The Newborn Experience
Luxury In-Home Newborn Photography in Lafayette, Indiana
Those first few weeks with a newborn pass in a blur of tiny details: delicate eyelashes, wrinkly fingers, sleepy stretches, and the quiet connection between you and your baby.
As a newborn photographer serving Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana, my goal is to slow those moments down and transform them into timeless artwork your family will treasure for generations.
Your newborn session takes place in the comfort of your own home, allowing busy Lafayette area families to enjoy a relaxed, stress-free experience without the pressure of packing up and leaving the house with a brand new baby. I bring a full studio setup directly to you, including professional lighting, wraps, props, backdrops, and carefully curated styling to create beautiful studio-style newborn portraits in a comfortable environment designed around your family.
A luxury client wardrobe is also available for both mothers and newborns to help create a cohesive, look without the stress of shopping or planning outfits before your session.
During your newborn session, I use a gentle, baby-led approach to posing that always prioritizes your baby’s comfort and safety. Sessions are intentionally unhurried, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and natural moments of connection. The final portraits become more than digital images, they become heirlooms for your family to display in your home, preserve in albums, and pass down for generations to come.

She treated my daughter like she was her own!
Brenaya was AMAZING with my little girl. She truly exemplified what an ideal newborn photographer is. She treated my daughter like she was her own, she never rushed at all and took her time with every pose, making sure that my daughter was safe and comfortable. I never felt rushed when my daughter got fussy and needed to eat which I’m so thankful for. She has gained a lifelong client from my family for all of our studio sessions as her communication, amazing personality, and carefulness is something that was so wonderful. I don’t think I’ve ever felt as comfortable in a studio as I felt then. With newborn photographers the biggest question is if it they have adequate training and truthfully know how delicate it is handling a newborn. Some are in it for a quick buck but not Brenaya. She is in it for the love of it, I could truly see that. I could see how careful she was and that is what you want in a newborn photographer. Trusting her to capture precious photos of your baby will be something you’ll be so glad you did forever!

FAQ- Newborn Photography Session
Can siblings join in on the session?
They absolutely can! I do these photos towards the end of the session. So I ask if there are siblings that it is best if another parent is around to hang out with them while we are shooting baby by themselves or another parent/relative/friend bring them towards the end of the session when it is time for parent poses.
Newborn sessions take anywhere from 2.5-3 hours in length and little ones do not like to sit still for very long waiting for their turn to be photographed.
How old should my newborn be for photos?
Newborn portraits are best done within the first 3 weeks of your baby being born with the sweet spot being within the first 11-18 days following delivery. Your baby will be very sleepy still at this age and won’t mind being posed in squishy newborn positions. After this age range babies tend to not be as sleepy and are more alert during their session; which can mean your newborn session could take a little longer.
When should you schedule your Newborn Session in Lafayette & West Lafayette with Brenaya Faye Photography?
It’s highly recommended to schedule your newborn photography session before your baby arrives.
If you want a guaranteed spot it’s best to book at least 4 weeks to 3 months prior to your due date.
When booking your newborn photoshoot with me I will tentatively put your due date on my calendar and once you deliver we will schedule a firm date for the session within those first Three weeks of baby being born.
I only schedule a certain number of clients a month so be sure to secure early.
Do you provide digital images?
Yes, all packages include digital files. Although I do believe that your portraits do deserve to be displayed beyond digitally! The Raw/Un-edited images are not provided to client.
What should I wear for the family portion of the newborn session?
It’s best to avoid bright colors and clothing with logos. Creams, neutrals, blacks and grays photograph beautifully and are very classic and timeless. I also love the look of textures/ simple patterns.
The shooting space will be kept nice and warm during the session (by a portable heater) to keep baby comfortable and cozy. So you will want to wear something light and then change into your clothes for the family portion when it is time.
I do have a client closet with dresses/gowns/ tops for mama and siblings if you wanted to wear something in the client closet.
Where do newborn sessions take place?
Specializing in Newborn Photography in Lafayette, Indiana, I aim to serve all clients in and around Indianapolis metro areas. Your newborn photoshoot will take place in the comfort of your own home.
Newborn sessions are done on weekday mornings starting at 9-10am. Weekend availability is available for an additional fee.
Your Indiana Newborn Session Experience
If you are interested in a Fresh 48 hospital session, I would love to connect as well.
Please allow 1–3 hours for your in-home newborn session. Each session is kept simple and baby-focused, with a curated selection of props, wraps, outfits, headbands, and hats available for use. Parent and sibling portraits are always included.
I accept a limited number of newborn sessions each month, so early booking is recommended to secure your session date.
If your baby is older than 18 days, that is absolutely okay. While younger newborns are often easier to pose, older babies can still be beautifully photographed with patience.
As an experienced Lafayette Indiana newborn photographer, I am passionate about capturing meaningful, timeless images at every stage.
