Calm, baby-led newborn photography experience for Edmonton mothers
who want a supportive, unrushed experience.
EDMONTON
NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
My approach to newborn and baby photography is intentionally calm, simple, and fully guided. You don’t need to know how to pose, what to wear, or how your baby should behave. I’ll take care of the details so you can stay present with your little one.
I work with a small number of families in Edmonton and surrounding areas who value connection, ease, and imagery that will still feel meaningful as the years pass.

A Guided Newborn & Baby Photography Experience
My sessions are designed to feel calm, unhurried, and thoughtfully guided from beginning to end. Whether we photograph your baby in the comfort of your home or in my Beaumont studio just outside of Edmonton, every detail is approached with care - allowing you to settle in, breathe, and simply be present with your baby.
Rather than relying on overly posed setups or rushed workflows, I follow your baby’s pace while gently guiding you throughout the session. There is always space for feeding, soothing, cuddling, and the quiet in-between moments that often become the most meaningful images.
Many of the mothers I work with tell me they feel nervous in front of the camera or worry they won’t know what to do. You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose, what to wear, or how your baby “should” behave. My role is to create a relaxed experience where you feel cared for, comfortable, and fully supported - while your baby is handled with patience, gentleness, and the same level of care I would want for my own children.
This experience is especially suited for families who value natural, refined imagery and a more thoughtful approach - one centered around connection, comfort, and quality over excess.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR
NEWBORN SESSION
From the moment you inquire, you’ll be supported through a thoughtful, steady process designed to take the pressure off.
Before your session, I’ll help you choose the right timing for your newborn or baby, offer guidance around what to wear, and talk through whether a studio or in-home session feels like the best fit for your family.
During the session itself, I’ll offer direction while moving at a pace led by your baby - allowing time for feeding, soothing, and settling without any sense of urgency.
Afterward, you’ll receive a proofing gallery to select the images you love the most, followed by careful retouching and the option to invest in both digital files and tangible artwork for your home.
My goal is for you to leave feeling cared for and confident - never rushed or unsure.
Studio or In-home Baby Photography
Both studio and in-home sessions offer something special, and I’ll help you choose what feels right for your family.
Studio sessions are ideal if you love
Soft, neutral backdrops
Beautiful, consistent light
A quiet, minimal environment
In-home sessions are perfect if you value
A relaxed, familiar setting
Lifestyle-inspired imagery
Documenting your baby’s earliest days at home
No matter the location, the focus is always on connection rather than perfection.
Portrait Sessions
for Babies at Every Age

While many families book newborn sessions within the first two weeks, I also photograph babies beyond the newborn stage.
These sessions are ideal for older newborns, 3–6 month milestones, and babies whose personalities are beginning to shine
You don’t need to fit into a specific timeline for your baby
to be beautifully documented.
Questions? You're not alone
Here are a few of the questions I hear most often
from Edmonton parents.
When should I book my newborn session? Most families reserve their newborn session during the second trimester to ensure availability around their due date. Rather than booking a specific session date, I reserve space around your baby's expected arrival and schedule the session once they're here. Newborn sessions are typically photographed within the first two weeks, when babies are often sleepiest and happiest to be curled up. That said, older newborns are always welcome, and beautiful images can be created whether your baby is 10 days old or 10 weeks old.
What should we wear? Soft neutrals and lighter tones tend to photograph beautifully and keep the focus where it belongs - on your connection with your baby. After booking, you'll receive styling guidance to help coordinate the whole family, and you're welcome to borrow from the client closet, which includes a selection of dresses for mothers and clothing for children up to size 4T. The goal isn't for everyone to match perfectly. It's to create a look that feels cohesive, comfortable, and natural while photographing beautifully together. I'll help guide you through the process so you don't have to worry about figuring it all out on your own.
What happens if my baby won't sleep? Please don't stress about bringing a perfectly sleepy baby. Newborn sessions are completely baby-led, with plenty of time built in for feeding, cuddling, and settling. While many babies do sleep for portions of their session, some prefer to stay awake and take everything in - and those images can be just as beautiful. My goal is never to force a baby into a pose or rush through the experience. Whether your newborn sleeps soundly, wants extra snuggles, or spends part of the session wide-eyed and curious, we'll create a beautiful gallery that reflects this season of your family's life.
Where is your studio located? My studio is located in Beaumont, Alberta, just outside Edmonton and an easy drive for families coming from Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Leduc, and surrounding communities. The space is designed specifically for newborn, baby, and family photography, with soft natural-looking light, newborn wraps and outfits, and a curated wardrobe for mothers. Everything is prepared before you arrive so you can walk in, settle in, and enjoy the experience.
LOVE NOTES
Within the last few months we had done a maternity and newborn/lifestyle session with Caitlin and she did such an amazing job with both. My husband and I are very awkward and not photogenic at all but Caitlin made the entire experience very comfortable and easy for us. She had come to our home for the newborn session as I had only been one week postpartum, Caitlin made it so effortless and really brought a sense of calmness to our home and was so gentle with our newborn. I absolutely love the style of photography that Caitlin does and I would recommend her to anyone.
