Newborn Photography in NYC & NJ

Your baby will only be this small once. You deserve the best.

As a new mother, the last thing you need is pressure. Every session is completely baby-led — if your baby needs to feed, be held, or simply isn’t ready, we pause and wait. There is no rushing here. Sessions move gently at your baby’s pace, creating a calm and relaxed experience for the entire family.

Miriam specializes in capturing the delicate beauty of your newborn’s first days — tiny fingers and toes, peaceful expressions, and the quiet connection between your family and your newest addition.

Most sessions take place in the comfort of your home throughout New Jersey and New York City, where your baby feels safe and your family can relax naturally. Studio sessions are also available at Miriam’s natural-light studio in Passaic, New Jersey.

When is the best time to do newborn photography?

Newborn sessions are best within the first 2 to 3 weeks after birth, so we recommend booking during your third trimester to secure your date. This window allows for a beautiful range of baby expressions — from dreamy, sleepy poses to awake, curious moments. It also gives mom some time to rest and recover, making the session feel calm, natural, and enjoyable for the whole family.
