What to Expect from Your Affordable Jacksonville Newborn Photo Session

 

Sleeping baby wearing pink tulle tutu dress on white lace blanket - Jacksonville photography session.

I typically suggest booking 5–14 days after birth is ideal for classic, gentle & sweet newborn images—during this window babies sleep deeply and curl naturally

Waiting until up to about 3 weeks (20 days) still offers sweet sleepy portraits.


For more awake, interactive shots—especially lifestyle-style—the window extends to 8–12 weeks, though it becomes harder to achieve sleepy poses .


Sessions start at $275

Why Book Your Jacksonville Newborn Photography Session With Me


 

GENUINE CONNECTION

 

I believe in real moments, not rigid setups. No stiff posing, no overly styled props—just the soft whispers, gentle touches, and shared warmth of your new family. It’s the way you cradle your baby close to your heart, the quiet humming lullaby your partner hums, the soft smiles as little fists curl around fingers.

 

 

Parent & Baby Bonds

 

I aim to capture that serene look when you hold your newborn close, your cheek against theirs, eyes full of love (natural, unforced, and unforgettable).

 

 

Baby-Led, Authentic Poses

 

Your baby naturally curls, stretches, snoozes, or gazes with wonder—those moments are the heart of my work. I guide gently, but let your newborn lead the pose

 

 

Sibling & Family Moments

 

Those sweet, quiet seconds when a sibling leans in to kiss the baby’s forehead, or when grandparents gently stroke tiny hands—these are the images that become family heirlooms.

 

Hey, my name is Jessica

I am a momma of three and I am gentle, kind and patient. I will spoil you and your loved ones. I will make sure your hair looks perfect. I will do whatever it takes to wrangle everyone and make them feel included and seen.


My passion is my family and I look forward to helping you preserve your memories, because I truly get it.

Frequently asked questions

What Jacksonville locations do you recommend for our newborn photoshoot?

Do you live near the beach or spend a lot of time there? Do you enjoy strolling along the shoreline? I LOVE taking photos at the beach or at a park full of greenery! Here are my favorite beaches and parks for family photos in Jacksonville. Additionally in the comfort of your own home is always a wonderful option!

How do we prepare for our newborn session?

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable newborn photography session:


  • Timing: Schedule the session within the first 5–14 days after birth for optimal sleepy and curled poses.
  • Feeding: Feed your baby just before the session starts to encourage a deep sleep.
  • Comfort: Dress your baby in loose-fitting clothes to avoid skin indentations.
  • Environment: Keep the room warm (around 75–78°F) to keep your baby comfortable during the session.
  • Essentials: Bring along pacifiers, extra diapers, wipes, and any special items you'd like to include in the photos.


Remember, the goal is to capture your baby's natural beauty and the bond you share, so a relaxed environment is key.

How soon will we have our photos?

I deliver your photos very quickly! My turnaround time is 1-2 weeks.

Will you help us with direction & posing so we can look good & have fun during the photoshoot?

Of course! I am here to guide and direct you because I do not expect anyone to be naturally good at being amazing models for a photoshoot.
