We photograph:
- Whole family first
- Baby & siblings (so big bro & sis are doooone)
- Mom, Dad & baby
- Mom & baby
- Dad & Baby
- Nursery details
- Baby swaddled
- Baby Details

What if we missed the first week window?
After an expected stint in the NICU, Mama called to see if it was too late for newborn photos.
I say NEVER!
Yes, it was a little different because at six weeks old, baby was a bit bigger and more awake than he would have been the first week of life.
But this is life and nothing is guaranteed. We roll with the punches!
If you’ve missed the first week for any reason, reach out. I’ve done 3 month newborn sessions and 4 month family sessions. You’ll never regret having the photos, but you may regret waiting.
Why do a newborn photoshoot at all?
Newborn photography Oahu freezes the dramatic growth of a baby’s first few weeks. They change so much in those first ten days, but when its gone, its gone for good. They don’t shrink, and there’s not a repeat button. Keep scrolling to see what this could look like for you!

Hey! I’m Alison, lifestyle photographer, recovering homeschool mama of 4 boys circus and USMC family.
I’ve been photographing families for 12 years. One thing I’ve learned: photos never lose their value.
But the thought of dealing with 3 hour studio photoshoot is just too much.
Not only do you have to worry about getting everyone dressed and to the studio on time, but spaces can be cramped and uncomfortable – and take forever!
In home newborn photos are half the time and capture the intimate details that studios simply can’t.
How Newborn Photos Work
- We book your due date. I only take 2 families per week to leave plenty of wiggle room. Baby’s gonna do what baby’s gonna do! We get wardrobe set before delivery.
2. After baby arrives and everyone is home, we set the actual photo session day. Newborn sessions are weekday mornings usually around 10am and last up 90 minutes and are easy and painless.
3. Two to three weeks after photo day we gather again virtually for your Gallery Reveal & Order appointment! Buy only what you love. Digital files come with the print products.
Newborn Photos can seem daunting
In-home newborn photography near me can seem daunting right after delivery, especially if this is your first time, or you’re not sure how you’ll recover from a C-section.
- Will you feel up to photos?
- How are you going to look?
- What state will the house be in?!
Don’t worry, we don’t set the photo date until after everyone is home and healthy. You don’t need to declutter the whole house, and I’ll be there to help!
