“For all the things my hands have held the best by far is you” -Unknown
From the very first moment you see your newborn baby – your world will change. And before you know it your sleepy, squishy baby will be rolling over, crawling and walking. You only have one opportunity to capture your newborn and all of their newness. Savor these moments forever with timeless newborn photography. At Image Photography, Matt and Shea specialize in fine art newborn portraits. Our studio is stocked with props, hats and everything you need to create beautiful, custom images of your baby.
About Our Work
Shea and myself are both photographers with the PPA(Professional Photographers Association) and know the techniques that are used to not only capture your baby’s first portraits, but to also keep them safe during the session. Our studio is also a fully insured professional studio, so when you step inside for your session, you and your family can sit back and enjoy this special event.
You will find our styles, in the avenue of newborn photography, a little different than everyone else, but since when is different a bad thing? I offer a session that not only showcases amazing props, family heirlooms and other items that you would like involved in your session, I also can offer a minimalistic approach to your session, where there are no props, just blankets bows and baby.

signature newborn session
The Newborn Signature Session takes the newborn experience to the next level. First, we schedule the studio for 3 hours so we can take our time with your little one. Sometimes it takes the entire 3 hours, and sometimes we capture all the shots within 2 and other times we use all 3 hours, but this gives you and your baby time to not rush, and take our time. It allows time for feeding and more time for different scenes to be created. This session includes pictures with siblings and parents, naked baby, wrapped baby and custom scene creation.

Session Details
The ideal time for your newborn session is between 7-14 days of life.
Newborn sessions include a phone consultation, access to our numerous props, bows, wraps and blankets and furniture. Your session also includes in-person Creation and Selection Session where you will be shown your amazing finished images and create your very own custom collection with various offerings such as wall art, albums, prints and digital items.
The session fee for the newborn session depends on which session option you select, we offer a simplistic and signature newborn session.
When returning to for your Creation and Selection Session about a week or so after your photos are captured, I offer custom wall artwork such as gallery wraps, metal prints and heritage wood creations, albums that are customized in coffee table format featuring your images elegantly designed, custom framing and other custom portrait products. Digital collections are also available. I will help you choose the the best products to compliment your home and your style.
Minimalistic Newborn shots feature more of just baby, features, expresses and posing. But each pose is captured to showcase them and only them.
Showcasing props with your baby is one of my favorite things to do, it can be about something you love, or it can be something to accent their nursery. the sky is the limit.
Themed Shoots are so much fun!!!
Not only to we encourage you to add a little extra to your newborn session, we also help you. Bring in, or inform us what you are bringing in and we will do our best to create something super special just for you. Being a fan of comic books, Harry Potter, anime or even Dr. Suess fan gets you extra points in my book. Check out some of the unique shots we have created with some of Mom and Dads favorite things.
