To get started, simply click the Say Hello or Contact Me button to reach out, ideally during your second trimester, as I only book a limited number of newborn sessions each month. Be sure to include your due date and any details you’d like me to know, such as plans to include siblings or family portraits. If you have any questions about timing, packages, or how the process works, I’m always here to help. I can’t wait to start planning this special experience with you!
1. Say Hello
2. Schedule Your session
Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send an email that includes everything you need; your booking information, contract, and invoice for the non-refundable deposit. Your due date will be added to my calendar as a "soft date" so I can plan ahead and reserve space around your estimated delivery. After your baby arrives, just let me know, and we’ll schedule your actual session date, typically between 8–21 days after birth, when your newborn is still super sleepy and cuddly for those perfect portraits.
If your baby has already arrived and you’re just now reaching out, don’t worry! I’ll do my very best to work you into the schedule, and I’m always happy to discuss available options. If you have questions about timing, flexibility, or what to expect, I’m always here to help!
I’m here to make this experience easy and enjoyable from start to finish, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions along the way. Whether you're wondering what to wear, how to prepare your baby, or what to expect during the session, I’ve got you covered. I’m just an email away and always happy to help guide you through every step of the process.

Whether we’re focusing on just baby or including siblings and parents, every detail is thoughtfully styled to create art you’ll treasure forever.
4. Your Portrait Session
Following our session, I will review all of the images taken on the day, and proceed to edit them for you. Your final edited images and gallery will be ready in around 2-3 weeks, I will then
email you and provide a login and password where you can view your images on your own personal online gallery. From there, you’ll be able to select the number of images included in
your chosen collection.

Newborn Photography Pricing Details
"We had the absolute joy of working with Amanda Camden Photography in Springfield for both our newborn and toddler photo shoots of our daughter, Jules—and we truly couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results. From the moment we arrived, Amanda made us feel completely at ease, creating a calm and welcoming environment that was perfect for capturing those fleeting, tender moments.
The newborn session was handled with such care and patience. You could tell that she had a true gift not just for photography, but for working with babies. And now that Jules is growing up she has somehow managed to bottle up her toddler energy and turn it into timeless, joy-filled portraits that we will treasure forever.
The quality of the images is simply stunning. Every shot feels like a work of art. She has an incredible eye for light, detail, and emotion (even toddler tears), and the final galleries from each visit brought happy tears to our eyes. We are so grateful to have these beautiful memories preserved, and we can’t wait to work with her again.."
