The Newborn Experience
Documenting the beginning — honestly, gently and without rush.
My approach to newborn photography…
I approach newborn photography with a timeless, classic perspective—so that years from now, when you look back at these images, you won’t see trends or props. You’ll simply see your child, exactly as they were in those earliest days.
My sessions are intentionally baby-led, meaning we move at your baby’s pace and honor what they need in each moment. If they’re hungry, we pause to feed. If they need a change, we take our time. And if they’re most content in your arms, that’s exactly where they’ll stay—there is no pressure for anything else.
You don’t need to worry about knowing what to do in front of the camera. I’ll gently guide and prompt you throughout the session, creating natural, connected moments while capturing a beautiful variety of images of your baby and your family.
Siblings and pets are always welcome—they’re an important part of your story, too.

A little more about Margaret…
I began photographing families over a decade ago, when my sister welcomed her two boys into the world. I had a nice camera, but had no idea how to use it. I remember being in the hospital wanting to take photos of my nephew, and being so frustrated not being able to photograph in a way that really showed him exactly as he was. This is what led to me exploring online camera classes so I could get the photo out of my head and onto my camera…and I have yet to stop photographing babies and children.
I’ve always been drawn to imagery that feels effortless - never forced or overly posed. My sessions are rooted in connection, allowing space for genuine laughter, quiet cuddles, and the natural rhythm of your family to shine through. This approach helps everyone feel at ease, especially little ones, and creates photographs that feel both honest and timeless.
I understand that preparing for a session can feel like a feat in itself - especially after just giving birth. My intention is to make the entire experience feel seamless and relaxed from beginning to end.
There is nothing I love more than finishing a session with a family who feels joyful, connected, and excited to see their story beautifully preserved.
