HOUSTON NEWBORN AND BABY PHOTOGRAPHY
A Cherished Newborn Portrait Experience.
Since baby may arrive before or after their due date, I only take a limited number of newborn bookings each month.
We will put their due date on the calendar and you can contact me as soon as baby arrives to select your exact session appointment.
Houston Newborn and Baby Photography
Welcoming A New Family Member.
Atascocita Photography is a nationally published photography studio based in Northeast Houston, where we specialize in newborn portraits that are simple and timeless.
All of our Houston newborn and baby photography sessions are on-location either at your home, a rental studio or even outdoor.
At Atascocita Photography we believe newborn photography is so important because this phase of life is so precious and so temporary. We are dedicated to designing a newborn or baby photography experience that each parent will remember as the highlight of one of the most special moments in their life.
I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.

Newborn Portrait Process
From Booking to Printing.
STEP ONE.
Book your session as early as possible to get your preferred date. For this Houston newborn photographer, Saturday sessions are the first to fill up during the fall and spring seasons. Houston newborn sessions typically book 2-6 months in advance since many families book the maternity and newborn sessions at the same time. Is your due date closer than 2 months away? Don’t worry we can fit you in, but you may have to schedule your newborn portrait session for a weekday evening or weekend morning. Use the form at the bottom of the page to contact Stephanie. She’ll let you know what dates are available and send you a booking invoice to reserve your photo shoot appointment.
STEP TWO.
Each newborn session is unique. Upon booking, a session design consultation is available for each family via phone, email or in-person to discuss the vision for your newborn pictures. Stephanie can help with ideas for colors, props, outfits and even simple ways to incorporate a theme. If you are incorporating family photos, you should also book your hair & makeup artist at this time. It isn’t required, but helps you show up to your session looking and feeling your best. References for hair & makeup artists available upon request.
STEP THREE.
It’s the day of your newborn session and time to get ready. Key points: for baby: if you want them to sleep, feed them when you arrive to the studio. Family Members: If we are only photographing the baby, please only bring up to two adults to the studio along with the baby. If the family is being photographed, I recommend that one parent be available to take the older kids to the park or for a ride in the car. We don’t really have anything to entertain older children after their photos are completed at the studio and need to keep the room very quiet so the new baby can sleep. Adults, arrive at your session wearing your first outfit with hair and makeup ready to go. Children should have hair ready to go but may put on their outfit once arriving at the studio. Props are welcome- but advise you to keep things simple and small. Always reach out before hand if you have any questions, we’re happy to help!
STEP FOUR.
About 10 days after your newborn or baby portrait session you’ll be able to see your images for the first time! You’ll get to pick out your favorite images to order as printable digital files, canvas, albums, wall art and more! A la carte and all-inclusive (digital & print) package options are available. Some parents order all digitals and some a combination of printed and digital images.
