I loved this studio newborn session in Athens. Welcoming a new baby is one of the most extraordinary moments in life. I find that capturing those first precious weeks is something to cherish forever. Recently, I had the absolute joy of welcoming Liz and Zach back into the studio for their newborn session with Baby Max. Liz and Zach aren’t strangers here—they’re a past bride and groom of mine, and their love story has continued to unfold in the most heartwarming way.
This time, they returned not only with their adorable son Max but also with their loyal pup in tow. That’s right—our studio is entirely dog-friendly, so furry family members are always welcome to be part of the photos. The session was as sweet as it sounds, blending the little coos of a newborn with the happy wag of a tail.
This blog post not only celebrates Baby Max’s session but also highlights the advantages of choosing a studio package for newborn photography. We’ll even dive into the perks of our Baby’s First Year Collective. Let’s get started!
Studio newborn sessions offer a special kind of magic. They ensure a safe, calming, and professional setting to capture those fleeting early days. Whether you’re a new parent or welcoming your next little one, here are the benefits of scheduling your session in my studio setting.
Newborns need a cozy and peaceful atmosphere, and that’s exactly what a professional studio provides. The lighting, temperature, and mood of the space are carefully curated to ensure the baby is comfortable and content throughout the session. It’s perfect for first-time parents, as all the little details—like soft lighting and ambient warmth—are handled for you.
Studio photography allows us to capture the beauty in the tiniest details, from sleepy yawns to delicate fingers. Using professional backdrops, lighting, and props, we can frame your little one in stunning and unique ways. The studio also ensures that every photograph is of the highest quality, free from distracting backgrounds or insufficient natural light that home photography might struggle with.
From tiny wraps and knitted bonnets to elegant swaddles and cozy blankets, our studio is stocked to create variety in your baby’s photographs. Parents don’t have to stress about finding outfits. We even provide access to the Client Closet, which includes beautiful wardrobe choices for mom. No matter your style—classic, boho, or timelessly traditional—you’ll find something perfect for your photos.
Newborn photoshoots come with their share of unpredictability, whether it’s fussiness, feedings, or diaper changes. Our studio makes it easy for parents to relax while everything is taken care of. With a dedicated setup and assistance from a professional photographer, you can focus on soaking up this special time with your baby without added pressure.
One of the most rewarding ways for families to document their baby’s growth is through our Baby’s First Year Collective. This collection is specially designed to capture not just one, but many milestones across the first year of life, ensuring you don’t miss a moment.
The Baby’s First Year Collective includes three individual sessions. The first is the newborn session—those sleepy, snuggly days that pass far too quickly. The second session captures your baby as they grow and begin to sit up, explore, and show personality. Finally, we celebrate the big milestone of their first birthday. Every session is designed to build a timeless collection of portraits that tell your baby’s story, from those tiny toes to their first wobbly steps.
When you join the Baby’s First Year Collective, you also enjoy some wonderful perks. Moms, we know how hard it can be to get ready for photos. So we’ve got you covered with complimentary hair and makeup for every session. You’re also welcome to browse the Client Closet for stunning outfits designed to make moms feel confident and beautiful.
Liz and Zach’s session with Baby Max was a wonderful reminder of how powerful photography can be. It allows us to pause time—if only for a moment. From there, we can create heirlooms you can revisit for years to come. Whether it’s through an individual newborn session or the Baby’s First Year Collective, there’s something so special about documenting this chapter of life with all the care it deserves.
If you’re considering a newborn session in the Athens studio, know that it’s so much more than just photos—it’s about capturing the love and joy of your growing family. And yes, bring your dog! If you’ve got a little one coming and you’re interested in our Baby’s First Year Collection, reach out! I’d love to meet you all!
