NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY THAT WAITS FOR YOU.

Capturing Genuine Connections with Older Newborn Photography

Older Newborn Sessions

Newborn photography doesn't have to happen in the earliest, most overwhelming days. Early Expressions Sessions are designed for babies 5–10 weeks old — when your baby is more expressive, and you finally have room to breathe.

WHY 5-10 WEEKS for newborn photography?

Your 2 week window just grew to ten.

  • Babies are more alert, expressive, and beginning to make eye contact

  • You're more rested and present — actually able to connect in front of the camera

  • Siblings have settled into their new role

  • The result is portraits full of real connection, not just posed sleep

Hi, I’m Chris. Your photographer and baby whisperer.

I am the only photographer on Vancouver Island who specializes in Older Newborn Photography "Early Expressions" Sessions — with an extensive portfolio built entirely around this beautiful, often-missed window. As a mom of three with countless hours of photographing babies, I look forward to being your supporter while capturing your family’s story.

Frequently Asked Questions

  •  Ideally during your second or early third trimester, so you have a spot reserved. Once baby arrives, we'll confirm the session date together.

  • Most photographers photograph babies at 7–14 days. I specialise in older newborns — 5–10 weeks — when babies are more alert, expressive, and interactive. You'll also be more rested and ready to connect.

  • No problem. I hold a spot on my calendar for you, and when baby arrives, we set the date. The older newborn window gives us much more flexibility.

  • Yes — siblings are always encouraged. I keep it simple, calm, and quick so it feels fun and doable for everyone

  • Absolutely. We'll capture a mix of baby alone and family connection images. (Fair warning: the ones together are usually your favourites.)

  • You don't need to feel perfect. I'll guide you into flattering positions and keep everything natural. Most moms leave saying "That was so much easier than I expected."

    Baby's health always comes first. If anyone in your family is unwell, we'll reschedule — no stress, no fees.

“I chose the Older Newborn session because I wanted my baby’s real personality — awake, expressive, and engaging. Chris captured it beautifully. Our gallery feels authentic, full of life, and exactly what I hoped for.”
