hi brand new momma!
Newborn Photography Jacksonville FL
You’re in a major life transition! Whether this is your first baby or you're growing your beautiful tribe, I see and honor the precious pause you’re gifting yourself right now. This is a profound chapter: welcoming new life, celebrating your body, and embracing the whirlwind of change. It all moves so fast, and before you know it, you’ll be scrolling through your first newborn photo gallery, and planning wild & fun family shoots soon after.
The photos we create are time capsules—moments that anchor you in the magic of now, reminding you how it feels to hold and nurture that tiny new you. These sessions are sacred. Whether it’s you solo, with your partner, or the whole crew, I welcome your family with an open heart and a loving lens.
What to Expect from Your Affordable Jacksonville Newborn Photo 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.
I am a busy mom with a big heart and a passion for life, family & laughter.
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?
