The first days of motherhood pass in a blur of tiny details, sleepless nights, and a love unlike anything you've ever known. They're beautiful, fleeting, and worthy of being remembered with intention.
As Athens, GA's premier full-service newborn photographer, Izzy + Co creates a calm, effortless experience designed to care for both baby and mother. With a mom-first approach, every studio newborn session includes professional hair and makeup, access to our curated Client Wardrobe, and gentle guidance every step of the way. Every detail is thoughtfully planned so you can simply arrive, settle in, and be present.
Together, we'll create heirloom artwork that preserves far more than your baby's first days. It preserves the beginning of your family's next chapter.
You can rest here, Mama. We've got you.
Our Baby’s First Year Collective is a thoughtfully curated experience designed to document your baby’s first year as it unfolds. From those early newborn days through sitting, crawling, and first steps, the collective allows families to slow down and preserve each milestone with intention. Rather than a single session, this experience creates a cohesive story of images that grows with your child, culminating in heirloom artwork that tells the story of their first year—and the mother you were becoming right alongside them.

Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 14 days after birth, when babies sleep deeply and curl naturally into poses. It is recommended to book your Athens, GA, newborn photographer during pregnancy – at least 2–3 months before your due date – so your spot is secured before baby arrives.
How soon after birth should a newborn photography session be scheduled?
Including your hair & makeup appointment, studio newborn photography sessions in Athens typically take three to four hours. Because sessions are baby-led, there is no rushing – time is built in for feeding, soothing, and outfit or set changes. The pace is set entirely by your baby.
How long does a newborn photography session take?
Do I need to bring anything to a newborn session?
Very little. Izzy + Co provides access to a Client Wardrobe for for both parents and siblings, and the studio is fully stocked with wraps for your baby. You will receive a detailed prep guide after booking that covers everything – what to bring, how to feed before arrival, and how to prepare your baby for sleep.
What if my baby cries the whole time?
Please don’t worry—this is one of the most common concerns new parents have, and it is never a problem. Newborn sessions are designed to move at your baby’s pace, with plenty of time for feeding, cuddling, soothing, and breaks whenever needed. Some babies sleep soundly, some prefer to be held, and some need a little extra comfort—and all of that is completely normal. As an experienced Athens newborn photographer, I approach every session with patience, flexibility, and calm energy. We follow your baby’s cues every step of the way, and often the sweetest images come from those in-between moments of snuggling, rocking, and simply loving on your baby.
Will I feel ready to be photographed so soon after having a baby?
So many mothers wonder this—and the answer is yes, with support. Those early postpartum days can feel tender, emotional, and exhausting, which is exactly why our newborn sessions are designed to care for you, too. Sessions include professional hair and makeup so you can feel refreshed, pampered, and confident in front of the camera. And you never need to stress about what to wear—our extensive Client Wardrobe is filled with flattering, timeless pieces chosen specifically for mothers in this season of life. As an Athens newborn photographer, I believe caring for mama is just as important as photographing baby. For mothers recovering from a C-section, many choose to schedule their newborn session slightly later to allow for additional healing and comfort.
Is newborn photography safe for my baby?
Absolutely. As a mother myself and an experienced newborn photographer, your baby’s comfort and safety are always my highest priority. I have gently worked with countless newborns over the years and approach every session with patience, calmness, and the utmost care. I am fully vaccinated, the studio is thoroughly cleaned before every session, and everything baby touches is handled with cleanliness in mind. Sessions are entirely baby-led, meaning we always follow your baby’s cues. If a baby is not comfortable with a pose or setup, we never force it—we simply adjust, soothe, and move in a way that keeps baby safe, content, and cared for.
Are dogs welcome at the studio?
Yes! Dogs are absolutely welcome in the studio and make for the most heartwarming family portraits. Please let us know in advance that you’ll be bringing your pup so we can prepare the space and schedule accordingly.
