The Original YEG Baby Whisperer – 11 Years of Edmonton Newborn Photography
March 13, 2025
There’s nothing I love more than photographing newborns! With over 11 years of experience as an Edmonton newborn photographer—and as a mom of three girls myself—I’ve developed a gentle and effective process to keep babies calm, comfortable, and—most importantly—sleeping peacefully throughout their session.
It wasn’t until several parents referred to me as the baby whisperer that I realized just how much my experience and techniques make a difference. My goal is simple: to capture your baby in their purest, sleepiest, most adorable state while making the experience effortless for you.
The Secret to a Sleepy Newborn Session
Newborns are best photographed when they’re sound asleep, allowing for those dreamy, curled-up poses that parents adore. Over the years, I’ve mastered techniques to help little ones settle into a deep, relaxed slumber—and I start prepping for this even before you arrive at the studio.
I provide every parent with a guide before their session, outlining simple tips to ensure a smooth experience. The most important? Relax! Trust me, I’ve got this!
What to Expect at Your Edmonton Newborn Photos Session
Once you arrive at the studio, I’ll have everything set up and ready to go. The space is kept cozy and warm (usually around 27°C) to mimic the comfort of the womb. I ask parents to feed their baby as soon as they get here, ensuring they’re nice and full before we begin. A warm environment + a full belly = a sleepy baby!
Then, the magic begins. I carefully undress your baby and wrap them in soft, cozy swaddles. Using a combination of white noise, gentle rocking, and my signature humming technique, I guide them into a restful sleep while capturing every tiny detail—from their perfect little toes to their delicate lashes.
A Stress-Free Experience for Parents
One of the best parts of booking an Edmonton newborn portraits session with me? You get to relax! Once your baby is settled, I take care of everything. Parents are welcome to sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee, or even take a nap while I work my magic.
I want you to feel at home in my studio, which is why I’ve made sure there’s something for everyone. There’s a comfortable sofa and a TV where dads can kick back and watch sports. Want to set the mood with music? Send me your Apple Music playlist, and I’ll play it during the session. I also have a PS4 for older kids, along with Disney+ and Netflix to keep them entertained. Plus, there are always snacks and refreshments available so you can truly relax and enjoy the experience.
Of course, sometimes babies wake up, and that’s okay! If needed, I’ll soothe them back to sleep using gentle techniques. There’s no rush—we work on baby time, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable session for everyone.
Above all, I want your Edmonton newborn photos session to be a positive, relaxing, and memorable experience—one that your family will reminisce about for years to come. I go above and beyond to ensure every session is filled with warmth, care, and the joy of celebrating your newest family member.
