her own to make the session perfect! Definitely choose her if you need your photos done!!

Testimonial

What prompted me to book a session with was the authenticity of the photos on your page. You seemed to really capture a family in their true form, and that ended up being my favorite thing about our session. My daughter felt so at ease being herself and playing in front of you. It was truly such a fun time.Sometimes photo shoots can be stress inducing and it was nothing like that. I felt at ease from the moment I booked through the entire process!I loved the photos so much and will cherish them forever. My newborn was captured perfectly as our family adjusted to our new normal in those first few weeks home.

FAQ

 

When should I book my session?

If you are hoping to document your sweet babe when they are brand new, book as soon as you can. I typically schedule for two weeks after your due date, realizing babe may come earlier or you may want a few days later. My weekdays are flexible to reschedule as we know more. My sessions are very go with the flow and don't require a super sleepy baby, so if you are just feeling up for photos at 4-6 weeks, we can still preserve that special newborn love.

What if my older child(ren) don't cooperate?

Children can be so unpredictable. I find moments like these all a part of the process. It is actually in many of these moments that we can see our true connections, love, and emotions shine through. Do what you might usually do and embrace the beauty of the situation. Maybe we let a squirmy child jump it out or run around with a quick game of tag. Maybe you spend time feeding or shushing and rocking your newborn. It's all a part of the story and beauty in this phase of life and deserves to be documented too.

Can our pet participate?

Absolutely! Whether your pet joins for a few key photos at the beginning or the end, or you would like them to be present during the whole session is really up to you. Pets are family!

If you have a pet and don't feel like bringing them for photos, that's ok too!

How long will the session last?

Newborn sessions will last between 60 to 90 minutes give or take. That is really all we need in order to accurately document your connection, emotions, and phase of life now.

When will I see my photos?

Following your session and once full payment has been received, images will be presented to you in a password protected, online proof gallery a few days afterward. Once you make your final selections and paid for any additional images, final edits will be returned within 2-3 weeks. A zip drive for download will then be sent. Feel free to share your images at this point!

How many photos do I get?

Depending on which investment option you choose, you will receive between 20 images (see Sounds So Sweet) to a full gallery of over 80 images (see Get Out of the Grey) presented in an online gallery for you to download. Additional images and package upgrades are also available for purchase

What should we wear?

You don't need to be super matchy matchy, yet somewhat coordinated outfits in mostly neutral tones work great. Adding a pop or two of bold colors enhance your style. All of my clients currently receive access to a free online styling tool upon booking! See @style_and_select on IG for more info.

When is Payment required?

A retainer of 50% is required to secure your date. Remainder is due on the day of the session.

Will my images be on social media?

I love sharing the images I create. Sharing helps my small business a TON. And if for any reason, your family would rather opt out, please let me know and your wish is my command!

Do you travel outside of West Seattle?

Yes! I travel to any Seattle and Burien neighborhood. I am more than happy to travel further within King County, for a $50 travel fee.

When do you do sessions?

I am all about balancing my family life with client work. I therefore, do sessions every other weekend plus a few weekdays. In home sessions occur between the hours of 10am and 2pm for optimal light.

Can other family members participate?

If you already have a grandparent or two or your best friend is visiting from out of town, I am more than happy to include them. If you are looking for more of an extended family session that includes formal portraits, I am happy to include everyone as part of the Get Out of the Grey package (full gallery of over 80 images).

Do you offer a Maternity + Newborn package?

Yes! If you book a maternity and newborn session packages together, you receive a $100 discount. If you are also interested in documenting babies first year or 100th day celebration, you may be interested in a Year in the Life package, which includes beautiful prints and a gorgeous heirloom album.

Can I have a discount?

My return clients receive a $50 discount for a future session. If my sessions aren't within your current budget, please keep an eye out for one of my mini sessions.
