Life just got bigger

Bringing a baby home is enormous. There’s this wild mix of love and terror and hope all happening at once. This stage blurs together fast. Having photos of your family in those early weeks becomes a gift to your future self.

You want to be in these photos too

You grab your phone, but it doesn’t feel matched to the importance of the moment. Plus, you’re always the one behind the camera, which means you’re never in the photos. Let us help you change that.

We’ve got you

Our newborn sessions happen in your home. We guide you through the whole experience so you can relax and enjoy it, while we document this chapter of your life with lots of love and care.

What to Expect

Before Your Session

We want you to feel ready and relaxed for your session. Our newborn guide walks you through simple, easy tweaks to prepare your space, just enough to set the scene for beautiful photos. We’ll also plan ideas for your session: Whether you want something calm and focused on the baby or something more like a bagel brunch with the whole crew. 

During Your Session

Our sessions are natural and flexible. We come in with a plan and build on it as we go—adjusting for the baby’s pace and the energy in the house. We bring calm, and we give guidance and suggest poses when it’s helpful, but mainly we just let you be yourselves and capture what happens. 

After Your Session

Your gallery arrives within 2-3 weeks — and that’s not where we disappear. We’ll help you figure out what to print, what works as wall art, and what to send to grandparents. The goal is for these photos to actually live in your life, not sit in a folder on your computer.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

This depends on your preferences. If you want pictures of your baby dreamy, with their eyes closed, the best time for a newborn baby photography session is the first 10 days. If you wait a little longer, you’ll have more awake time during your session where your kid will be alert with their eyes opened. We suggest you don’t stress yourself—newborn pictures can be anything in the first three months. Waiting a bit can give mom a moment to recover from giving birth and the whole family to bond with your child.

Newborn photography sessions last up to two hours long. We take our time in newborn photography sessions and don’t book another session directly after, so that we can maintain a relaxed environment, and take time to pause for feedings, to clean up messes, for wardrobe changes, and to breathe and keep it light.

While we want to capture how you’re living, having too much clutter in your environment can distract from what’s most important: You and your growing family. We recommend cleaning up your space a bit and where possible declutter the areas that will be in your pictures. We’ll be happy to discuss the best approach here. And all that said, some people just really dig the ‘everything is falling apart, this is what parenting looks like’ aesthetic, so if that’s you we can discuss as well.

Our newborn photo sessions are in your home both because it reduces some of the stress of trying to travel somewhere with your newborn, but also because so much of newborn photography is about capturing where you and your family are in this new stage of your lives. Families move—especially as they grow—and we find that folks love to have a memory that includes their home at the time. So don’t worry about whether your place is small or fancy, just have it be you. From there, we can plan with you on how to capture your home’s best side.

You, your baby, and your family should feel comfortable and pretty. Don’t stress yourself out about your wardrobe, but don’t wear your pijamas either (unless your PJs are just fabulous). Choose fabrics that are soft and comfortable for your newborn to keep them happy during the session (babies tend not to like jeans). We provide guidance and inspiration for outfits and wardrobe to our clients, so you won’t be left hanging.

Stylish Hip Kids is such a joy to collaborate with: full of creativity, warmth, and great energy. Mariliana makes everything feel easy and thoughtful, and it’s always a pleasure connecting with her.

Our family has had wonderful experiences with Stylish & Hip Kids Photography over the past several years. With two young, wiggly kids, it’s always a challenge to get a great photo of our whole family, but Mariliana and Jonica have done an amazing job capturing precious moments we will cherish forever. It’s been such a gift to document our family’s growth during this special time. I highly recommend Stylish & Hip Kids Photography for anyone looking to capture beautiful memories!

Offerings


01.

Maternity Sessions

see yourself in the “before”

These sessions are about you, your baby-on-the-way, and the way your life looks right now in this city—not a costume, not a fake version of you.

You want to remember what it felt like to carry this baby, not just what the bump looked like.

You’d like a relaxed, guided session that doesn’t feel like a performance.

You know once the baby arrives, you’ll be glad you made space for this.

02.

Newborn Sessions

the first days at home

These sessions happen in your space, with your people, on your baby’s timeline. No studio, no rush—just the way your world has rearranged around this tiny person.

Perfect if:

You want at-home images that feel true to your baby and your apartment, not a set.

You’d rather have someone come to you than pack a diaper bag for photos.

You want both “everyone together” images and quiet, close-up moments.

How will you capture your growing family?

Welcoming a new member to your family is momentous. There’s so much love and hope you don’t want to see fade into the past. Will you remember the excitement of this moment—the dreams, the desires, the hopes you have for who your family might become?

Parents want to honor these new beginnings, but how? We grab our phones, but it doesn’t feel matched to the importance of the moment. It’s easy to get swept away by the daily logistics of having a newborn and realize only later that we missed an opportunity to capture the life our children were born into.
