Your Newborn Photography Consultation

When you contact us in search of a newborn photographer, we begin with a relaxed and friendly consultation. This gives you time to share your vision and ask important questions. At the same time, we explain what to expect from your session. Whether you prefer soft, natural tones or bold, colourful backdrops, we want to hear your ideas. During this conversation, we review your 90-minute studio session and outline the full process. In addition, we ask about colours, themes, and personal items. For example, you may bring a favourite blanket, heirloom, or handmade accessory. Because of this planning, we can prepare the studio in advance. As a result, your session flows smoothly and stays comfortable for your baby. Most importantly, this preparation helps create meaningful and personalized newborn portraits.

A Comfortable and Cozy Studio Experience

When you arrive for your newborn photography session at our Thunder Bay studio, everything is ready for you and your baby. Before you arrive, we prepare the space with care. We set the room temperature to stay warm and cozy. At the same time, we play soft lullaby music to create a calming atmosphere. As a result, your newborn can relax and settle naturally. In addition, this peaceful environment helps sessions flow smoothly. We recommend bringing your baby in a favourite outfit so we can begin right away. After capturing those first images, we transition to a second look or gentle wrapping. Meanwhile, we use high-quality wraps for classic newborn portraits. Most importantly, every detail supports your baby’s comfort and safety.

Creating Timeless Newborn Portraits with Family

During the 90-minute session, we use solid-coloured backdrops, soft baskets, and carefully chosen props to create unique, timeless images. At the same time, we capture photos of your baby with both parents, because those moments are just as special as the solo shots. Want to include siblings or grandparents? We welcome all family members to join and be part of this special day. Our sessions are flexible and baby-led. We allow plenty of time for outfit changes, feeding breaks, and cuddles. Because babies follow their own schedules, we go at your baby’s pace. As a result, everyone stays comfortable while creating beautiful memories.

Capturing Family Connection

We encourage parents to be part of the session, not just behind the camera, but in the photos too. Whether it’s holding your baby close, letting them wrap tiny fingers around yours, or including a meaningful family item, these touches add emotional depth. At the same time, your presence makes the images more personal, authentic, and heartfelt. As a result, we capture the love and connection that defines your growing family, creating memories you’ll treasure forever.

Baby Photoshoot

Capturing the innocence and beauty of newborns is always a heartwarming experience. My recent baby photo shoot with Simar Singh, his wife, and their precious daughter Elaahi was no exception. As they stepped into the studio on a crisp April afternoon. The air was filled with anticipation and joy.

Elaahi, only a few days old, was a tiny bundle of cuteness, her eyes wide with curiosity as she explored her new surroundings. Before diving into the shoot, I took the time to ensure she felt comfortable and at ease in my presence. After all, it was her first photoshoot. We wanted everything to be just perfect for her and her loving family.
