San Antonio Newborn Photographer
I offer lifestyle newborn photography. This style of photography blends posed portraits with documentary to create a fun and romantic feel to your photos. In a lifestyle session, your baby stays in your arms for the majority of your session, allowing for a more natural look and candid moments between you and your baby. An element that truly makes a lifestyle newborn session unique to you is the fact that it takes place in the comfort of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to schedule a newborn session?
I recommend scheduling your session at least 2 weeks after your due date. For my style of photography, your newborn does not need to be younger than that and can be up to 3 months old.
Can I schedule my maternity and newborn photos at the same time?
Yes! When you select both sessions during the inquiry stage you can book both sessions at a discounted rate! All you need is your due date to book a newborn session.
What if my baby arrives early or late and I need to reschedule?
We can find another date for your session if you need to, just be prepared to have your session on a weekday or a different time of day. Reschedules at a studio requires an additional rental fee if the studio does not offer a refund.
Will you edit body parts, acne, teeth, scars, etc?
I do not alter one’s appearance in post beyond removing small blemishes that would disappear naturally within a week or two’s time. I will only remove acne, temporary scars, and other minor blemishes.
Do I have to have my session at my home?
No, you can always choose a studio (for an additional fee) or an outdoor setting, weather permitting. In those instances, I recommend bringing a bassinet or pillows for your newborn to lay on for their solo photos.
How many images do I receive?
As an all-inclusive photographer, I deliver all edited images that I deem worthy of being delivered. This is usually a minimum of 70 images in a gallery. All are available for download.
How far do you travel for sessions?
I will travel anywhere within the United States but require a travel fee. For locations that do not require an overnight stay, I charge a per-mile fee for locations outside a 50-mile radius of my zip code. For overnight stays within Texas, there is an $800 travel fee. For sessions outside of Texas, there is a $1,500 travel fee.
"I cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Laura."
- D’Anna W.
She worked with our almost 4-year old so beautifully! I was concerned that he wouldn't do well, but Laura gave him tasks and assignments and brought out his natural, beautiful little personality! We were able to relax because she handled him so well, and our love for him shone through in the photos. I will come back to her again and again because, not only are the images she captured BEAUTIFUL, but she worked with our son so well and, for that, I am incredibly grateful!
"She put us at ease during each session"
Laura shot maternity and newborn photos for us and just sent photos from a Christmas tree farm mini-session. During the newborn and Christmas sessions, we weren't sure what we would get with a fussy baby and now an unsure toddler but both times Laura managed to capture beautiful images that really show our daughter's personality. She put us at ease during each session and we’re grateful to have photos we love that capture these stages in our family’s life!

"Our family photos with Laura turned out so stunning!"
- Caitlin R.
We could not be happier with the lifelong memories we now have. Laura was so great with our 2 year old son, and we will absolutely be using her again for future photos.
