THE NEWBORN
EXPERIENCE

CAPTURING NEW LIFE

Beautiful, timeless portraits
of your Sweet new baby.

Newborn sessions are designed to be calm, unrushed, and centered around your baby’s needs. From the moment you arrive, the focus is on creating a comfortable environment where you can relax and simply enjoy this time together. Sessions move at your baby’s pace, with plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and cuddling.

With a simple, clean approach and an emphasis on connection, I create images that feel natural and timeless. The goal is beautiful photographs that reflect the closeness, tenderness, and quiet beauty of those earliest days with your baby.

1. SAY HELLO

Ready to start planning your newborn session? Fill out the short contact form just below and tell me a little about your growing family. I’ll send over my newborn session options and help you get started.

2. MAKE IT OFFICIAL

Once you’ve chosen the session that feels right for your family, we’ll take care of the simple booking details and reserve a tentative session date based on your due date. That way, your place is already on my calendar before baby arrives.

3. BABY ARRIVES

Once your baby is here, just let me know. We’ll confirm your tentative session date and adjust it if needed based on baby’s arrival, so there’s no pressure to predict exactly when your little one will make their debut.

4. YOUR NEWBORN SESSION

Your newborn photography session takes place in my bright, peaceful studio in Fall Branch, conveniently located just 15 minutes from Johnson City. Sessions are completely baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, soothing, diaper changes, and breaks whenever your little one needs them.

I provide wraps, props, and everything we need for baby. Parents and siblings are always welcome to be included so we can create a beautiful mix of timeless newborn portraits and meaningful family images.

5. YOUR FINISHED GALLERY

After your session, I carefully refine and perfect each image in my warm, timeless, true-to-life style, with soft natural tones, beautiful skin tones, and a clean, polished finish.

Your complete gallery will be delivered online within 2–3 weeks, along with a custom mobile app that makes it easy to keep your favorites close and share them with family and friends.

Amazing Experience!

“Taking beautiful pictures of families with young babies is hard, and April nailed it. We had a typical ‘family photo fiasco’ that day and were late to arrive, had forgotten our diaper bag, needed to feed our newborn mid-session, and had a grumpy toddler ready for a nap. Somehow, April still managed to be so patient with us and captured several fantastic pictures of our family and newborn! We will be forever grateful for these precious family treasures.”

Best Decision Ever!

“April goes above and beyond for her clients. She photographed my daughter’s newborn and 6 month pictures, and I’m so glad she was able to capture those moments, doing an excellent job. Can’t wait to get to her one year pictures! I definitely recommend April!”

So Patient With Our Baby

“April did a wonderful job with all of our family photos/newborn photos. I am beyond impressed. She took the extra time to work with some props and things I brought for a backdrop. She was understanding and flexible when the baby wanted to eat constantly. I would definitely work with April again, and would recommend her for your photoshoot too!”
