For the mom googling “What to wear for newborn photos” at 2am

You’ve got a baby on your chest, a phone full of screenshots, and no idea where to start…

But you know you want to remember this.

Keep reading if you want newborn photos that feel calm and intentional, without having to micromanage the process. 

Here’s what it’s like to work together

Who photographs your baby matters…

You’re carrying so much right now. Let me carry this.

Hi, I’m Bernice, and I specialize in newborn photography that feels quiet, thoughtful, and centered around you and your baby’s rhythm.

Whether your little one sleeps the whole session or needs to nurse every 20 minutes, nothing about this has to feel rushed or stiff. 

I’ll gently guide you through the entire process so you can relax, exhale, and be present.

The Experience

The Experience

From our first conversation to the moment you're choosing the images that will live on your walls, I’ll walk with you through every step.

1. Plan Together

We’ll discuss your session and work through all the details. What to expect, what to wear, what matters most to you! You’ll leave feeling confident, prepared, and taken care of.

2. A Calm, Baby-Led Session

No rush. No pressure. The session moves at your baby’s pace, with soft direction and space to just be with them. Whether in-home or in-studio, everything is set up so you can relax and feel present.

3. Choose What You Love

A few weeks later, you’ll receive a private online gallery to choose all your cherished moments.

You show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
