Pure, Natural Newborn Photography

Newborn photography is an art that allows for parents to capture their tiny little before they quickly grow up. With the natural & intricate poses, vintage & rustic textures, neutral & organic colour tones, we offer timeless & classic portraits. Imagine having the option of capturing these images in the great outdoors. Once Spring & Summer arrive, you can!

What’s different from a regular studio newborn session?

With studio or outdoor newborn sessions, it’s never too early to book to ensure we have the flexibility to work around their arrival schedule. Outdoor posed newborn sessions are only possible during the summer months when the temperature is between 23-32 degrees Celsius for health and safety reasons, and with limited availability. Since Ottawa weather tends to be on the cooler side for a large portion of the year, we only schedule outdoor sessions for May through September (weather dependent).

 We have offered outdoor newborn sessions through the winter, but they are not the typical posed sessions, as baby needs to be covered up at all times for safety. The temperature cut off is +5 degrees Celcius, and there is a small selection of pre-qualified locations to choose from that have easy access to an indoor location to warm up and soothe baby in between shots. Booked on a case-by-case basis as add-on options to a regular studio session.

Inspiration for Outdoor Newborn Baby Photos

We are specialized in newborn photography, and sometimes it’s nice to be able to step out into nature to capture your littles.

This particular series of outdoor baby photos were captured during the summer of 2013 on a secret beach in Gatineau, Quebec facing the gorgeous Ottawa riverside.

Please note: The newborn was never in direct sunlight; we had a diffuser (or mom) over him at all times. Mom was our spotter the entire session, and she was never more than arms reach away. Safety always comes first.

Almost all of our studio props and accessories are available for use in outdoor portraits. Here is a selection of sample outdoor newborn photo setups that can be used for your session.

The nature location pictured below is right outside the studio, which means an outdoor set can be added onto any of our full newborn sessions, time & weather permitting.
