Congratulations, you're having a baby! I am so thrilled for you!
As a mother of two, I understand the exhilaration and apprehension that comes with this phase of your life. I also recognize the extraordinary value and tenderness found in those initial moments with your newborn. Whether this is your first experience or not, capturing photographs of your growing family is a decision you will always treasure..
I create memorable newborn portraits with a lifestyle touch. No elaborate props or poses. Your baby leads the way. Capture the cherished connection between you and your little one. Snuggles and precious details included. Every tiny hand and wiggly toe documented with care.

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 N
Baby N was welcomed by her adoring parents and proud big sister. Our session was on a cool spring morning, in the Junction Triangle, Toronto, but that didn't stop us from capturing these warm and loving photos.
It's so fun to see older siblings with their new family member. Big sister was a total superstar.

Baby K
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 K's kitty sibling joined the fun!

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.

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...
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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 is a wonderful family portrait photographer. She is easy to communicate with, understands a client's needs/vision, is comfortable to work with and most importantly, she takes amazing candid shots that we will cherish forever! Highly recommended.

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!

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!

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.
Claire was clearly experienced and made our space work regardless of the weather. On the day of our newborn shoot it was extremely overcast and rainy and I was worried about how dark it was in our house, but she managed to take all our photos using just one window which was amazing. She’s also great with kids - my toddler who is picky with people didn’t want her to go when she had to leave!
We are so happy we found Claire and can’t wait to do more family sessions with her in the future.

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 (we have a tiny 2 bedroom in the city, so I was initially a little worried that we didn’t have the “right” setting for beautiful photos, but she took absolutely gorgeous photos, both inside and outside of our home).
She is extremely service-oriented as it was clear that main goal was to make sure we were comfortable and really happy with the photos she took, which we were. Also, her packages are well priced and are flexible, so that we were able to get exactly what we wanted. We had a lovely experience with Claire and we absolutely can’t wait to do another photo shoot with Claire as our family grows!!

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!
