Newborn photography doesn’t need to be rushed, over-styled, or filled with props to be meaningful. My approach is intentionally simple — calm, baby-led, and focused on connection.
Each session is guided by your baby’s comfort and safety first. Time is built in for feeding, soothing, and breaks as needed, following your newborn’s natural rhythm rather than forcing poses or expressions.
Everything is kept minimal by design: soft, neutral wraps, clean surroundings, and natural light that won’t distract from what matters most — your baby and the way they fit so naturally in your arms. Parents and siblings are always welcome to be part of the session, because those early connections are just as important to remember.
Whether we’re photographing your newborn in my home studio or in the comfort of your own home, the experience is meant to feel unhurried, thoughtful, and easy — especially during those early days when everything already feels like a lot.
A Calm, Baby-Led Newborn Photography Experience
Serving Central Florida Newborn Families
I photograph newborn sessions for families throughout Central Florida, including Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Mary, Sanford, Deltona, and surrounding areas. Sessions take place in my home studio, designed to be calm, private, and completely baby-led.
Newborn sessions are designed to be simple, flexible, and low-stress — because those early days already come with enough moving parts.
Sessions are available either in my home studio or in the comfort of your own home, depending on what feels best for your family. Both options follow the same calm, baby-led approach, with plenty of time built in for feeding, soothing, and breaks as needed. There’s no strict timeline to rush through and no pressure for your baby to “perform.”
Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first few weeks after birth, with flexibility always built in. Every baby is different, and the focus is never on forcing a specific look or moment — only on documenting this season as it naturally unfolds.
There’s no need to prepare anything elaborate. Neutral clothing, simple textures, and a relaxed mindset are more than enough. I’ll guide you gently throughout the session, so you can stay present and comfortable rather than wondering what to do next.
Above all, these sessions are meant to feel calm and supportive — an experience designed to meet you exactly where you are during those early days.
Many families choose to continue documenting milestones as their children grow, and I also offer family photography sessions throughout Central Florida.
Thoughtful planning, gentle guidance, and a pace that puts your baby first.

Newborn Session Inquiry
We chose to use Michelle for our extended family photographs while on vacation in Florida. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with. She was punctual (early), communicative, easy going, and what really matters: the pictures are amazing! We’re having a tough time narrowing it down because there are so many amazing shots! Highly recommend.
Serving families throughout Central Florida, including Lake Mary, Sanford, Winter Park, and surrounding areas.
She engaged with our kids really well and captured amazing images of our family, which isn’t always easy to do with a toddler who doesn’t stop moving! We will definitely book with her again in the future!
One the best photographers I’ve ever dealt with. Not only are her pictures high quality and absolutely gorgeous, but the spirit she brings to the shoot is so joyful and relaxed. I have one kid who does NOT like taking pictures and yet, Michelle’s fun antics made it so she was able to capture the biggest smile ever from a tough customer.
