Capturing Precious Moments: Baby Mara |July 2024 | South Carolina

Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most beautiful experiences, and it’s a true honor to capture those first moments of your baby’s life. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a newborn session for a lovely family, and the images we created together are simply magical.

At Photography by Mabry, I understand how important it is to preserve these fleeting moments. That’s why I offer a full-service newborn photography experience designed to be stress-free and enjoyable for new parents. From the first consultation to the final image selection, I’m here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your experience is as special as the memories we’re capturing.


What’s Included in a Newborn Session

When you book a newborn session with Photography by Mabry, you’re choosing more than just a photoshoot—you’re choosing a carefully crafted experience that caters to both you and your baby’s needs. Here’s what you can expect:



  • Client Closet & Outfit Planning: No need to worry about what to wear! I offer a curated client closet full of beautiful gowns for moms and outfits for children. You’ll also receive a ‘What to Wear’ guide with tips on outfit planning for the entire family.

  • All-Inclusive Studio Setup: My studio is fully equipped with everything your baby needs, including diapers, wipes, sanitized pacifiers, burp cloths, and all the wraps and outfits for the session. All you need to bring is yourself and a means to feed your baby if necessary.

  • Customized Props & Setups: Every session is personalized based on the vision we discuss during our consultation. I plan all the props and setups, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the experience.

  • In-Home Lifestyle Sessions: Prefer the comfort of your own home? My lifestyle sessions allow me to capture your family in your natural environment. I bring my camera gear, and you provide any outfits and swaddles you’d like to use.



Tips for a Smooth Newborn Session



Preparing for your newborn session is easy, but a little planning can help ensure everything goes smoothly. Here are a few tips I send to all my clients:

  1. Keep Baby Awake: Try to keep your baby awake before the session to help them be nice and sleepy during the photoshoot. A bath beforehand is a great way to do this, and it also helps keep their skin moisturized.

  2. Dressing Baby: If we’ve discussed a specific outfit, dress your baby in it before the session. If we’re using my studio setups, your baby only needs to be in a diaper and an easy-to-remove onesie. For lifestyle sessions, baby should be swaddled or dressed in the outfit you’d like to use.

  3. Feeding Baby: A well-fed baby is a happy baby! Feed your little one just before the session to help keep them content and sleepy. There will also be plenty of time for additional feedings and diaper changes as needed.
