Newborn Photography in Lapeer County

A calm, guided experience for first days worth remembering

Newborn photography featuring a sleeping baby wrapped in a cozy brown bear-themed knit blanket with greenery accents.

Those first days at home feel like a blur. Tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, soft noises you don’t even realize you’ll miss someday.


My newborn sessions are designed to slow things down just enough to preserve this season without adding stress to an already full plate.


If you’re a first-time parent wondering how you’ll manage photos on top of everything else, you’re in the right place. I guide you through the entire process so this feels less like another task and more like something taken care of for you.

A Newborn Experience That Feels Easy

(Even if you're running on very little sleep)

Newborn photography shouldn’t feel rushed, overwhelming, or complicated. My approach is calm, baby-led, and centered around your comfort.


Most sessions take place in my studio, where everything is prepared ahead of time. For families choosing my largest package, in-home sessions are also available, offering a quiet, familiar environment during those early days.


Every session includes:

  • A gentle, unhurried pace
  • Time for feeding, changing, and soothing
  • Guidance on what to expect before you arrive
  • A photographer who understands newborn safety and flow

You don’t need to know how your baby will behave. That’s part of my job.

Preparing for Your Newborn Session

What’s available to you and what you don’t need to worry about

You don’t need to buy anything special or stress about what to bring. Much of what’s used during your session is already available to you.


I offer a small, thoughtfully curated client closet for newborn and milestone sessions, as well as an optional Amazon storefront for parents who prefer to plan or purchase pieces ahead of time.


Everything is chosen with comfort, simplicity, and timeless imagery in mind.

The Client Closet


The client closet includes a rotating selection of:

  • Newborn wraps and simple outfits
  • Neutral textures and tones
  • Milestone-friendly pieces for growing babies


These pieces are available for use during your session and are selected to photograph beautifully without overwhelming your baby or your images.

Amazon Storefront


For parents who love to plan ahead, I’ve created an Amazon storefront with session-friendly clothing and accessories I recommend and use regularly.


This is completely optional and designed as a helpful resource, especially for:

  • Coordinating sibling outfits
  • Simple parent wardrobe ideas
  • Neutral, photo-ready baby pieces


You’re never required to purchase anything. Think of it as a guide, not a checklist.

Testimonials

A newborn baby sleeps peacefully wrapped in an olive green swaddle blanket against a brown textured backdrop.

I have to say our photo experience was wonderful!

From the beginning with inquiring about photos, and getting a day situated. Our baby was born 6 days after our due date. Gabby kept in touch with us to figure out what day would be best.

When the photos were taken she made our kids so comfortable, they enjoyed being there and getting their picture taken.

Gabby was so gentle with our baby and made us feel safe, comfortable and worry free. Watching her take our pictures was amazing. It’s a true art form. She is very talented.

Her prices are very reasonable. The time to get our photos was also wonderful. We will definitely be getting more photos with Gabby! Thank you so much for catching these special moments for us.🥰❤️🥰

Thoughtful Editing That Honors Your Baby


Newborn skin is still learning how to exist in the world. Flakiness, redness, baby acne, and tiny scratches are all completely normal.


During the editing process, I gently retouch temporary skin changes while leaving permanent features exactly as they are. Birthmarks, stork bites, and unique details that make your baby them are never removed unless asked.


This ensures your final images feel:

  • Soft
  • Timeless
  • True to your baby
