Newborn Photography


For the days you wish you could bottle up and keep forever.

Those first days with your baby are beautiful, exhausting, overwhelming, and somehow gone before you’re ready for them to be. Their tiny fingers, the way they curl into your chest, the sleepy stretches, the little sounds they make in your arms… these are the details you think you’ll always remember.

But time has a way of softening the edges of those memories.

My newborn sessions are about preserving more than how your baby looked. They’re about documenting how it felt to become a family.

We’ll slow down and make space for all of it: the tiny details, the snuggles, the sibling kisses, the way your baby fits perfectly against you, and the moments in between. Your baby doesn’t need to sleep the entire time, and your toddler doesn’t need to sit perfectly still. There’s no pressure to make everything look perfect.

You just get to be together.

I’ll guide you through the session with a calm, relaxed approach so you can focus on your baby rather than wondering what to do with your hands or how to pose. Whether your little one needs to be fed, changed, rocked, or held for a few extra minutes, we’ll follow their lead.

Because someday, your baby won’t fit in your arms quite like this.

And you’ll be so glad you have photographs that let you remember it.

Newborn sessions are available in my Union County, NJ studio and are designed to be relaxed, intimate, and centered around your family.

Client Testimonials


"Elena is an exceptionally talented and creative photographer! We had the joy of working with her for our family and newborn photos, and the results were absolutely stunning! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the beautiful images she captured. I was especially amazed at how many fantastic shots Elena managed to get of my toddler, despite his nonstop energy during the shoot!

We’re already looking forward to booking Elena again for our next family photos!"



I had the pleasure of working with Elena for my daughter’s newborn photoshoot. She took the time to understand what our goals were for the session, was communicative leading up to our shoot and helpful by providing a style guide/feedback when I inquired about wardrobe options. Elena was extremely easy going and flexible during our photoshoot which was a relief when you’re not only working with a newborn but an active toddler as well. She will help guide you with posing and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was able to capture beautiful photos of our family that we will cherish in the years to come. I highly recommend her services. You will not be disappointed.



They grow so fast.

Remember the little details.
