Written By Josie Tan

Choosing a newborn photographer is about more than just pictures—it's about finding an artist who can capture the unique spirit and transient details of your new baby. At our Portland, Oregon studio, we specialize in luxury, fine art newborn portraits that are fully customized to your family's story and style.

The Art of Custom Newborn Styling

When this beautiful girl visited my portrait studio for her newborn photoshoot with me at a few weeks old, her parents came to me with a wonderful request: full creative freedom. This is where the magic of a custom session truly shines. I love being able to really help customize each portrait session so parents look back on these images and remember all the little features that change so quickly.

  • Beyond the Basics: While every session includes classic, timeless poses, a custom fine art approach integrates meaningful details into the styling.

  • A Snapshot of the Year: In this particular session, I got some good eye contact and snoozing poses. Her parents really let me have full creativity to build their gallery so I pulled some branches off my yard and added little tidbits of what her birth year was like. With a rat stuffie and all! These subtle, creative additions make the images absolutely unique and deeply personal.

  • Emphasis on Detail: We capture every tiny feature: the peeling skin, the delicate eyelashes, the tiny grip. These are the details you’ll forget, but the portraits will ensure you remember forever.
