Bringing a newborn into the world is a miracle, and those first days are precious. At Chunky Monkey Photography, I understand that your baby’s safety is the most important part of every session. Photography is meaningful, but it should never compromise your newborn’s comfort or well-being.

With 18 years of professional photography experience, I have worked with countless newborns, learning the safest techniques for posing, handling, and supporting tiny bodies. Every pose, prop, and setup is chosen with care to ensure your baby is always secure and comfortable.

Newborns are delicate, and every movement must be slow and intentional. I guide each session with gentle hands, supporting heads, necks, and limbs at all times. Nothing is forced—your baby’s comfort always comes first.

Each session flows according to your baby’s cues. Feedings, breaks, or extra snuggles are never rushed, allowing your newborn to settle naturally. This baby-led approach ensures both safety and authentic, peaceful images.

My studio is a warm, calm space prepared with everything needed for a successful session. Soft wraps, blankets, and props are sanitized and arranged to create a safe environment. Parents can relax knowing the studio is fully equipped for a secure, peaceful experience.

From simple swaddle shots to classic newborn poses, every position is carefully executed to highlight your baby’s features without compromising safety. If a pose requires support, I use safe techniques or composite photography to ensure your baby is never at risk.

Parents often tell me that the safety-first approach allows them to relax and enjoy the session. Watching your newborn in safe, loving hands gives peace of mind, so you can focus on the joy of capturing these fleeting moments.

At Chunky Monkey Photography, newborn safety isn’t just a priority—it’s the foundation of every session. By focusing on gentle handling, baby-led pacing, and a secure environment, I can create timeless, beautiful images that you and your family will treasure forever.
Your newborn deserves nothing less than care, patience, and expertise—and that’s exactly what I provide at every session.

With love,
