The Miracle of Life in Frames – Preserve Your Most Precious Moments
Pregnancy and the first days of a newborn’s life are extraordinary, fleeting
moments filled with love, emotion, and magic. These are memories that
deserve to be cherished forever.
Maternity and newborn photography is more than just pictures to me—it’s
a story of love, anticipation, and the first beautiful moments together.
I create images full of tenderness, softness, and natural beauty, so you can
relive these memories for a lifetime.
Welcome to my world—a world where every detail matters, and every
photograph becomes a priceless treasure.

The best time to schedule a newborn session is between 5 and 21 days after birth. At this stage, babies are more likely to curl up in “womb-like” poses, stay
asleep longer. What if your baby is already born and older than 3 weeks? Don’t worry, I am happy to photograph bigger babies. There are certain poses
and props that will work very well with bigger babies. It is best to book your newborn photo session
a couple of months before your due date. Please feel free to contact me and book your newborn session.
The session itself - it usually lasts as long as I specified in the package, but it may happen that it will last longer - during this time we not only take photos,
but also cuddle, carry, put to sleep, etc. If you want photos together with your child, it is best to take them
at the beginning or end of the session.
For the session, please bring diapers (minimum 5 pieces), wet wipes, a pacifier
(important, even if the child rarely uses a pacifier or doesn't use it at all), favorite blanket and, if possible, half a small bottle of expressed milk.
Sometimes it's just that the baby is already wrapped and ready for styling, and you still need to feed him a little - so to avoid unwrapping, etc.,
it is worth taking expressed milk or formula.
The last feeding should take place about 1.5 hours before the session (IMPORTANT) and it is best if the baby
has not slept for at least 2-3 hours before the session (you can entertain it, etc.).
We start the session by feeding the baby, or please feed the baby just before leaving the house.
Please do not make any medical appointments before the session, do not make long car rides to the store, etc. (children like to sleep in the car, and a well-
rested child before the session equals trouble). If your baby's skin is peeling a lot, it is worth oiling or creaming the body before the session. All this is
crucial for a newborn session - we want the baby to sleep peacefully and for no one to be stressed when we take photos . :)
Of course, I'm writing about what would be ideal, but if we don't manage to prepare according to the instructions, we'll deal with it :)

The duration of the session depends on how many people participate in it, children often need to get used to the new
place and their new "aunt" first 🙂 . Be patient and understanding with your children in situations of rebellion or embarrassment.
1. Rest & Relaxation
Make sure you are well-rested on the day of the session. Try to avoid any physically demanding activities beforehand, as fatigue can be visible in photos.
A relaxed and refreshed look will enhance the beauty of your images.
2. Hair & Makeup
Your hairstyle should be well-groomed, and your makeup should be your favorite, but not too heavy. I don’t recommend strong, dramatic makeup, as a natural look
photographs best. If needed, I can enhance certain features (like lashes or brows) during post-processing.
3. Skin & Grooming
My camera captures every detail, including fine hairs on the skin. If we plan to showcase your belly, arms, or legs, I recommend taking care of hair removal before the
session. Also, ensure your nails are well-groomed with a neutral polish—simple and elegant is always best.
4. Choosing an outfit
Please bring a dress for yourself and for your daughters or another outfit to be in the photo. There are several beautiful dresses in my studio and if you want to use
them, of course we will choose something for you. Tell me what size you wear
Ideally, your husband would wear a white T-shirt or white shirt paired with beige, navy blue or black pants ( no! jeans)
Clothes without logos, prints, inscriptions and other decorations, as they may distract attention from the nature of the photos.
5. Accessories & Extras
Most photos are taken barefoot, but you can bring your favorite shoes if you prefer.
Bring a hair brush or comb, but don't worry if you forget - I have sanitized ones available for touch-ups.
I want this to be a fun and comfortable experience for you! I will guide you through different poses, ensuring you feel confident and at ease. Please don’t stress—I’ll
help you with everything so we can capture beautiful and timeless images together. :))
