Newborn Sessions

welcome to

the studio

As your Colorado newborn photographer, I offer more than just beautiful images—I provide peace of mind throughout the entire experience. When you step into my studio, you’ll find a cozy, welcoming environment designed with your comfort in mind. There’s soft seating, a changing area, and a selection of snacks and drinks to help you relax and feel at home. Everything is thoughtfully prepared so you can focus on connecting with your little one, not the details of the session.

 

I also believe that great communication is the foundation of a meaningful experience. From our first conversation to the moment your final gallery is delivered, I’ll be there to support and guide you. I take the time to learn your preferences, offer suggestions, and gently direct your session so that every image feels natural, heartfelt, and true to you.

 

When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re partnering with someone who truly cares about preserving this special chapter in your life. These aren’t just photos—they’re memories, captured with care, intention, and a whole lot of love.

 

I only take a limited number of newborns each month to ensure every family gets a calm, personalized experience.

Newborn Photography FAQs & Common Questions

 

While you prepare for baby's arrival, we want to make sure all of the questions about your upcoming Newborn Photography Session are answered. Here are the most frequently asked questions we hear at Ablaze Photography:

 

 

Are you up to date on the Whooping Cough Vaccine?

  • Yes! My staff and I are up to date on TDap and Flu.
  • Your baby's comfort and safety are my #1 priority!
  • I am OBGYN and pediatrician approved.

 

What is the best age to photograph my new baby?

  • I prefer to photograph newborns between 10-20 days of age, when they are still in that super, sleepy, squishy, curly stage. This is not to say that we can't photograph your baby a bit older, but the ultimate time is in the first week.

 

Do you have a studio?

  • Yes! I have a professional Newborn Photography Studio located right in the heart of Grand Junction, Colorado at 411 1/2 Main St.
  • Newborn Photography Studio vs. In-Home Sessions- In order to provide the consistent look you see on my website and in my portfolio, Newborn sessions are held in my studio. Everything is fully prepared prior to your arrival. You can enjoy some much-needed rest while I photograph your baby just feet away.

 

Do you have all the props?

  • Yes! I have everything you see on my website and loads more. My studio has a glamorous collection of high quality, hand made headbands, bonnets, outfit and wraps. I am consistently updating and purchasing new goodies! Your baby's session will be fully styled based on your color preferences, all you have to bring is the baby!

 

Do you offer sessions on the weekends?

  • No, the Newborn Photography Studio is open by appointment only Monday - Friday 10:00-2:00

How far in advance should I book?

  • It's best to book your session whilst your still pregnant, usually after 20 weeks gestation.

 

What if my baby comes early or after my due date?

  • By booking your session with Ablaze Photography (paying your deposit), your new baby has priority on my schedule. That means if your baby comes early or late your baby is guaranteed a spot on my calendar. My Newborn Sessions are limited each month to accommodate the various arrival dates.

 

My baby is already here! Can I still do a Newborn Session?

  • Occasionally, I do have last-minute availability. Please inquire if your baby is a bit older, as this may determine if you want a newborn or baby session.

 

How long does a Newborn Session take?

  • Full Newborn Sessions take 2-3 hours; this includes extra wiggle room if we need extra feeding and soothing breaks. I firmly believe anything over 3 hours is just too long, too long for the baby and too long for exhausted parents. I'll help you prepare your little one so we can get the very best of baby for the session.

 

How do I prepare for my session?

  • Once you've booked your session with Ablaze Photography, you'll receive a link via email with tips on how to prepare for a smooth Newborn Session.
