The Newborn Experience

Congratulations on expecting a baby! In the first few days, your heart will be filled with so much love you could burst! They will be some of the best yet hardest days you'll ever experience in parenthood. As time goes by, the days turn into nights and honestly you're not sure if you're coming or going!

I'm proud to offer a full service newborn photography experience. I don't want you to think about anything except the excitement of these newborn photos! I take care of literally everything, all you need to bring me is a baby! I've got dresses for mom and all the wraps, outfits and accessories needed for the baby!

Babies at this age grow SO fast and I want to document every tiny detail of their sweet little face so you can always remember the time when they were this tiny. All newborn sessions include family portraits.

Finding the right photographer can be a daunting task, I hope by writing this review that I can provide you with enough information that you can stop your search with Laura!

Laura was nothing but amazing during our tree farm family session and a cake smash session! Her instructions and recommendations to prepare families from outfits to keeping your little ones engaged was so helpful! Laura was patient, friendly, and so personable. As far as the pictures... well she nailed it! She was able to capture everything we were hoping for and more.

Please book with her, so you could have the same great experience we had!

I cannot say enough good things about our newborn photoshoot experience with Laura! Our son was born in January and we decided at the last minute that we wanted newborn photos. Within one day of reaching out to her, we had a session booked the following week and a packet of information to help prepare us for the big day!

From the moment we arrived at her studio, she made us feel comfortable and at ease. When our baby became fussy, she swooped in and performed her magic and instantly soothed him back to sleep. Not only was our in-person experience great but her follow-up communication was also timely and detailed. We were never left guessing on next steps or what to expect.

Laura was so awesome to collaborate with & she really gave us our money’s worth. She captured all of the looks we dreamed up and much more. We left feeling like she gave us so much time without feeling rushed and so many more looks than most photographers give. In the end we were so happy with all of the pictures we got of our new baby & family. Highly recommend!!

We used Laura for an extended family photo session over the holidays. My parents recently hung all the photos we printed, and they completely changed the vibe of the room! I honestly felt like I was at a brand new house for a second. It brought light and warmth into my childhood home.
I would add that Laura managed the toddler and infant grand children expertly.

We first met Laura when my son was 2 weeks old. She took the most precious newborn photos and I knew I wanted her to capture his other milestones as well! After that, she photographed him at 6 months and 1 year - we just adore all of the photos. We have also used Laura for holiday photos and especially enjoyed the Santa session this past holiday season.
Laura is so friendly and fun to work with. She puts a lot of thought and effort into the photo set ups and capturing your little one's personality. We have been so happy with our photos from Laura and will treasure them forever. We truly cannot recommend Laura McCarney Photograhy enough!

Laura is absolutely amazing!!! She has been capturing beautiful photos of our growing family since our first newborn shoot of our 4 year old daughter. Laura’s talent and eye for detail is unmatched. She is truly an artist at what she does! We are always extremely pleased not only with our photos, but our experience with her. Each booking gets better and better! We love Laura!

Krista

Highly recommend working with Laura! She was so wonderful with our 3 kids, even when the baby was not the most cooperative. She has a knack for getting kids to smile and interact with each other to get truly beautiful pictures. I loved the direction she was able to give all of us, her patience, and most of all the beautiful photos we received. Her studio is beautiful and has everything you need for those newborn shots and family photos as well, such a comfortable and accommodating space. I cannot recommend Laura enough and I'm so grateful for the experience we had. I can't wait to work with her again in the future!

We had a wonderful experience with Laura....twice! She did an in home newborn session for us two years ago and just recently photographed our new family of four in her beautiful, comfortable studio in Lansdale. Laura is truly a baby whisperer! She is calm and patient and makes the stress of getting a family ready for a photo shoot a few days after giving birth totally worth it. She puts thought into your session with outfits, colors, and set ups based upon a questionnaire. She sends your gallery in a timely fashion and you won't be disappointed with the images she captures.

Laura recently photographed a spring photo session of my six month old. My experience was great from start to finish! Leading up to the session, Laura's communication was professional, responsive, and thorough. Her studio is clean and calming, and she has many props and tools on hand to bring your vision to life. Laura was so friendly and made us feel comfortable the whole time we were in her studio. She was also amazing with my baby and got some big smiles from him in a variety of setups. Following the session, Laura's process for gallery delivery and photo selection was easy and straightforward. We are so happy with how the pictures turned out and highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for photos of their kids/family!

Say Hello

Step 1 of 5

The Process

Let's do this

We've chatted and you feel we're a great fit, yay I'm so excited! The next step is to get you on my calendar! Maternity sessions are ideal between 28-35 weeks pregnant in most cases. Next up, I'll send you my availability as well as the contract and invoice for the retainer! 

Lastly, I'll send you a questionnaire and this is where the fun planning begins! I also send a Client Experience Guide. My clients love this detailed guide, it talks about everything from wardrobe to walking you through the entire process from pre session, what to expect during the session and reminders of what you can expect after!

let's make it offical

Step 2 of 5

After you've submitted the questionnaire, I take over from there! I'll be busy planning all the things in relation to your session! 

My Session Experience Guide will most likely answer most, if not all of your questions. However, I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have along the way! Shoot me an email or ask me to give you a call!

I have a client closet with maternity dresses that range from size small to XL that I'll be sending you to view. However, you're more than welcome to provide your outfit as well and I'm happy to help you plan it out!

Keeping In Touch

Step 3 of 5

Finally, today is the day! I always suggest on session day, to make a day of it! Pamper yourself with a full makeover before your session and make sure your hair is just how you like it! Whatever makes you feel like your most happy and beautiful self, do it up! This is a wonderful way to relax, so treat yourself and make the whole day an experience! 

If you're coming with a significant other or older children, we get everyone involved! I'll be guiding you through a series of poses with prompts to capture a wide variety of images for you to choose from. We will be using two different backdrops and you have the option to wear up to 3 outfits during the session. The session will last up to an hour, so I'll have plenty of time to create a wide variety for you to choose from!

the big day

Step 4 of 5

In about 5 business days, your online proofing gallery will be on its way to your email! This will be a private gallery where you'll review the best images of the day! You can expect to see about 40 images. At that time, you will pick which collection of images you would like to purchase! 

Once I receive your order, I will then finish editing the images you selected and send you a new gallery with your high resolution files that have all been hand edited. All of my collections include print credit, so at this time you can view my shop and see what artwork you would like to purchase!

Newborn sessions are time sensitive and typically take place within the first 2 weeks of baby's life. During this time, baby is fresh and still super sleepy and willing to do all of the adorable pose3s! These sessions typically last between 2-3 hours in total, to provide ample time for feeding breaks, and allowing baby to settle and fall asleep. You never know what you'll get these sessions, some babies like to surprise us and stay awake for their first official photoshoot! Don't worry, my preparation guide will give you all the tips to help encourage a sleepy baby. I provide literally everything, all you need to show up with, is your baby!

Newborn Details

THE SESSION

I have taken countless newborn safety workshops and courses to keep up to date with my newborn safety education. The safety of your newest family member is the most important thing to me. Your family will be the only family in my studio while you are there and everything is kept clean. Anything that comes into contact with your baby during the sessions has been freshly laundered and or used with baby safe disinfectant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Newborn Photography Bucks County PA

When should my newborn be photographed?

My favorite time to photograph your new baby is between 5-14 days of age. Babies are still very sleepy and flexible from being in the womb, which means we can capture those adorably curly and snuggly poses! If your baby is older, don’t worry! I can still create a gallery of beautiful images that you’ll love! Your newborn is never too old for their photo session debut! I follow the individual cues of your baby to ensure their comfort and safety throughout the session.

How far in advance should I schedule my appointment?

It’s never too early! I’m typically booked out a few months in advance, so the earlier the better! Due to babies coming in their own time, I only take a few newborn sessions a month so I can remain flexible with getting you in during those first couple weeks of baby’s life. Generally speaking, the second trimester is the perfect time to schedule! We will pencil you in for a tentative date that can always be adjusted once your baby is here.

What do I need to bring?

Your sweet baby… that’s it! I take care of literally everything we need for the session! I have a large variety of props, accessories, teeny tiny outfits, swaddles, blankets and backdrops. You’ll fill out a questionnaire and this helps me to style and have everything ready so when you arrive, we can get right down to the cuteness! If we’re taking family portraits, I suggest dressing everyone in light neutral colors. I also offer my client closet to mom, so she can wear one of my beautiful dresses or bring her own! We will talk about this in great detail once you are booked and receive my Client Experience Guide!

When do I choose and purchase my images?

My process is simple, within 5 days of your session, you’ll receive an online proofing gallery. You can view your images from the comfort of your own home. In your gallery, you’ll see at least 40 of the best images of the day! You are now ready to purchase your images! You pick your collection from 15, 25 or all images. I then finish my editing process on the images you selected and return your gallery to you within 15 business days!

Do you offer a discount for booking multiple sessions?

Yes! I offer a membership Program that allows you to bundle and save! You can select from a 3 or 4 session bundle that can be used over the span of 12 months. The most popular sessions for the membership are maternity, newborn, 6 month and one year sessions!

Both! All of my collections include digital images and complimentary print credit. I’m so passionate about the products I offer! Your beautiful images are not meant to stay on your computer, they are meant to be heirloom art pieces for you to display in your home! This is the reason I include complimentary print credit in all of my digital image collections. I want you to display these timeless images in your home to cherish forever.
