Grand Rapids 
 Newborn Photographer

Booking a newborn session can seem overwhelmoing—new baby, no sleep, a million decisions.
You don’t need to plan anything here.
From the colors and textures to how your baby is gently posed, every detail is thoughtfully designed ahead of time. My studio is calm, quiet, and intentionally slow—so you can sit, breathe, and just be with your baby while I take care of the rest.

Your baby's first portraits- thoughtfully designed, beautifully captured....

A studio designed to be warm. Quiet. Intentional. Soft light, gentle movement, and a slower pace—because this season already moves fast enough. Most parents tell me this is the first time they’ve been able to sit and truly take it all in.

A Studio Designed for You to Slow Down

Newborn sessions are limited each month to allow for flexibility, because babies are the one's really in charge here.

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!!

Yes. However, once booked all retainers are non refundable, as I am holding the date for you and turning away other clients. 

can i cancel/reschedule my session?

Absolutely. While your session fee includes the session & digital files only, I also offer custom designed albums, keepsakes and professional prints after your session.

do you offer albums & prints?

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.

when/how will i receive my images?

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 

do you offer payment plans?

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. 

What If my baby doesn't come on their due date (early/late)?

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. 

are props/accessories included in my newborn session?

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

When should i book my session?
