You Bring Your Baby. Leave the Rest to Me.
Before your session, we will go through concepts, styling and the overall feeling you would like to capture. I will share ideas with you, plan the details and put everything together ahead of time so when you arrive, you can simply come with your baby and let the rest flow.
I love creating every detail, from the backdrop and textures to the blankets, baskets, outfits and carefully selected props. Every setup is thoughtfully planned so the final photographs feel artistic, personal and beautifully put together.
As a mom, stylist and designer, I pay close attention to the smallest details while allowing your baby to set the pace. Feeding, changing and settling are all part of a newborn session. There is never a need to rush your little one.
When should I book?
The best time to reserve your newborn session is during pregnancy, once you have an approximate due date. Once baby arrives, we can adjust the session date as needed.
Ideally, newborn photographs are taken within the first two weeks. I know how tiny and new everything feels during those first days, and planning a photoshoot may feel like one more thing to think about. But this stage passes incredibly quickly.
During these early weeks, babies usually sleep deeply and can be gently positioned into the soft, curled poses that make newborn photographs so special.
Planning your session
Everything is discussed before your session so I can prepare the correct setup, timing and details specifically for you.
If you would like parents, siblings or additional family members included, this needs to be arranged in advance. Additional people or concepts may require extra session time and will be reflected in the session pricing.
Please review the session packages and additional options when planning your booking.
What to expect
A newborn session is calm, flexible and led by your baby. Feeding, changing, settling and cuddling are expected, and there is no pressure to move quickly from one setup to the next. ParPar Portraits prepares the visual details in advance while leaving the pace of the session open enough to respond to what your baby needs.
Safety and comfort always come before a particular photograph. Every pose and prop is approached carefully, and anything that does not suit your baby can be adjusted or skipped. This patient approach is part of creating newborn portraits that feel peaceful rather than forced.
Styling, custom concepts and location
Styled newborn photography can include wraps, delicate outfits, blankets, baskets, textures and carefully selected props from the studio collection. Before the session, we will discuss colours and ideas so the custom newborn photography concept feels personal to your family. No two sessions are designed in exactly the same way.
Sessions are available in North York or in your home throughout Toronto and the GTA by appointment. Sessions in North York keep the styling collection close at hand, while in home newborn photography in Toronto gives families the option to remain in their own space. An additional in home session fee applies.
What should parents bring?
Please arrive with a freshly fed baby and the everyday essentials you normally use for feeding and changing. Wraps, outfits, props and setups are provided in studio, so there is no need to assemble a collection of newborn accessories before you come.
If parents will be photographed, comfortable neutral clothing keeps the focus on your baby and photographs beautifully with the soft studio palette. Sibling and parent portraits should be requested when booking so enough time and the right setup can be prepared.
Whether you are looking for a newborn photographer in Toronto, a newborn photographer in North York or a baby photographer close to home, the experience begins with a simple conversation about your due date and the photographs you hope to hold onto.
