Newborn sessions are scheduled all year and are held in my in-home studio located in Grand Rapids. It's stocked with an amazing selection of beautiful props, wraps, bonnets, headbands, and adorable outfits - all carefully selected to create beautiful images of your sweet baby. Before your session we will go over every detail to customize the perfect newborn session for you. I'll get to know more about your vision for your session through your pre-session planning questionnaire. While I work on capturing stunning images of your baby, you can sit back, relax, and soak in the experience. Your baby will always be in your sight during the session, and I encourage you to watch and enjoy the magic.
Each session includes a variety of portrait setups that I design just for you, based on our discussions, and the answers on your session planning questionnaire beforehand. I offer a few package options including two packages that include precious portraits of parents and siblings with your new baby.
Newborn sessions are shot all year with a limited number of DUE DATES per MONTH. Once you know your due date you can secure your spot in my calendar by filling out the contact me for below, or emailing me at honeywildphoto@gmail.com.
I absolutely LOVE working with Honeywild Photography! I started with just newborn photos and when I got my images back I quickly decided that I needed to do all of the other milestones with her. She was incredible during the shoot with my daughter and the images I now have are priceless

It’s recommended to schedule your session early, as only a limited number of sessions are available each month, and spots fill quickly. For newborn sessions, booking during your second trimester is ideal to ensure availability
All props, headbands, bonnets, outfits, layers, and blankets are included in your studio newborn session. These props are specifically made for professional newborn photographers by talented artist from across the world. I am constantly adding to my prop collection.
Since due dates are mostly an estimate, and birth can be unpredicatable, I use your due date as a placeholder in my schedule. Once your sweet baby arrives I ask that you reach out to me as soon as possible so we can schedule your sessions within 7-14 days. Every birth is unique, so session dates and time are always flexible.
Short answer; Yes!
Long answer; I do require a $50 retainer in order to reserve your session on my calendar and I am happy to create a payment plan that works with your family
Post-processing is the most time intensive part of your shoot, and so typically my session turnaround is about 3-5 weeks. Photos are delivered via digital download for instant access and easy sharing.
Absolutely. While your session fee includes the session & digital files only, I also offer custom designed albums, keepsakes and professional prints after your session.
Yes. However, once booked all retainers are non refundable, as I am holding the date for you and turning away other clients.
Absolutely love all of the photos we have done through Jackie @ Honeywild Photography!! We have done newborn, sitter milestone, family session, a popup, and now a first birthday and most likely many more in the future!! She provides such a welcoming and warm environment and is so wonderful to work with!! I recommend her 10/10 times when i know someone looking for a newborn photographer and i get so many compliments on all of our photos!!
