Why You Should Book a Newborn Session Now: A Photographer’s Perspective

Hi, I’m Jessica Bridgewater, and I specialize in family photos and portraits. I specifically enjoy capturing the timeless beauty of newborn photography. If you’re expecting a baby soon, you might already have a long to-do list. There are nurseries to decorate, baby gear to buy, and names to decide on! And as a mom of four myself, I know how tired you are, mama! So I’m here to remind you of something that may not be on your list yet—booking a newborn photography session.

Time Is Fleeting—Capture It While You Can

Those first few weeks of your baby’s life are a blur of sweet moments, sleepless nights, and constant changes. Newborn photography is designed to freeze those precious early moments—the tiny fingers, the sleepy smiles, the way they curl up so snugly. These moments pass quickly, and within a blink, your newborn will start to grow and change. With a professional session, you’ll have beautifully crafted memories to look back on forever.

Safety and Experience Matter

As a professional photographer, I understand that your baby’s safety is your number one priority. That’s why I use techniques specifically designed to pose newborns in safe and comfortable positions. I have years of experience working with babies, and I prioritize your baby’s comfort throughout the session. My goal is to create stunning images while keeping your little one safe and secure.

A Calm, Stress-Free Experience for You

Let’s face it: newborns can be unpredictable, and trying to snap perfect photos yourself can quickly become overwhelming. I’ve designed my sessions to be relaxing and stress-free for new parents. From the warm, cozy environment in my studio to the flexible scheduling around feedings and naps, I make sure you and your baby are at ease throughout the entire process. You get to sit back and enjoy the experience while I handle the rest!

Tailored to Your Family’s Style

Every family has their unique style, and I love working with parents to create sessions that reflect that. Whether you want soft, minimalistic images with neutral tones or vibrant, personality-filled photos with adorable props, I’ll work with you to bring your vision to life. It’s your baby, your story, and your memories—we’ll make sure the photos reflect exactly what you want.

It’s One Less Thing to Worry About Later

Once your baby arrives, life gets busy—really busy. If you book your newborn session during pregnancy, it’s one less thing to think about when you’re in the whirlwind of new parenthood. I’ll plan everything in advance- even to the point of having your newborn’s wardrobe selected for you! On the day, I’ll be there to guide you through the process. All you’ll have to do is show up and enjoy the session with your little one.


Booking a newborn session is more than just a chance to capture adorable photos; it’s about preserving the magic of this fleeting time in your life. I would love to help you create those lasting memories. Let’s work together to document this incredible moment for your family.

Feel free to contact me to chat about your vision, ask questions, or lock in your session date. I can’t wait to meet you and your little one soon!

Warmly,
Jessica
