Frequently Asked Questions

About Newborn Photography Sessions

The best time for a newborn photography session is typically within the first 5–30 days after birth, depending on your baby's temperament and both mom's and baby's recovery. We reserve your newborn session based on your due date, then finalize your appointment once your little one arrives. Booking during pregnancy is the best way to guarantee availability.
Yes! I offer nursery lifestyle sessions for families who want to capture meaningful moments in the comfort of their baby's room. These sessions focus on natural interactions and the beautiful details you've thoughtfully designed.
If you're looking for a fully styled session with my signature props, backdrops, and custom set designs, those take place in my studio, where my stationary sets and professional lighting are permanently installed. In-home lifestyle sessions are available for an additional travel fee.
Sunny Melon Photography proudly serves families throughout Portland Oregon and surrounding areas. We welcome clients from across the region for newborn, maternity, baby, and family photography sessions in our studio. If you're traveling from outside the area, we're happy to answer any questions and help you plan your visit.
Not at all! While posed newborn photography is often easiest during the first two weeks, beautiful newborn portraits can still be created with babies who are three weeks old or older. Every baby is unique, and we'll customize your newborn photography session to suit your little one. If your baby has already arrived, contact us as soon as possible so we can check availability.
For timeless newborn family photos, we recommend wearing neutral, soft-colored clothing with minimal patterns. Simple, coordinated outfits help keep the focus on your family's connection and your new baby. Before your newborn photography session, you'll receive a detailed preparation guide with wardrobe suggestions. During your consultation, we'll also help plan outfits that photograph beautifully together.
A session fee is required to reserve your newborn photography session. This includes your reservation, personalized session planning, your photography session, a viewing and ordering appointment, and delivery of your selected products or artwork, depending on your collection. Once your gallery is ready, you'll choose the collection that best fits your family's needs, including digital images and heirloom artwork.
Our professional newborn photography studio is fully stocked with carefully selected wraps, blankets, baby furniture, knitted outfits, headbands, bonnets, and timeless props. Every newborn session is custom designed during your consultation to reflect your family's style, creating a personalized experience from start to finish. All you need to do is arrive, relax, and enjoy this special time with your baby.
Absolutely! We encourage parents and siblings to be part of your newborn photography session because these family portraits often become treasured keepsakes. If you have young children, we'll usually photograph family portraits first so they can head home afterward if needed. Families without young siblings typically take family photos toward the end of the session. Depending on your studio's policies, well-behaved pets may also be welcome—just let us know during your consultation so we can plan accordingly.
Most newborn photography sessions last between 2 and 3 hours. Every session is completely baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, diaper changes, cuddles, and soothing breaks whenever needed. Before your appointment, we'll send you a comprehensive preparation guide with helpful tips to encourage a calm, sleepy baby and ensure the best possible newborn photography experience.
