what's included:
Booked on weekdays, we'll spend about 1-2 hours of unhurried time together in your home. You stay in your space, your baby stays comfortable, and everything feels more relaxed from the start.
These sessions are lifestyle-focused and baby-led. No stiff posing or heavy Photoshop. Just natural moments, intentional styling, and an elevated perspective of the home you brought your baby home to.

Printed artwork is the finished product.
Your kids don't stop getting older. Life doesn't slow down. You'll never regret getting family photos. But if they don't make it to the wall or album or print, they'll simply disappear in the shuffle of your phone's camera roll.
If you do make time to get prints, do you know how to get high quality prints? Can you trust the local teenager running the print kiosk at some big box store to give you beautiful prints? Will you feel confident displaying poorly printed artwork in your home or office?
And how else will you share these with friends and family if your kids are kept offline? Grandma loves prints to put on her living room wall even more than posting on facebook.
why you need tangible photographic artwork
You don't want to miss this
I can never see myself or my family working with anyone else!
from the heart of past clients
After seeing your photos, you'll be able to shop a la carte directly from your gallery for beautiful custom artwork. Whether you choose an heirloom album, custom frames, or loose fine art prints to fill your existing frames, you'll be thrilled with the quality and the memories you'll preserve.
3. choose your collection
I’ll guide you with styling and playful prompts so your session feels more like family time than posing. These lighthearted moments are often the ones parents treasure most.
2. your photoshoot happens
Begin by scheduling a 15 minute chat with me. Share your vision and ask your questions, and I’ll guide you through locations, styling, my client closet, availability, and investment so you feel completely confident. At the end you’ll secure your date with a signed contract and a $325 sitting fee plus tax, and your session will be officially on the calendar.

Styling has always been such a big part of how I tell a story. Over the years, I’ve slowly built a client closet filled with pieces for mom that feel like something out of a memory… soft light, quiet mornings, a little bit romantic, a little bit nostalgic. I’m endlessly inspired by elegant, old-world styling, so every dress I bring in is chosen to feel elevated without ever feeling like too much.
When you book with Lilac & Ivy Photography, this entire wardrobe is yours to lean into. You don’t need to spend hours searching or second guessing what photographs well. I’ve already done that part for you, so you can just arrive and be present with your family.

Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Family is a staple of the lifestyle approach I take - no crazy poses or photoshop necessary to capture the love a family shares. You and your partner and any siblings belong all together for your portraits. You'll never regret getting these poignant photos together.
I typically schedule newborn portrait sessions within the first two weeks after birth, when babies are still very sleepy, curled up, and easily soothed.
That said, every family’s experience is different, and we can always adjust if you need more time to recover or settle in. Book as early as feels comfortable and we can adjust as we go.
I'm so glad you asked! I offer a growing client closet for mothers. My client closet is carefully curated with pieces selected for their movement, texture, and timeless elegance, designed to flatter maternity and postpartum bodies.
From my own experience with my son, I know flexibility is a must for scheduling newborn sessions. I will reschedule based on your babies birth day, one of the benefits of taking only a few clients each month is flexibility for your special moment.
Luckily, you won't have to go anywhere, I offer a professional makeup artist as a part of your sitting fee. I have a handful of excellent artists who offer a more natural but totally glowy and fresh faced version of yourself.
Prepare for your in-home newborn session by keeping your space warm, choosing soft neutral outfits and a coordinating swaddle, and planning for a relaxed, baby-led morning so everything feels calm and unhurried. Feeling like there's more to know? I've got an entire guide here.
