Welcoming baby Alivia | Newborn photography in Greenfield, Indiana

There is something extra sweet about photographing a newborn with an older sibling - and Baby Alivia's session was overflowing with love and the best big-sister energy. Just 2 weeks old at the time of her shoot, Alivia was calm and sleepy while we captured all her tiny features. 

Her big sister, Ava, joined in for some of the photos and let me say_ she absolutely stole the show. She was not only patient and gentle but truly the best little helper I've had in the studio in a long time! She was so proud and happy to cuddle her baby sister, and their bond already feels so strong. The sister shots are definitely some of my favorites from the session!

Alivia's momma is a nurse, and loves her some Starbucks, so we had to incorporate a fun shot as well! If you have a cool career or hobby you'd like to work in with baby, we can absolutely find a beautiful and fun way to do that!

Watching Avad gently hold her brand new baby sister reminded me of just how special and emotional this season is. It's more than just a photo session- it's preserving the beginning of a lifelong story between siblings. Welcome to the world sweet Alivia!!

Newborn Studio Renovation


Shawna Marie Photography's newborn studio has a whole new look! It will now be much easier for you to view and choose props and relax out of the way while your newborn is being photographed. Take a look and then be sure to give us a call or email and book your session!




Parents this area is for you! A nice place to sit back and relax, or even take a nap while we work our magic! And a fully stocked changing table for your little one as well. Be sure to help yourself to diapers, wipes, lotion and diaper rash cream.



Don't forget to flip through our albums and magazines to think about what you might want to do with your own photos!



There are many color schemes and hats, headbands, outfits and wraps to make your session reflect your style, and lots of props to choose from as well.



And of course the 2 areas where the magic happens! We shoot the props with different drops and floors, and over to the right is our posing table for those sweet simple wrapped and natural baby poses.



2022 Newborn sessions are booking quickly. I highly recommend booking around 20 weeks to ensure that you have a spot. However, if you have had your baby and you are just now looking, don't hesitate to call and check. I save spots for the spontaneity of newborn births, so occasionally I will have last minute spots available.
