As a newborn and maternity portrait photographer, I absolutely love capturing the love and connection families bring into the studio. There is something truly magical about preserving those fleeting moments when your baby is small enough to fit in the palm of your hands. My mission at Little Legacies Studio is to create timeless images that not only reflect your family’s authentic love but also stand the test of time, becoming part of your family legacy.

Newborn and maternity sessions are thoughtfully planned and crafted, and they take up the entire morning to ensure we create a calm, comfortable, and memorable experience for every family. From soothing the baby to perfecting the lighting, everything is tailored to you. We take the time to understand your style and vision so that each photo feels personal and meaningful.

One thing I’ve come to deeply understand is the importance of printing your newborn photos. While digital files are a part of the process, printed portraits are truly priceless. As technology rapidly evolves, formats change and digital files may become obsolete. Yet, a printed image lasts a lifetime and beyond. I can still open my grandmother’s album from 60 years ago and make digital copies of her prints today—but not the other way around.

That’s why I strongly believe in offering printed artwork to my clients. Whether it’s a wall gallery or a custom album, your portraits deserve to be seen, touched, and passed down through generations. I often encourage families to send me a photo of their wall space, so I can create a digital mock-up that shows exactly how their framed portraits will look—to scale—before placing the order. This tool helps you visualize your gallery and make confident design decisions.

These images are meant to be displayed and enjoyed. From framed wall art to coffee table prints, your newborn photos bring joy every day. They also make perfect gifts for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and close friends who will treasure printed pictures of your new arrival.

The newborn photos we create together are always guided by your input and reflect your unique family style. These portraits will become more valuable with time offering comfort, joy, and nostalgia even years from now. After a long day at work, there’s nothing like seeing that sweet little face in a beautiful frame, reminding you of these cherished early days.

Serving Phoenix and Beyond

Although our portrait studio is based in Phoenix, Arizona, I proudly serve families from the top surrounding cities including: Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Goodyear, Fountain Hills

Families travel from all over the Valley to experience a newborn photography session designed with love, care, and artistic intention.

A question I’m often asked is: “Can we still do newborn photos if my baby is already four weeks old?”

The answer is: Absolutely, yes!

While newborns are usually photographed within the first two weeks of life, we can still create beautiful images for babies up to six weeks old. They may not curl up into the tiniest props, but we have plenty of gorgeous set-ups suited for older newborns. And often, these sessions allow for more open-eye portraits and sweet expressions.

More Than Newborn Photography

If you’re new to my blog, I’m excited to share that we also offer milestone sessions, family portraits, and sitter sessions (typically for babies 6-9 months old). We recently added first-year cake smash sessions, too! Our goal is to grow with your family and be part of every stage of your journey.

One of the most loved features of our studio is that hair and makeup is included for mom with each session. We know how overwhelming it can be to prepare for a photoshoot, especially after just welcoming a new baby. Let us pamper you and help you feel your absolute best.

At Little Legacies Studio, every session is more than just a photoshoot it’s a celebration of your family. From the joy of expecting a new baby to watching them grow in their first year, we are here to help you capture it all.

As we approach the busy summer months, be sure to book your session early. We want to give every family the time and care they deserve, and advanced planning ensures the best experience possible.

If you are in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Goodyear, or Fountain Hills, and are searching for a newborn photographer who will provide a luxury, full-service experience I would be honored to serve your family.
