As a parent of two kiddos, I know the mix of excitement and nerves that comes with adding a tiny human to the family. Those early moments with your newborn? Absolute gold. Whether it's your first time or not, capturing images of your growing family is a decision you'll forever cherish.
I create natural newborn portraits with a lifestyle touch. No elaborate props or poses. Your baby leads the way. Snuggles and precious details included. Enjoy a relaxed newborn session in the comfort of your home and a carefully curated newborn client closet to use for your convenience.

This new family of four rocked their in home lifestyle newborn session. Adding a new sibling to the family can be hard for the older siblings but this big sister did amazing. She even pretended to be a photographer like me! We had such a fun time together and the photos are absolutely beautiful!

Welcoming baby M
Baby M was welcomed by her adoring parents. Our session was on a cool fall morning, in Rosedale, Toronto, but that didn't stop us from capturing these warm and loving photos. There is something so magical about newborn sessions with first time parents!

Junction Triangle Toronto Newborn Photos
Welcoming first baby boy
These at home newborn photos took place in a West Toronto home. Every newborn session I photograph is unique because no two homes are the same. This makes your experience that much more personal. These precious moments are captured in your space, showing off your family's unique personality. How amazing is that?! Even Baby B's dog sibling joined the fun!

Baby L & big sister C
This session was with a beautiful family of 4. Big sister was 5 and baby brother was 3 months old at the time of the session. Sometimes life gets in the way of capturing the very early days and that's okay! Every stage of your baby's life is precious and I love that I can capture these precious moments for families.

A unique Newborn Photography session in the comfort of your home
Your session will beautifully encapsulate the genuine moments and emotions shared within your family. No need for elaborate props or forced poses, the focus will remain on the authentic connections and tender interactions between you and your newborn.
Natural Photo editing to stand the test of time
I keep my edits natural and bright. I want you to be the star of the show!
A beautifully curated proofing gallery
Your proofing gallery will include a beautiful story of your family. I try not to show too many of the same "pose". I want you to have a great variety of images to choose from without being overwhelmed with choice. You choose what you love.
What to expect when working with me
“We never know the love of a parent until we become parents ourselves.”
Clients are drawn to my newborn photography for its laid-back vibe and the natural, bright, clean edits. Think of our session as a cozy catch-up with an old friend, sprinkled with the magic of capturing gorgeous photos! At home newborn sessions are perfect for those wanting a relaxed experience with natural looking images.
Send me a message through my contact form and let's start the conversation about your perfect session. I want to hear it all. When you are due, who will be photographed. Ask me anything. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Based on your due date we can schedule a tentative session date. Your paid session retainer will ensure a date on my calendar. Once your baby is born, we will touch base to determine if our date still works.
**It's best to book your newborn session a few months before your baby is due to ensure I have the availability for you.
1. Say Hello
2. Your guide
Once we've got your session in my calendar we can plan all the fun details! We can plan colour schemes based on your homes decor. I will work with you to select the best wardrobe options. I will also advise you on how to prep your home and the spaces we will be using. I will send you a prep guide so you know what to wear and how to prep your house and the baby for your session. I have a selection of beautiful neutral outfits that your newborn can borrow for our session too!
Leading up to your session, send me an email or give me a call if you have any questions. Stuck on what to wear? I can help! Not sure what rooms to use? Send me pictures of your space and we can decide together. I will be with you every step of the way. My priority is to ensure this is a seamless and enjoyable experience for you.

Our session will be as relaxed as possible. If baby needs nursing breaks or becomes fussy, don't sweat it. I will make sure we get all the special moments. I usually spend between 1-2 hours with my newborn families. I work as quickly as possible to ensure you receive a beautiful gallery of images to choose from.

You might be wondering...
When should I schedule a
newborn session?
What should we wear for
our session?
How long will my newborn
session take?
I recommend booking your session with me a few months before your baby is due. I only take a limited number of newborn sessions a month to ensure that my clients get their preferred dates. Generally newborn sessions are scheduled within the first 2 weeks after your baby has arrived. At the time of your booking, we will pencil in a date and once your baby has arrived we will finalize the date.
My newborn sessions take between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This gives us lots of time for cuddles, diaper changes, feeding and whatever else the baby might need. When siblings are involved, they tend to go a little longer than 90 minutes.
Once you have booked a date with me, I will send you my session prep guide which includes lots of information on what to wear. Neutrals and softer colours are always a great option. However if your home has a richer colour scheme then coordinating with that will also be great! I have a selection of beautiful outfits that your newborn can borrow for our session.
Are siblings and pets welcome?
YES!! My sessions involve the whole family. If your pets want to cooperate then the more the merrier! If grandparents are visiting, they are welcome to join in some photos at the end of our session too!
Claire did an absolutely amazing job with our newborn photos. It was such a calming experience having the photos done at our house. Claire put us all at ease, and the final output is perfect!

Sarah & Brett
Our most precious photos of our little one were taken by Claire. What makes her a special photographer in my mind is her patient and calm approach, the connection she is able to make with kids (they love her!) and her knack for capturing those perfect moments or expressions (the photos of our baby's sleep smile or him sticking his tongue out at us immediately come to mind). Thanks again Claire!

Sumbul & Sanjay
We booked Claire for a maternity shoot and newborn shoot, and she was incredible to work with. She was easy to communicate with, helped us at every step and was quick to turnaround our photos. Everything she took turned out amazing and we’re so pleased with the results.
We are so happy we found Claire and can’t wait to do more family sessions with her in the future.

Tammy & Jacob
Claire took some absolutely beautiful photos of our new family. She has such a lovely way with little ones and is so patient, relaxed, gentle and she really took her time with us to take some beautiful pictures. She also has an amazing eye, she really is very creative and can work with whatever space you have available to create intimate, natural photos.

Maria & Ahmed
Claire captured some really special moments for our family during a maternity family session in a beautiful park as well as a newborn session at our home. She is incredible to work with, really bringing out the personalities in our children. Plus, she has a great personality which made our photo sessions really fun! For all these reasons I highly recommend Claire!

Claire is the best! We love the photos of our daughter! I was a bit apprehensive about a newborn session since it's such a stressful time, but she made everything relaxed and easy. Highly recommended!
