Welcome to Jessica Life Photography: Newborn Family Portfolio

So, you're going to have a new sweet little baby!! Congratulations! Pregnancy is such an exciting time, and when it ends you have a sweet little baby to hold onto and snuggle with. There’s nothing more special than the first moments as a family with your newborn. As a mom of three, I understand the deep emotions that come with welcoming a new life. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work at Jessica Life Photography to preserving the tender moments that make your newborn’s arrival so special, focusing on the bond and love shared within your family.


Every session is designed to be a relaxed and enjoyable experience, where your family can simply be yourselves, allowing me to capture authentic, heartfelt moments. From tender parent and baby snuggles to siblings meeting their new little brother or sister, I focus on creating images that celebrate your unique bond.



Please explore my portfolio below to see how I capture the warmth and joy of families as they embark on this beautiful new journey together. I look forward to working with you to create timeless images that reflect the love your family shares during this special season.

My Approach: Capturing the Heart of Your Family

Newborn family photography is about more than just pictures of your baby. It’s about capturing the emotions of this transformative time—the pride of new parents, the joy of siblings meeting their baby brother or sister, and the quiet, intimate moments that often go unnoticed. I aim to reflect these priceless moments in a natural, authentic way.

My style blends timeless and modern elements to create clean, simple, and elegant images that highlight your family's connection. I focus on soft lighting, neutral tones, and subtle poses to keep the attention on what matters most—the love and bond you share.

A Relaxed, Comfortable Experience

I believe that the best images happen when everyone feels comfortable and relaxed, especially with a newborn. My sessions are designed with this in mind. I come prepared with a gentle approach that allows your baby to stay calm and cozy, while creating a stress-free environment for the entire family.

Sessions take place either in the comfort of your home or at a natural light studio, depending on your preference. I take the time to allow for feeding breaks, soothing moments, and sibling interactions, ensuring we capture the essence of your family without feeling rushed.

Sweet Moments Captured Forever:

Embrace the opportunity to freeze those precious moments in time with a newborn photo session. As your little baby grows, these images become like a treasured time capsule, taking you back to the precious first few weeks of infancy. I absolutely love looking at my kids’ newborn photos and admiring how they’ve grown and changed over the years. I feel like when I blink, I miss a lot. It’s nice to have those sweet photos to look back on later.

Professional Expertise and Care:

Entrust your newborn's first photo shoot to an experienced photographer in Jacksonville who specializes in capturing the love and connection that you have with your baby. With gentle hands and a keen eye for detail, I ensure every tiny feature and adorable expression is beautifully preserved. Having 3 kids of my own, including an infant, I’m comfortable posing your baby and helping you to pose with your baby. I understand that this is your precious little baby who needs a tender touch.

Bonding Time and Family Connection:

A newborn photo session isn't just about capturing your baby's fleeting infancy—it's also an opportunity to strengthen the bonds within your growing family. Invite siblings, grandparents, and even the family pets to join in the fun and create heartwarming memories that will be cherished for generations to come. I love a good family newborn session. It’s just such a great chance to gather the family and get outdoors and really enjoy one another. And you’ll have me following behind you to document it all!
