The morning light filtered softly through the nursery window in Claire’s home.
Her baby stretched gently in her arms while her toddler climbed onto the bed beside her, curious and quiet. No one rushed. No one performed.
They were simply together.
During her in-home newborn session, everything unfolded slowly—no stiff poses, no forced smiles.
I worked calmly and intuitively, creating space for the moments that mattered most.
Years ago, when I was being photographed with my own newborn, I remember feeling like I had to hold it all together. What I really needed was someone to guide me and create a space where I could simply be—whether that looked like quiet moments, joyful tears, or everything in between.
That experience shaped everything I do.
As a Portland newborn photographer, my goal isn’t just to take photos. It’s to create a calm, supportive space where you can slow down and truly be present with your baby.
Because years from now, you won’t just see your newborn photos.
You’ll remember what it felt like to hold them this small.
If this feels like the kind of experience you’ve been hoping for, you can learn more about the experience I’ve thoughtfully created below.

FAQ's
When do we schedule a newborn photography session?
Sessions typically take place within the first two weeks after your baby arrives, when newborns are still especially sleepy and snuggly.
However, lifestyle newborn sessions can also be beautiful several weeks after birth.
Can we include siblings in newborn photos?
Your newborn session isn’t just about your baby. It’s about documenting your growing family.
Older siblings are encouraged to join in for cuddles, kisses, and the quiet curiosity that comes with meeting their new baby.
Where should we have our newborn photos taken?
Your home is the perfect setting for newborn photography.
The nursery you carefully prepared, the cozy couch where you rock your baby, the bed where your toddler climbs up beside you — these spaces tell the story of your baby’s first days.
What should we wear for your newborn session?
I recommend soft, neutral tones and comfortable clothing that keeps the focus on your baby and the connection within your family. Check out my blog on what to wear for newborn photos.
Do I need to prepare my home for a newborn session?
Not much at all. The beauty of in-home newborn photography is that we use the spaces you already live in. A room with soft window light — often the nursery, bedroom, or living room is perfect. I’ll guide you through any simple adjustments when I arrive.
How long do newborn photoshoots last?
Newborn sessions are intentionally relaxed and usually last about ninety minutes. This allows plenty of time for feedings, diaper changes, and soothing your baby so the session feels calm and un-rushed for everyone.
Jaime photographed both of our newborn babies...
"Jaime balances candid moments while simultaneously providing advice/hands on assistance to compose the perfect shot, which I’ve found very helpful. I had a hard time picking which prints to frame because there were so many good ones to choose from!"

Such a positive experience every time!
Jaime did our newborn pictures for both of my kiddos - and we had such a positive experience every time. She's so bubbly and fun, making the whole session relaxing and enjoyable. She has great ideas for both posed and non-posed pictures and also is more than happy to accommodate any specific ideas you may have.
The pictures all four times turned out amazing! We highly recommend her to anyone for their photography needs!
