The Ultimate Guide to Newborn Photography in Winnipeg: What Every Parent Needs to Know

If you’re expecting and wondering how to choose the right newborn baby photographer in Winnipeg, this guide is for you. Whether you're a first-time parent or growing your family, documenting your baby’s first weeks is something you’ll never regret (you'll only regret missing out!). Here's everything you need to know about planning your Winnipeg newborn photography session—from when to book to what to expect, and how to choose the photographer that’s right for your family.

When to Book Your Newborn Photography Session in Winnipeg

The best time to book your newborn session is right after you reach the 12-week mark in your pregnancy. This ensures your spot is secured on my calendar, and you won’t have to scramble to find a photographer last minute. I typically photograph babies in Winnipeg and surrounding areas in my studio, outdoors or in your home between 2–6 weeks old, which allows for those sweet, squishy newborn shots while still giving new parents time to settle in. I’m also happy to work with babies up to 12 weeks old because sometimes we just want to soak in those early days without leaving our house much. Both are great!

In-Home vs. Outdoor vs. Studio Newborn Sessions

Every family has a different vibe, and I offer a variety of session styles to suit you:

• In-Home Newborn Photography – Perfect if you want cozy, relaxed images of your family in your own environment. How amazing will it be one day showing your baby girl or baby boy how special it was bringing them home to the first place they will live. Filled with their first family pet, another sibling or their special room made perfect just for them.

• Outdoor Newborn Sessions in Winnipeg – Best in late spring to early fall, outdoor sessions are magical for families who want a nature-inspired backdrop. I’ll guide you to the best locations and keep baby safe and cozy.

• Studio-Style Sessions – The studio is an awesome option if you do not want to clean your home or play with nature. It's always gorgeous, clean and organized. You just show up and we get to snapping!

What to Wear for Newborn Photos

Once you book with me, you’ll receive a full style and prep guide that includes what to wear, how to prep your space, and how to get baby ready for their session. I keep things stress-free and support you every step of the way!

What Makes My Newborn Photography Experience Different?

I bring more than just a camera to your session—I bring energy, warmth, and experience working with small kids and newborn babies. I know how to capture those dreamy shots of baby and get natural, joy-filled moments with your whole family. I’ll help you feel relaxed, guided, and genuinely seen. My goal? Photos that feel real, timeless, and true to you.
