Are you interested in newborn photography, but you’re worried about the cost?

I get it; photography can be expensive, and it’s important to understand why. Let’s talk about it!

Newborn photography requires a specialized skill set and experience.

As a South Jersey newborn photographer, I’m not just a skilled photographer, but I also have a deep understanding of how newborns are in those first few weeks. I know how to work with a happy baby/a fussy baby, I know how a new mom’s mind works and how nerve wreaking it can be for someone to be handling your sweet few weekday old baby. I know how to safely pose your infant and I have the practice and skill set to keep your baby happy while also getting those dreamy poses. And most importantly, I know how to capture the moments that matter most, the ones you never want to forget.

Newborn photography takes a lot of time.

Newborns are unpredictable! Some sessions can take me an hour and half while others may take 3 hours. Many babies need to nurse/eat in-between the session. As your newborn photographer, I’m in no rush to photograph your baby. I know a lot of photographers “cap” their time but I am used to going with the flow of the baby and allow them to lead how they need. After the session I spend several hours editing and processing the photos to ensure that the final product meets my high standards and your expectations.

When you work with me the cost of Newborn photography includes more than just the time spent at the session and editing the photos.
It also covers the cost of professional-grade camera equipment, including cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software. My beautiful full service South Jersey Newborn Photography Studio. Additionally, as full service photographer, I invest in full wardrobe for baby, mom, dad and siblings. I also include complimentary hair and makeup for mom so that she feels her best in the photos. Birth and lack of sleep is no joke so having your hair and makeup done for you is a dream! Furthermore I offer full service of helping you design framing for your walls (and Install!) or a heirloom album for these once in a lifetime memories to be cherished forever!

How much is Newborn photography in South Jersey?

The cost of a south jersey newborn photographer can vary drastically depending on experience and the services and products offered. Just like anything in life, you can go the cheaper route but you may often not get what you could by choosing to make a higher investment. Remember you one have a newborn once in life for a few short weeks. And the first year is the most they will EVER grow in one year. These are all good things to keep in mind when choosing your photographer. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $800-$4,000 for a newborn photography package that includes artwork and digital files with a print release (which means the ability to print an unlimited number of images at the lab of your choice).

I am so happy to offer a full service photography experience for my mommas. Where they can be helped each step of the way, how to prepare for their session, to relax during their session knowing I will keep their baby safe and have ample amount of experience (have photographed 500+ babies and families), hair and makeup as well as wardrobe all taken care of for them, design appointment to make sure these images become artwork to treasure forever.

Having a baby is a life-changing experience that you’ll never forget, and having professional photos to look back on can help you remember all the emotions, details, and love that surrounded you during that special time.

These photos are not just for you; they’re a gift to your child. They’ll show them how loved and welcomed they were from the very beginning, and these images will be cherished by you, your child, and your family for generations to come.

Newborn photography may seem expensive to some, but it’s an investment in preserving memories, celebrating life, and honoring your child’s first moments earth-side.

So, if you’re considering newborn photography, know that it’s worth every penny and more!

Don’t just take my word for it 😉 Here is what some of my clients had to say about their investment:

“There are certain things in life that are priceless and Newborn photo’s with Shaina is definitely one of those!! The whole experience was great, and having the wardrobe available at the studio made photo session prep with a newborn and a toddler so much easier!! End product was better than we could have asked for and I regret not getting photo’s for our oldest child! Highly recommend!”

“I’m a first time mom and my little guy came 3 weeks early so needless to say I was nervous to even take him out of the house, but Shaina made the experience so amazing! She is so sweet and welcoming and I instantly felt safe handing my baby over for her to love and snuggle while also capturing the most amazing pictures! “Reveal day” was so sweet and personal! She made it all about us and was just as excited to share her work as we were to see it! The photos were absolutely gorgeous making it impossible to pick just one. I went in to this experience expecting a few cute pictures of my sweet little guy, but walked away with 100s of memories of those first weeks of life! Some how she managed to take my one week old baby and capture every perfect little detail of his new and developing personality!”
