Newborn photos – indoor or outdoor?

Why choose when you can have both?

The beauty of living in Miami is that you can take indoor and outdoor newborn photos year-round.   I’m lucky enough to have lush, green outdoor space right outside my studio, so I offer clients both options at no extra charge.  It is wonderful to be able to do this because the two settings make for very different newborn photos.  Indoor photos are taken in my studio with natural light and a wide variety of backdrops and wraps.  Outdoor photos, on the other hand, use the natural environment as a backdrop.  Take a look at the images below and see how the first three images differ from the last one.

I always recommend that my clients allow for a few outdoor photos at the end of their newborn photo shoot, weather permitting of course.

This little cutie in the photos below certainly enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor photos.  He was such an easy baby, and he even smiled in a few of his photos.  I was lucky enough to photograph his big sister roughly a year ago.  Clearly mom and dad have their hands full with two little ones so close in age, but both were calm as could be, which made for a wonderfully smooth shoot!

Fall family sessions are in full swing 🍂 This beautiful family invited me to photograph them right behind their building — complete with peaceful water views and two sweet girls with the warmest smiles. Miami may not have the fall colors, but it’s the perfect time for updated family photos by the water 💛

Sometimes the smallest stories hold the most strength 💛

This sweet baby boy spent his first weeks in the NICU after arriving a little earlier than expected. His parents invited me in to capture those tiny details—the fingers wrapped around theirs, the peaceful moments in between the beeps and wires, the love that filled that room.

I’m so happy to share that he’s home now, healthy and thriving—and we just finished his newborn session in the studio (stay tuned for those photos!).

Every family’s journey looks a little different, and it’s an honor to help preserve these first chapters. 💫

What’s one moment of your life you wish you had a photo of?
For me, it’s my second pregnancy. I didn’t do professional photos that time, and I wish I had something beautiful to look back on from that season of life.

That’s why I love capturing sessions like this one — a couple in the studio, full of excitement and anticipation as they get ready to meet their first baby. These images will hold all the emotion of this moment forever — the love, the connection, the quiet joy before everything changes. 💫

If you’re expecting, don’t wait to capture this chapter. You’ll never regret having these memories preserved beautifully.

These photos will be priceless one day — why wait to take them? 💕
This newborn session was all about family — four generations together, celebrating love, life, and the arrival of a new little one. We captured mom, dad, grandma, and great-grandma — moments that will only become more meaningful with time.

Photographs like these are the kind you’ll treasure forever — reminders of where we come from and the love that carries through generations.

Don’t wait to capture the moments you’ll want to remember forever. 💫

5 things you might not know about me (but totally should!).

🌆 I’m originally from New York City—but Miami’s light and color have completely stolen my heart and shaped my photography style.

💼 I worked a corporate job at Bacardi for 10 years before discovering my passion for photography and starting my own business.

📚 I was a psychology major in college—I’ve always been fascinated by people and how they connect, which really influences my photography.

❤️ Both of my kids have red hair—even though my husband and I are both brunettes!

💃 When I’m not behind the camera, I’m moving! Between dance class, regular pickleball games, lifting weights, and chasing toddlers—I basically never sit still 😅. #MiamiPhotographer #FamilyPhotography #NewbornPhotography #MaternityPhotography #PhotographyLife #PhotographerStory #BehindTheLens #PhotographerLife #Mompreneur
