the tiniest days become the biggest memories…
Whether you’ve just brought new life into the world and are reading this through the bleary eyes of sleep-deprivation, or you’re excitedly anticipating the arrival of a new tiny family member, I just wanted to say congratulations!
As a Phoenix newborn photographer, I am beyond honored to capture this incredible time in your lives. Newborn photography allows you to freeze these precious, fleeting moments, creating timeless memories of your baby’s first days.
BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER BE THIS LITTLE AGAIN
Carving out the time to document and celebrate this transition with professional newborn photos is one of the best gifts you can give your family. These images will forever remind you of the joy and love that filled your home during this beautiful chapter.
“We are blown away by the results!”
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Candace! She recently did a newborn shoot for my daughter and we are blown away by the results. How she got an 8 day old to be calm, comfortable, and posed beautifully for an hour is beyond me. Candace was also lovely to work with and had a great sense of humor throughout the shoot. We will absolutely book her again in the future for our photography needs!

NEWBORN EXPERIENCES
Whether we’re in your home or a sweet, cozy studio, my newborn sessions are all about connection. I specialize in lifestyle photography, which means we’ll capture natural, relaxed moments with just enough guidance to help you feel confident and connected. Planned candids (“plandid” moments!) are my favorite…genuine, but with a little bit of help from me behind the lens.

WHY THESE NEWBORN PHOTOS MATTER SO MUCH
There is nothing quite like that feeling of bringing your new baby for the very first time. I still remember that day so clearly. It felt like I was living in a dream, I honestly wanted to pinch myself. Those first few days are a beautiful, blurry mix of awe, exhaustion, and love like you have never felt before. And the craziest part? That tiny bundle of joy changes so fast! Just within a couple of weeks, their features start shifting, their expressions evolve, and it becomes harder to remember exactly what they looked like during those earliest moments.
That’s why newborn photography means so much! Capturing your baby while they are still brand new gives you something to remind you of just how tiny, wrinkly, and perfect they were in those first few weeks. But it’s not just about the baby. It’s about the beginning of something huge! I absolutely love witnessing the transformation of a couple becoming a mom and dad…or watching a toddler staring in awe at their new baby sibling and still figuring out how to interact with them. These moments go by way to fast. And they are so so very special. And the best part of my job…well, it’s making sure you don’t forget it and can be reminded with these photos.
“She is very experienced with newborns...”
I found Candace through a recommendation from a coworker. She did newborn photos for us 3 days before Christmas. I love that she comes to your house which makes it very convenient for new moms. She is very experienced with newborns and was able to calm the baby and capture beautiful photos. Also I was not expecting our gallery to be available until after the holidays, but Candace went above and beyond and had our gallery ready the next day. I highly recommend Candace to anyone looking for professional photos! I will definitely be booking her for all my future sessions.

Frequently asked questions...
Frequently Asked Questions About Newborn Photos in Phoenix
When should I book my newborn photos?
I recommend booking your newborn session while you’re still pregnant. We’ll reserve your due date on my calendar as a placeholder, but baby gets to decide the real date! Once your baby arrives, put me on that call list and let me know as soon as you can. From there, we’ll choose your official session date. And if your due date arrives and I haven’t heard from you yet, don’t worry. I’ll reach out and check in!
How old should my baby be for newborn photos?
I love photographing newborns within their first two weeks, with around 10 days old being a sweet spot for me. Babies are often sleepier during those early days, which helps us capture those peaceful, cozy newborn photos. That doesn’t mean we’ve missed our chance if your baby is older! I photograph babies beyond two weeks too. Around a month old, babies tend to be more alert, so your gallery may simply have a different feel with more awake expressions and personality.
What is the difference between the studio and in-home newborn sessions?
The studio session takes place in downtown Phoenix and is a shorter session with a soft, simple setup, wraps, props and seating provided. The in-home session gives us more time and focuses on your family in your own space, including baby, parents and siblings.
Do I need to provide anything for my newborn session?
Very little! Depending on the session you choose, I provide wraps, simple props and other items we'll need. You'll also receive my Newborn Guide before your session with tips on what to bring, what to wear and how to prepare.
