Studio Newborn Session in Greene County NY Newborn Photographer

It’s always an honor when families come back to me for each major life milestone. I first photographed this mom and dad for their wedding, then their maternity session — and now their newborn session. Full circle moments like this are why I love what I do.

This little lady arrived with a bold personality from the start. She kept her eyes wide open for most of the session, which isn’t the most common newborn behavior — but it’s definitely not a problem.

When Babies Stay Awake During Newborn Sessions

Many newborns naturally drift into deep sleep, but some babies are simply more alert and curious. When that happens, experience matters.

With 16 years of newborn photography training and hands-on practice, I know how to slow the pace, read baby’s cues, and gently adjust posing and flow so everything stays safe and comfortable.

An awake baby doesn’t mean a failed session — it just means we pivot.

Pivoting to a Baby-Led Session

Instead of forcing sleep, we focused on:

soothing transitions
gentle cuddling
natural, calm poses
capturing those curious eyes and tiny features

The result is still soft, timeless, and meaningful — just with a little more personality.

A Reminder for Nervous Moms

If you’re worried your baby might not “behave” during a newborn session, here’s the truth:

🤍 your baby doesn’t need to be “perfect”
🤍 patience and training make all the difference
🤍 beautiful images are always possible

Your baby leads the way — I take care of the rest.
