    I’m available to travel anywhere in or around the Greater Montreal area and I am also available for travel.

    Newborn Photographer

    Hi, I’m Carolina!

    As a Montreal newborn photographer, my favourite part of this work is noticing the love and beauty that already exist in your everyday life. When you’re in the middle of sleepless nights, feedings, and adjusting to a new rhythm, it can be hard to slow down and see how special these moments truly are. That’s where I come in.

    As a mom of two (now much bigger) kids, I remember the blur of those early days. The exhaustion and the quiet moments of joy that take your breath away. These days pass quickly, but photographs give you a way to hold on. My newborn sessions are designed to be calm, baby-led, and centred on what matters most, your family, your connection, and the fleeting little details you’ll want to remember forever.

    If you’re looking for newborn photography in Montreal that feels natural and relaxed, I’d love to capture this season for you.

    My approach to newborn photography is simple: no stiff poses, no pressure, just you and your baby as you are. I create space for you to relax, forget about the camera, and enjoy these first moments together. Your gallery will reflect real connection, love, and all the tiny details that make this time unforgettable.

    No stiff posing, no rushing, just the quiet, real moments of these early days.

    Newborn Session Details

    When to Book Your Newborn Session

    The best time to book is while you’re still expecting, usually in the second or early third trimester. This way, I can save a spot for you around your due date. I only take on a limited number of newborn sessions each month, which allows me to be flexible if your baby arrives earlier or later than expected. Once your little one is here, we’ll set a session date that feels right for you and your family.

    And if your baby has already arrived, it’s not too late – reach out and I’ll do my best to fit you in.

    Where does our session take place

    All of my newborn sessions take place in your home. It’s where you and your baby are most comfortable, and it’s the perfect backdrop for photos that feel real and personal.

    Your home doesn’t need to be picture-perfect. I’ll guide you to the best light and the spots that will make your photos beautiful.

    What matters most is that you’re together, in the place where these first memories are being made.

    If home doesn’t feel like the right option, I also have access to a beautiful natural-light studio in Westmount that we can rent for your session.

    What to Expect During Your Session

    Newborn sessions are calm, slow-paced, and completely baby-led. We take our time so there’s plenty of room for feeding, changing, and soothing breaks. There’s no pressure for your baby to “perform” – we just follow their cues.

    Sessions usually last about 1-2 hours and include parents, siblings, and even pets. My goal is to capture the natural connection between you and your baby, so the photos feel relaxed and real.

    I photograph newborn sessions all across the Greater Montreal Area, from Outremont, Plateau, and Mile End, to Westmount, Verdun, and the West Island. I also travel to Laval and the South Shore for families who want this same relaxed, at-home experience.

    You don’t have to know what to do – I’ll guide you through it all so you can relax and just enjoy your baby.

    My role is to notice the little moments you might not see and turn them into photos you’ll love forever.

    i’d love to hear from you

    Life with a newborn doesn’t always go to plan, and that’s okay. I build flexibility into every session so you don’t have to stress about timing, mess, or how the day unfolds.

    What To Expect From Your Session

    A Relaxed, Baby-Led Experience

    No pressure, no rush, your baby sets the pace.

    I believe photo sessions should be laid back. There are no expectations for you, your kids, or your newborn. Babies run the show, and that’s the mindset I bring. Feeding, changing, or soothing breaks are all part of it. I don’t time your session, I stay until I know you’ll have a beautiful variety of images you’ll love.

    At Home, Where You’re Most Comfortable

    Your home is the perfect backdrop for real memories.

    Your house doesn’t need to be perfect – home is comfort, home is happiness and that’s what makes it the perfect place for your session. All I need is you, your baby, and some natural light. I’ll guide you to the best spaces so your photos feel effortless and personal.

    Guidance Without Pressure

    Gentle direction so you can focus on what matters.

    When I arrive, you’ll show me around and I’ll choose the best light. I won’t fully pose you, but I’ll give you gentle direction so everything feels natural. No stiff smiles into the camera, instead, you’ll focus on your baby and family. My goal is to make the whole experience comfortable, stress-free, and memorable.

    FAQ

    Your Questions Answered

    It’s best to book during your pregnancy to make sure I have space around your due date. We’ll set a flexible date, and once your baby arrives, we can adjust if needed.

    There’s no time limit on your session, I will go with your baby’s flow, stopping for breaks anytime they need a feeding or a diaper change. Most sessions last about 1-2 hours, a little longer when toddler siblings are involved!

    Once you’ve reserved your session I’ll send you a session welcome guide to help prepare you for your session and this will include a what to wear guide. With newborns I always recommend light, neutral colours as these will add elegance and softness to your images. I am more than happy to help you select your outfits if you need.

    There’s no problem if your space is small – all we need is a room with a window and we can create beautiful images for your family. Many of the photos in my portfolio were taken in small modest spaces. The photos are about your family, not your home.

    That’s totally normal, and it’s never a problem. I work with kids all the time, and I follow their lead. Sometimes the little in-between moments, cuddles, silliness, or even shyness, make the most meaningful photos.

    I show up with just my camera. I’ll look around and figure out where to shoot. I’ll chat with your kids so they trust me. Then we just have fun. Kids get to be kids. I give a little guidance but mostly I follow their lead. There are usually more smiles than tears.

    Most newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home. You don’t need a big or perfectly styled space, all we need is a window and your family’s love to create beautiful photos. If you’d prefer not to have the session at home, I also have access to a natural-light studio in Westmount that we can rent for your session.

    You’ll receive your full gallery within 2 weeks.
