Counting Down to the Day You Finally Hold Them

You've spent months preparing for your baby's arrival, but there's one thing no one can truly prepare you for: the moment you finally meet them. The love that fills your heart is unlike anything you've experienced before. Suddenly, the little person you've been dreaming about is finally here.

As you prepare for this next chapter, you don't need to have every detail figured out. My goal is to make this part feel simple and reassuring, so you can spend less time worrying about what's next and more time looking forward to meeting your baby.

Calm, beautifully guided newborn photography in Bergen County, NJ, with everything taken care of so you can simply be present with your baby.

Types of Newborn Portraits

Choose the Session That's Right for Your Family

Studio Newborn Portraits

If you'd rather arrive knowing everything has already been prepared for you, my Waldwick, NJ home studio offers a calm, cozy space designed with new parents in mind.

Before you arrive, I'll have everything ready, including wraps, props, and a warm, welcoming space where you and your baby can settle in comfortably. Simply bring your diaper bag and any sentimental items you'd like included.

Then take a breath. While I gently and safely photograph your baby, this is your chance to slow down for a little while. Relax on the couch, enjoy a snack, or simply watch your little one. My goal is for you to leave not only with beautiful photographs, but feeling like someone took care of you, too.

Peek Inside an In Studio Newborn Session

If you'd love your baby's first photographs to reflect the place where your family is beginning this new chapter, an in-home lifestyle session may be the perfect fit. These sessions are calm, blending gentle guidance with candid moments to create natural, heartfelt images that celebrate your family's connection in the place where your story is unfolding.

We'll use spaces like the nursery, living room, or primary bedroom, making the most of beautiful natural light while I gently guide you through the session. And don't worry about having a perfectly styled home. A quick tidy in the areas we'll photograph is all that's needed.

Before your session, I'll send a simple prep guide so you'll know exactly what to expect and how to prepare.

You Don't Have to Have Everything Figured Out

That's what I'm here for.

Designed With You in Mind

My photography is soft, timeless, and true to life, preserving your baby's first days with a focus on their tiny features and the connection your family shares.

Every newborn experience is thoughtfully designed around your baby. Their safety and comfort always come first. I’m CPR certified and trained in newborn safety, and I use gentle posing techniques throughout your session.

Your Legacy

Your baby's first days are unlike any other.

These photographs preserve the tiny details that pass so quickly, from sleepy stretches to little expressions you'll wish you could hold onto forever. That's why I offer heirloom albums, fine art prints, and custom wall art, so these memories become part of your home and your family's story. 

Investment

Newborn collections begin at $450

Collections include your newborn session and beautifully edited digital images, with additional images and heirloom artwork available to create a collection that's uniquely yours.

explore the experience

Steph Spirou photographed our newborn baby and family, and we’re so grateful we found her. Steph was warm and patient with our whole family, made us feel completely at ease, and captured the sweetest, most genuine moments: tiny fingers, sleepy cuteness, and my older son holding his new brother with a beautiful smile on his face. Steph has a real gift, the photos are STUNNING, and we couldn’t recommend her more.

FAQ's

What if my baby arrives earlier or later than expected?

Your due date is simply a placeholder to reserve your spot. Once your baby makes their debut, you’ll let me know they’re here, and we’ll choose a session date together within the next two weeks. No need to worry about getting the timing just right, I’ll guide you through it.

For lifestyle sessions, there's no need to deep clean. Simply tidy the rooms with the best natural light, and I'll take care of the rest.

For studio sessions, just bring your diaper bag and any sentimental items you'd like to include. I'll have everything else ready for your baby.

Before your session, I'll send a prep guide with everything you need to know, including a few simple tips to help your baby arrive sleepy and comfortable.

How long does a session last?

How long does a session last?

Studio newborn sessions typically last about 2–4 hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and posed images. Lifestyle sessions are usually 1-2 hours and move at a relaxed pace focused on connection.

Can I book maternity and newborn together?

Can I book maternity and newborn together?

Absolutely! Many families choose to reserve both their maternity and newborn sessions at the same time.  Booking both together guarantees your newborn session on my calendar, giving you one less thing to think about once your baby arrives.

If you're looking to document your growing family from pregnancy through your baby's first days, you may be interested in my Signature Motherhood Collection, which includes both maternity and newborn portraits. Families who book the Signature Motherhood Experience receive priority booking and $100 off!
