In-Home Newborn Photographer in New Hampshire

Your baby's first weeks happen at home. Your portraits can, too.

No car seat, no packing, no waiting room. I come to you with everything needed for a calm, posed newborn session, and you get the same timeless portraits my studio clients receive, photographed in the place where your family's story is beginning.

Why families choose in-home

  • You rest. I set up. Recovering from birth is hard enough without a road trip.

  • Your baby stays settled. Familiar sounds, smells and feeding spots mean a calmer, sleepier baby.

  • Your real home in the frame. The nursery, the morning light, and with Silver or Gold, siblings in their pajamas: the details you'll want to remember.

  • Siblings stay comfortable. Toddlers can play in their own space between portraits.

How an in-home session works

  1. Reserve during pregnancy by due date.

  2. Get your preparation guide covering wardrobe, which room works best, and what to have ready.

  3. I arrive and set up near your best window. You don't move furniture or buy anything.

  4. We go at baby's pace: posed newborn sets, then, with Silver or Gold, family portraits, with breaks for feeding and soothing.

  5. I pack everything away, and your home looks the way I found it.

  6. Virtual gallery reveal about 2 to 3 weeks later, where we choose your favorites and, with Silver or Gold, design your album or wall art together.

Do I need a big or perfectly styled home?

No. Almost every home has the light and space needed. I bring the neutral wraps and props that create the timeless look, so what matters is a window and a warm room, not décor.

Safety at home

The same standards as the studio: only safe poses, a parent always within reach, a warm room, and your baby's cues guiding every step.

Prefer the studio?

Studio sessions are also available in my private Merrimack home studio. The address is shared once your session is reserved.

Questions about in-home sessions

Is there a travel fee for in-home newborn sessions?
 

No, not within about 45 minutes of Merrimack, NH, including the North Shore of Massachusetts.

How do I prepare my home for a newborn session?

Clear a small space near your brightest window and warm the room to about 78 to 80°F. Your preparation guide covers the rest.

What if our home is small or dark?

That's okay. I bring my own professional lighting, and I only need a small area.

Can parents, siblings and pets be included?

Parents and siblings, yes, with the Silver and Gold collections (Bronze is baby only). Pets are welcome in the photos for in-home sessions with the Silver or Gold collection. Grandparents are welcome at a sitter session, around 6 to 8 months.

​

Which collections are available for in-home sessions?

Newborn sessions, at home or in studio, start at $525 (Bronze), with Silver ($1,200) and Gold ($1,800) for families who want parents, siblings and heirloom products. See all details.
