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!!

You asked, and we listened! We are now offering new newborn session options. All options include some digital images and options to also purchase prints and products at discounted prices when you purchase one of our larger sessions. We recognize that many people want the digitals, but also, that many of you would like to be able to order from our high quality product menu.
You can view each of these newborn sessions and our grow with me plan on our main page www.shawnamariephotography.com
Each session requires a $200 deposit to hold your date, then the remainder is due 2 days before you session date. This means, if you book early, you can make multiple small payments towards your session. This makes it more doable for many more people! Just ask when you book and we will set up your plan!
I recently had little miss Hadley in for her newborn photos. She actually came by once for her Hospital photos since she was born at Hancock Regional Hospital. Then she came back for a full session. She slept so well. We were able to get a lot of different poses. Here are a few of my favorites <3
If you're looking to book your newborn session, I recommend doing that when you are around 20-25 weeks to make sure you are locked in for a session. I only take so many a month so that I can fit everyone if babies are born early or late. To book just email This email address is being protected from spambots.

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.
