the newborn experience with shutter & bloom

The newborn experience at Shutter & Bloom is an invitation to slow down and hold onto a moment that passes far too quickly. These first days are tender, fleeting, and impossibly magical. Within weeks, everything changes—tiny fingers stretch, sleepy curls shift, and newborn softness gives way to something new. This brief season deserves to be remembered exactly as it is.

Your newborn session is designed to create heirloom images—dreamy, artistic photographs that honor your baby’s earliest features and the quiet love surrounding them. Images meant not only for today, but for years from now… and for generations who will one day look back and feel the warmth of this beginning. 🤍

Jessica is trained in newborn safety and gentle posing, creating a calm, cozy space where babies are soothed and families can simply be present. With years of experience and the trust of hundreds of families, her approach is rooted in connection—capturing the soft in-between moments, the way you hold your baby, the love that fills the room.

Each session is thoughtfully styled using a curated collection of wraps, bonnets, florals, fabrics, and one-of-a-kind props—some carefully sourced, some lovingly thrifted—to ensure your images feel artistic, intentional, and beautifully unique. Nothing rushed. Nothing cookie-cutter. Just timeless imagery that feels as gentle and meaningful as the moment itself.

All of your favorite images included in every session, so the only thing to decide is which to print for your home!!! I cannot wait for you to view your love through my lens. Scroll through to see newborn & family images from most recent and descending.
